BRAVO, AMBRA! "Today art and design is all the craze," says Bruno Frisoni, creative director of Roger Vivier. "And Ambra Medda embodies perfectly this intersection of fashion, art and design—the creative trinity that always inspires me." This season, Roger Vivier tapped the Italian beauty to be the face of its Miss Viv' bag, and is celebrating the collaboration with a limited-edition Miss Viv' inspired by Medda's design website, L'ArcoBaleno. "I have such a deep respect for the creations of this historic maison," says Medda. "It always balances the highest quality and desirable luxury with intelligence, playfulness and joy." The degradé rainbow sequins bag, above, is available in select Roger Vivier stores in October. © THE BIG PICTURE BY ARTHUR ELGORT, PUBLISHED BY STEIDL/WWW.STEIDL.DE; BROOKLYN MUSEUM; SOFIA AND MAURO (MEDDA) Although Arthur Elgort has published several books, including the 1994 bestseller "Models Manual," which featured iconic photographs of models such as Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Cindy Crawford, "The Big Picture," out from Steidl this winter, is the first to encompass the entirety of his career. Known for his casual "snapshot" style of photography, the book spans four decades of Elgort's works from magazines such as Vogue, Life, and Rolling Stone and campaigns for Chanel, Valentino and Yves Saint Laurent, among many others. Manolos and Louboutins and Jimmy Choos, oh my! If there were a mecca for the shoe-obsessed, this would be it. "Killer Heels: The Art of the High-Heeled Shoe," is on view at the Brooklyn Museum through February 15 and features over 160 heels from iconic designers both past and present.
