Hilary Alexander of The Telegraph once called New Delhi-based designer Manish Arora "the John Galliano of India." Known for his bolds psychedelic color palettes and contemporary portrayal of traditional Indian embroidery, beading, and appliqué, Arora consistently goes against the sartorial grain by developing new ways to rock a familiar trend. Case in point: the designer's latest collaboration with French denim brand, Notify.

Today, British fashion label Fred Perry unveiled the final range of their collaboration with the late Amy Winehouse. As expected, the SS12 collection offers a heavy dose of Americana, and is filled with '50s-inspired tops, bottoms, dresses, and accessories. In addition to pieces embroidered with the brand's signature laurel wreath (Winehouse was a major fan of their silk knit shirts in this style), the line also features a jukebox-themed print with a cartoon version of the singer.

And while most of the soirées we attened were on our must list, there were definitely a few unexpected stops along the way. Read on for the highlights.

While this year's Design Miami was certainly all about Fendi, I did take some time to walk the show and see what the rest of the fair had to offer. Amidst sights like Beth Katlemen's 3D porcelain rendering of traditional toile wallpaper and Astrid Krogh's fiber-optic light monitor, Didier Ltd's booth of historical jewelry brought a fascinating fashion aspect to the scene. In other words, these vintage jewels were off the hook.

America's longest-running fashion magazine, Harper's Bazaar, has just released a new tome to salute a decade's worth of iconic fashion under the helm of editor-in-chief Glenda Bailey and creative director Stephan Gan. Entitled Harper's Bazaar: Greatest Hits, the work features 300 striking images from the 2001 to 2011 issues, linked with commentary on the pivotal pop culture moments that inspired them. To toast the book, Bailey sat down with us to discuss some of her favorite Bazaar moments, which include Karl Lagerfeld as a rapper and Marc Jacobs as a Simpsons character, and which film director she's dying to feature next.

Friend of BlackBook, Rad Hourani, is known for designing insanely inventive looks for his unisex RTW collections. But what people may not know about the avant-garde fashion hero is that he's also a legitimate photographer and shoots many of his own lookbooks. Aware of his many talents, V magazine recently tapped Hourani to capture the famous faces (and legs) of the One Management modeling agency, which includes appearances by Jade Jackson, Kirsten Owen, and Selita Ebanks.

Unless you have $999 to drop on eBay, the now-infamous Isabel Marant Bekket high-top suede sneakers that Beyonce wore in her "Love on Top" video are pretty much sold out everywhere. And while we can all say sayonara to our hopes of ever owning that particular style (knock-offs don't count), we've just discovered a new style of the French fashion designer's kicks that are available for purchase, in a variety of sizes, right now.

If you haven't heard, Grand St. Bakery is a sweet little vintage clothing and furniture store in Williamsburg, and our latest obsession. While the store name may be deceiving (owner Neal Mello, a former buyer for What Goes Around Comes Around, kept the name of the 25-year-old bake shop that formerly occupied the space), this Grand St. Bakery serves up equally delectable retail to feed the stylish masses. Their latest treat comes by way of jewelry line Lady Grey and wine haunt The Saint Austere.
