On the heels of the success of the LEGO feature-film, LEGO has created this set of fashion-powerhouse figurines exclusively for Harper’s Bazaar. The toy fashion panel specifically includes the one, the only, Donatella Versace, as well as a trio of other industry icons: Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz, Marc Jacobs and Karl Lagerfeld.

The French duo behind Lanvin have introduced their latest boot based on outdoor-inspired looks. The Tall Hiking Boot is characterized by a rugged leather upper, a reinforced toe with textured snakeskin leather, a contrast heel and welded eyelets.

There’s also a hiking boot-looking high-top sneaker after the Jump, both styles sharing what head designer […]

You really can’t go wrong when Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz teams up with Swedish denim line Acne, as they continue to do for their 2010 Spring/Summer line.
