Christina Ricci for SAMSONITE

Christina Ricci has a passion for vintage. “I view fashion as art,” said the pint-sized actress, who co-hosted the launch party for Samsonite’s Fashionaire collection at the Gramercy Park Hotel on Thursday night. “Wearing Madame Gres is like wearing a museum piece.”

OKAY THEN, how pretentious can one quote be? Christina will be appearing in the PR campaign for the vintage inspired line, hopefully we won't have to see her nipples again...

Did everyone hear that Hedi Slimmane has jumped the boat at Dior Homme to pursue other avenues (womenswear perhaps?)
