The highly anticipated launch of the Maison Martin Margiela with H & M made its debut last week with a bash at a historic but dilapidated cast iron building with a nine story atrium in FiDi. Star clout was robust as Sarah Jessicca Parker, Kanye West, Chace Crawford and Julianne Moore were in attendance along with several fashion designers. The line was extensive for those who sought to buy the Belgian designer’s recreated pieces before they hit stores November 15th. Prices for the collaboration will be less than $400.00.

We learned this summer Penelope Cruz partnered with photographer Kristian Schuller to create Campari’s 2013 calendar. The Campari calendar, which has become a collectible due to its limited edition quantities and guest lists of notable stars and photographers has certainly created a following across the globe. In 2012, we discovered, “It’s The End of the World Baby!” starring Milla Jovovich, shot by Dmitri Daniloff. And now, the wait is finally over. Campari is scheduled to reveal the 2013 calendar next month at an exclusive affair in Milan with Cruz, Schuller and few Campari friends. Guests will observe the final images, as well as the theme and fashion. We were able to snag a few photos to give you a little behind the scenes glance before the official unveiling on November 13th.
