You know your guy friend is playing for the other team when he is as excited about these old movie star dresses as you!

If I could live in any other time, I would have to say it would be in the 1950's to 1960 in Rome, on the via Veneto.

Fernanda Gattinoni for Kim Novak

I would be an a hourglass vixen, with heavy eyeliner, a hot temper and smoldering sexuality in a Maserati convertible with a death-defyingly sexy man by my side. Marcello Mastroianni would be on my short list of suitors. We would be filmed, in black and white-- of course-- as we tried to make it past the paparazzi of the Federico Fellini "La Dolce Vita" kind.

I also had my Audrey Hepburn infatuation and almost died when I met her, but that's another story.

So, who could possibly be as obsessed (interested?) in the allure of this period and its style more than my GBF, Richard Nahem, who once told me that I had a Kim Novak back, and I got what he meant!

Rome comes to Paris by way of the Fernanda Gattinoni Exhibit at Italian Cultural Center; Richard reports. --S.H.

In the 50's and 60's Italian couturier Fernanda Gattinoni designed clothes for the biggest Hollywood and international stars including Kim Novak, Ingrid Bergman, Anouk Aimee, Bette Davis, Gina Lollobrigida, Ava Gardner, and Anna Magnani.

My Dog, Myself: Paris Pooches... they've got the look!

Only in Paris when you look like your dog, it will be chic!

I know I will get an argument by dog lovers from other places (particularly from Sharon and her love of French poodles), but I say no one loves their dogs more than Parisians.

I back up my statement with the fact that dogs are allowed almost anywhere in Paris- at the butcher, the baker, restaurants, the metro, parks, art galleries, food shops, boutiques, and dog grooming salons.

Kate Moss for Longchamp was so five minutes ago as we dig further back in It Girl sex symbols to go forward in It Bags

Lancel is reverting back to the glory days of the iconic French sex symbol Brigitte Bardot with its launch of Le Brigitte Bardot handbag. Known as the provocative "woman child" who captured 1950's Saint Tropez and the world with her so carefree, sexy teased blonde hair, heavily lined cat eyes, and sometimes wearing not much else... well, the bikini and gingham have her to thank for a rise in popularity.

It's a Fashion Win-Win: Wear what's on a VOGUE France cover and help eliminate AIDS in Africa

Emporio Armani and (PRODUCT) RED continue their partnership with a special series of spring-summer T-shirts

Just in time for warm weather, the partnership between Emporio Armani and (PRODUCT) RED continues with the launch of a special series of spring-summer T-shirts, for which a part of the profits of these sales will be directly given to the Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa.

We think it's pretty fantastic that VOGUE France will dedicate its May covers with celebrities like Meryl Streep, Penelope Cruz, Julianne Moore and Kate Winslet wearing Emporio Armani (PRODUCT) RED eyewear and the special T-shirts. What an amazing way to be help a more than worthy cause and get that celebrity fashion look too!
