Project Accessory Winner Brian Burkhardt’s Kenneth Cole Collection

Feb 29, 2012 @ 2:25 pm

Project Accessory winner Brian Burkhardt is still basking in the delight of his first season triumph. Not only did he take home the $100,000 grand prize to put towards his own line, he also got to design a four-piece capsule collection for Kenneth Cole, now in stores. “I feel very honored to have this opportunity,” Burkhardt told us at the collaboration’s launch party in New York City. The chance arose after Burkhardt won the sixth episode challenge with the unicorn clutch, shown, and bolero necklace—and then he added two more pieces after the season wrapped. “He took his own path,” Cole said of why Burkhardt rose to the top. Check out the entire collection in the gallery, and shop it on kennethcole.com100% of net profits will be donated to AWEARNESS, The Kenneth Cole Foundation, in support of amfAR.

Get the Look: Emily VanCamp’s Perfect Bronze Skin

Feb 29, 2012 @ 11:50 am

Revenge star Emily VanCamp hit the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party this weekend with a summery glow, and we just had to find out how she got her complexion so bright. “Emily was going for a very feminine look, and I wanted to reflect that with her youthful makeup and tanned skin,” her makeup artist Rosie Johnston told InStyle.com exclusively. To achieve the bronzed look, Johnston mixed Giorgio Armani’s Fluid Sheer in #3 ($59 at giorgioarmanibeauty-usa.com) with foundation, then finished the look with a sweep of Bare Escentuals Warmth ($19 at bareescentuals.com), a matte powder bronzer. ”I wanted to create a natural, healthy-looking glow—not a blinged-out finish,” she said. Great tips for the pre-spring season! Catch a new episode of Revenge tonight at 10/9c on ABC.

Feb 29, 2012 @ 10:55 am

Now this is a perk of being Diane KrugerChanel customized a couture look just for her! The actress wore a dress from the label’s fall 2011 couture collection to the Chanel and Charles Finch Pre-Oscar Dinner in Hollywood last weekend, a look that had been significantly updated from its debut on the Paris runway. “They took off the sleeves that it was shown with and they made it strapless,” Kruger told InStyle.com of the alterations, courtesy of Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld. For an extra touch of luxury, the label sewed thee 18-karat white gold and diamond star-shaped earrings from its fine jewelry collection to the top of the dress. As for how Kruger got such a great insider bonus? “This was just a dinner, so I would never ask them to make me a dress, but Karl is a good friend, so he’s made dresses just for me,” she said. How fabulously lucky.
