Donna Karan PR Calls Out Ungaro for Showing a Similar-Looking Gown

Donna Karan PR Calls Out Ungaro for Showing a Similar-Looking Gown:

It's not uncommon for us to have at least one déjà vu moment on the runways each season — fashion is cyclical, after all. But, sometimes the "inspiration" one designer gets from another is particularly blatant, as was the case at the Emanuel Ungaro show on Monday in Paris.

As the collection walked, the Wall Street Journal's Christina Binkley tweeted a cryptic comment about the above red silk dress, to which DKNY PR Girl -- a.k.a. Aliza Licht, senior vice president of global communications at Donna Karan -- immediately responded with the below:

Indeed, the dress -- which features a deep V neckline, cape-like sleeves that hang from the shoulders and an up-to-there slit -- very closely recalls the red gown that Karlie Kloss wore during the Donna Karan New York fall 2014 show (which, if you're so inclined, you can buy right now on Shopbop for $3,595). This isn't the first time we've done a runway double take this season: At Balmain's spring 2015 show, Olivier Rousteing presented a white suit that was nearly identical in cut to one of Alexander McQueen's creations for Givenchy Couture in 1997.

Do you think DKNY was justified in calling out the French house, or is this merely a sartorial coincidence?

Amal Alamuddin got married to George Clooney in a creme-colored Stella McCartney trouser suit on Monday. This could be one of the most iconic pantsuit wedding outfits since Bianca Jagger. {T Magazine}

John Galliano has told the world to get ready for a comeback... but where? A spokesperson for Galliano says the former Dior creative director is in talks with multiple brands for a job, but the New York Post hears that he's already committed to Maison Martin Margiela. We'll have to see whether Margiela -- or any other brand -- can overcome his tarnished name and past. {The New York Post}

Kevin Systrom, co-founder and chief executive officer of Instagram, has joined the board of directors at Walmart. We can't wait to see what blenders and hula hoops looks like through the Amaro filter. {WWD}

Macy's plans on hiring 86,000 workers for the holiday season, including jobs in customer service, delivery and events. So, if you're looking for a little extra cash around the holidays... {WWD}

Sonia Rykiel's Show Was a Who's Who of Celebrity Offspring Models

Before Fashion Month began, we explored the fastest-growing trend in the modeling world: celebrity children taking over the runways. At the Sonia Rykiel spring 2015 show on Monday, not only were we smitten with Artistic Director Julie de Libran's quintessentially French collection — white fringed, tweed jackets, sailor stripes in red and blue, relaxed nautical trousers — we were very impressed by the casting, which not only included supermodels like Miranda Kerr and Joan Smalls, but also an astonishing number of the aforementioned celeb offspring-turned-models.

The show opened with two Jagger sisters, Georgia May and Elizabeth, followed by fellow high-profile girls Hailey Baldwin, Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid and fashion royalty Edie Campbell. Finally, Ella Richards — who is the granddaughter of the Rolling Stone's Keith Richards — made an appearance on the runway as well. Not a bad turnout for De Libran's first outing at Rykiel.

Hedi Slimane Plays Mix Master at Saint Laurent

It may have been a #family affair at Sunday night's Givenchy show, but Hedi Slimane's "people" were also out in full force the next evening at Saint Laurent. Lenny Kravitz, Pete Doherty and Miles Kane were just three of the 20 musicians listed on the attendance sheet. (Other celebrity guests included Catherine Deneuve, Salma Hayek Pinault and Daisy Lowe.)

Slimane not only designed the clothes, but also the set. (He was also listed as the show's stylist.) This season, Slimane looked at the work of the late artist Robert Heinecken, who used his photographs in lithography, collage, as well as painting and sculpture. (He called himself a "para" photographer.) The influence could be felt in Slimane's mix of fabrics, colors and prints. A leopard print blouse, for example, was paired with a green leather jacket and sequined mini, while a red floral mini dress went with a satin-pocket camo jacket and studded belt. Slimane diehards will swoon over straight-up looks, but the rest will covet individual pieces, like a daisy-printed mini or black-and-red polka dot scarf.

It was boho meets military for Sacai’s spring 2015 collection. Creative director Chitose Abe marched out a collection of reinterpreted army and navy motifs, giving them a contemporary fashion flare. An olive green double-breasted blazer got chevrons on the sleeve, while an army dress was decorated with navy lace and ruffles. Billowy, floral print dresses dominated, as did pinstripes on a number of looks, like a long dress with a lace-up top. Abe’s ability to mix contradictions resulted in a beautiful, interesting and well-thought-out collection from the ever-compelling Japanese label. -- Ann Binlot

Jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez's surrealist world is expanding. This season, she worked with platinum for the first time. At her presentation at a gallery in the Marais, the designer displayed her swirling diamond rings on robotic hands that were mounted on mirrored tables. Ever the show woman, Delettrez configured the contraptions as puppets so that guests could make the hands move themselves. "The game is becoming more serious, so I wanted it to have a playful side," she said. This collection was also the first time Delettrez designed an articulated -- i.e. moveable -- ring. "It's fluid and almost organic, in contrast to the robot and cyborg inspiration," she said. Indeed, there was nothing stiff about this new work. -- Lauren Sherman
