"It" Collection

Roberto Cavalli for H&M
H&M is going glam just in time for all those cocktail parties November brings – and they’ve called in the expert. Roberto Cavalli, best known for ultra-sexy, curve-hugging animal prints, launches his capsule collection for the masstige retailer on November 8. In true Cavalli style, the line includes lots of leopard and lavish gold as well as evening wear for guys.
Ads for the campaign were shot by fashion photographer Terry Richardson at Cavalli’s residence in Florence, Italy. They feature top models like Anouk Lepère and Canuck Jessica Stam as well as socialite muses Julia Restoin Roitfeld (the daughter of Paris Vogue’s Editrix-in-Chief), Lydia Hearst (publishing heiress-turned-model) and Theodora Richards (Rolling Stones’ Keith’s daughter). Even Cavalli himself (centre) makes a cameo.
In Canadian prices: Silk leopard-print wrap dress (on Anouk, back left), $149; Leopard-print corset top (on Astrid Munoz), $69.90; Silk zebra-print dress (on Julia), $119; gold halter dress (on Lydia), $349; Ruffle front sleeveless blouse and shorts (on Leigh Lezark), both $59.90; Tuxedo (on Cavalli), $349; Suit (On Nicolas Malleville), $299; gold sequin beaded dress (on Jessica), $299.

"It" Purse Accessory

Powdering your nose in public is so passé. For the holiday season, the "it" compact is filled not with pressed powder but with solid perfume.

Look for Gwen's L, L.A.M.B. Fragrance in a gold double "L" square compact and Sarah's covetable faceted flower compact.

"It" Product

T3 360 Boost
You've probably seen Orlando Pita's name in hundreds of fashion magazines. Of course, unless you follow celebrity hair stylists, the name may not ring a bell. But rest assured that most of the inspiring looks that come down the runway each season are created by Pita.
And now you can have him help with your hair on a daily basis. Check out his product line for T3, coming soon to Sephora stores. T3 makes salon-quality hair dryers and irons and has collaborated with Pita to create products of the same calibre. Boost is a dry-feeling serum that coats hair, protects it from your flat iron and keeps it straight for days so styling is almost as easy as if Pita made house calls.

"It" Inspiration

Britney's Breakdown
Tabloid princesses like Nicole Ritchie, Lilo and Britney have become muses for photographer Steven Meisel, who produced a rehab-themed fashion shoot for Italian Vogue. The issue, which hits stands this week, features models like Sasha Pivovarova, Agyness Deyn and Canuck, Tasha Tilberg sitting in group therapy, yelling and paparazzi and going bare, meaning both getting a crew cut and flashing unmentionable areas while exiting cars.
