There are a few costume pieces from film history that fashion lovers, like myself, seriously covet -- Audrey Hepburn's black dress from Breakfast at Tiffany's, Dorothy's ruby slippers, and The Flying Nun's habit (I kid). To commemorate the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, Warner Bros. has partnered with Swarovski and 19 famous faces in fashion to create their own versions of Dorothy's iconic ruby slippers. Be still my beating heart!
For the next three nights, the cyber-Gods over at Google are hosting an art event in New York's Meatpacking District to celebrate their new iGoogle application. Google commissioned over 70 artists—Jeff Koons, Philippe Starck, and Diane Von Furstenberg among them—to design their own unique iGoogle themes, which will be presented "in a very unique way" throughout the Gansevoort Plaza. (We tried to Google what "unique" really means in relation to the Google event, but our computer had a stroke.) The installation gets underway tonight at 8-ish p.m.

Walk a mile in Diane von Furstenberg’s shoes. No, really. Try them on for size. It was just a matter of time before the consummate designer put her sole into footwear. Of this latest venture—and her decision to scrap the red Christian Louboutin treads on the catwalk—she explains, “My shoes are not just pretty accessories. Women on the go need shoes they can walk blocks in, that take them from day to night. They need power, comfort, and fashion.” Inspired by what she calls “comfy chic,” the collection runs the gamut from strappy heels to flat sandals (ranging from $195 to $400 per pair).
