Clippings: Everyone's Still Buying Shoes Edition
Bergdorf Goodman

- What's the one clothing item that shoppers simply refuse to stop spending on? We could have guessed: Shoes. [NY Times]

- Behold, the Louis Vuitton First Aid Kit! While we doubt any nurse could actually afford it, the inspiration was noble: Celebrating the Red Cross's 150th anniversary. [Grazia]

- 33-year-old Megha Mittal beat out the founder of Escada's son to buy the luxury fashion house for an undisclosed sum yesterday. [Reuters]

- Proving that nothing can stop Hermes, sales for the luxury retailer rose 10.2 percent this quarter. [WWD]

- Paging Target! Carolina Herrera is NOT above doing a clothing line with you! (Ask now, before Kohl's or H&M does.) [The Cut]

          Laurel Pinson, fashion editor

          Laurel has worked at Vogue, Stylelist, and Lucky, devours style news, has a dangerous addiction to platforms, and won't back down in a sample sale fight.

          Kelly O'Reilly, contributor

          Kelly is a reformed sorority girl, aspiring yogini and closet magazine junkie, who also might be the only writer in New York who prefers Manhattan over Brooklyn.

          Catherine Blair Pfander, contributor

          Blair is a Brooklyn-based writer, eBay scavenger, and apple pie baker who'd rather be on two wheels in stilettos than stuck in a taxi -- unless the cabbie's listening to Prince.

          Kendall Herbst, contributor

          Formerly at Lucky and NYMag.com, Kendall lives in stripes, loves anything backless, and wakes up most mornings thinking about Betty Draper's closet.
