IMG Fashion has announced plans to outsource production of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York and Miami. The bulk of the catwalk-producing duties will go to Laurie DeJong and her firm, LDJ Productions. The partnership between IMG and LDJ began in 2002, when DeJong lent services, such as managing venues and producing shows during fashion weeks in New York, Los Angeles and Miami.

Another juicy must-read you may have missed during the flurry of NYFW shows, darlings.

(PARIS) Louis Vuitton
The latest LV looks for the hommes designed by Kim Jones are all about adapting to the lifestyle of a well versed globe trotter. Right away it becomes obvious from look une that this Vuitton man is armed and ready…for train travel. The telltale sign? A leather checkerboard satchel, playfully styled with a printed suit and a casual red bandana in lieu of a standard tie. A pair of plaid short-shorts are ready for a summertime hike in the Alps, complemented by a clashing polo and a leather backpack that will hopefully be equipped with snacks for the trail. The only wares adequate for a trek through a Venezuelan jungle, apparently? Dark blue cargo pants cuffed at the ankle and fastened with a rather serious belt.

For a petit vacance in Paris, a denim-hued suede jacket will provide warmth during the coolest Spring morning. What does one wear to a five-star French feast? One of the many variations of tuxedos will certainly suffice, but there are simply so many choices! Perhaps the shimmering silver jacket and slightly goofy black bowtie will do the trick, or maybe a simple black-on-black tux is just right. No matter the choice, those glistening silver dress shoes definitely need to be in the mix, non?

Aw alert! THEIA designer Don O’Neill celebrated 20 years with his partner, Pascal, by jetting down to Miami and popping the question. Here’s the play-by-play… “South Beach, Miami. It’s the morning of Sunday, April 28th, our 20th anniversary. I woke up all a flutter. Today I was going to propose to Pascal. Everything was planned. The airplane banner would fly over South Beach between 10:15 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. The photographer due to nonchalantly pretend to be a sun bather next to us was arriving at 10 a.m. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach.

It’s been ages since we’ve posted an e-mail that amused us so that we had to share with our dear readers. (This is not for lack of receiving these types of correspondence!) One publicist caught our attention with this little diddy to be filed in the “thanks, but no thanks” section of our InBox. “Kim Kardashian recently revealed her love of Vampire Facelifts and/or Facials on a recent episode of “Kourtney and Kim take Miami.”

Bruce Weber shot Kim Kardashian at his Miami home for the Spring issue of DuJour mag. (Say what you will about KK, but she looks glorious on this cover.)
