Carla Bruni Outdresses Everyone at a Classy French Fashion Party
Last night in Paris, Carla Bruni attended her first fashion event since becoming First Lady of France, the Sidaction AIDS benefit.

Kanye West Glows in the Dark
Apparently Rizzoli has a book in the works about Kanye West, tentatively scheduled for an October 2009 release. Kanye West: Glow in the Dark will chronicle Kanye’s journeys around the world as he tours and hits up fashion parties. Photographer Nabil Elderkin also captured him shopping in Asian malls. The book will come with a USB drive of previously unreleased music and will cost $50. A steal, really. The release party might coincide with Paris Fashion Week. So we guess New York Fashion Week isn’t good enough for him. Dash our dreams, why don’t you. [Fashion Week Daily]
