Filed under: Apparel, Jewelry, Events, Celebrity Shopping

When we saw Jeremy Scott's witty sequined "Admit One" movie ticket dress at Mercedes-Benz NYC Fashion Week, we had to wonder who might wear it. The answer is newly-married pop goddess Katy Perry who showed up on the red carpet in the dress at the 2010 MTV European Music Awards with husband Russell Brand. She accessorized the dress with Baccarat "Rock" Stud earrings in Ruby ($375); a Le Vian 18K Strawberry Gold Diamond Bracelet, ($23,947.50); and Le Vian 18K White Gold Diamond Bracelet ($12,097.50) as well as her new thick gold and diamond wedding band. Her second look for the night is after the jump.

The Fashion Statement: Little Rain Coats

Today's April Fools and so, logically, begins The Penis Festival, a traditional celebration of fertility in Japan where people pay tribute to all things phallic. Tonight, Chef Tadashi Ono at NYC's Matsuri restaurant is offering a one-night-only Penis Matsuri dinner after which guests will be given a complimentary Jeremy Scott for Proper Attire condoms.

You may be wondering what all this has to do with fashion. Plenty, according to Lady Gaga. "It's not complicated, just a fashion statement," said the pop star recently about her collaboration with the designer (pictured above). "Everybody wrap it up with Jeremy Scott for Proper Attire condoms," she added. The condoms come ribbed, sheer and dotted.

Scott is not the first designer to revamp little rain coats. In 2008, Marc Jacobs unveiled a line of MJ blue condoms with a little note that read "Remember, safety first! XXOO, Marc Jacobs."

Jeremy Scott goes Deco on the SS Normandie

Avant-garde designer Jeremy Scott is no stranger to collaboration, having teamed up with designers including Christian Louboutin, Longchamp, and Adidas. In spite of all these amazing partnerships, we're most excited for his upcoming work with a ship, or the original 1930s floating palace rather. Scott has designed a limited edition T-shirt to celebrate the upcoming revival of the SS Normandie, the original 1930s floating palace, through a new show entitled DECODENCE at Manhattan's South Street Seaport Museum. As both the Art Deco movement and Jeremy Scott's revoutionary fashion line are defined by ornate motifs and structural geometry, it's easy to see why the transatlantic designer was first approached to participate in the show. Both the movement and the designer embody the spirit of living glamor.

On his soon-to-be iconic design, Scott told Luxist: "I just tried to imagine getting a peek at one of the glamorous passengers as she was off to dinner. She stopped to look out one of the portholes to catch a final glimpse of Manhattan as the Normandie set sail." The shirt is set to become the perfect accessory this season, whether you're on a ship or not, it's just in time as a slew of naval-inspired collections make their way down the runway. "As for Art Deco," says Scott, "I've always loved the lines, the modernity, and the sensuality. Art Deco has a playful yet over the top quality, which I have a definite kinship with!"

In the same spirit of exaggerated playfulness, the king of Art Deco jewelry, Lalique has designed a special edition Cabochon ring just for the occasion. The handcrafted glass ring is one of the most stunning examples of modern jewelry we've come across, remarkable for its smooth contours and opulent hues. Originally designed in 1931, the updated ring is as classy and fun as ever. Available in three colors for the show, Cap Ferrat, Sapphire, and Rouge l'or, the limited edition series is marked with a special commemorative engraving.

The Classicist: The Luxurious House of Longchamp

These days the celebrated French leathergoods company Longchamp is best known for its super-stylish handbags as seen in ad campaigns starring Kate Moss (above). Most people are unaware however that the company, which dates back to 1948, started off selling luxurious leather-covered pipes to Paris' bon ton. The rich heritage of the firm is celebrated in Longchamp, a gorgeous new illustrated history from Abrams by Marie-Claire Aucouturier with photographs by Philippe Carcia, published in celebration of the company's 60th anniversary.

Beginning with the deluxe pipes, which became a favorite of Elvis Presley (pictured smoking one in the book), the company built a brand as a bridge between the very social equestrian world and the world of luxury travel. Named after Paris' famed Longchamp racecourse where Napoleon III presided over the Royal Enclosure, the company adopted a horse and rider as its logo. The pipes were soon followed by cigarette cases and other leather accessories for smokers, then expansion into small leather goods in the 1950s, followed by the opening of the first Longchamp boutiques in the 1970s and '80s.

The first in a line of luxurious luggage soon followed. Longchamp thrived where many firms failed by catching on early to the importance of the Asian market. In the early 1970s, Philippe Cassegrain, Longchamp's founder, designed a line of bags called "LM," destined for the Japanese market, recently re-released for the anniversary. Its success gave Longchamp a solid reputation as a creator of women's handbags and enabled the company to expand further. In 1993 Cassegrain introduced the Le Pliage collection of foldable travel bags made of colorful vinyl with luxurious leather trim, an instant smash; two billion of them have been sold since.

Designer Jeremy Scott took an angular, vintage framed pair of sunglasses and updated them for a new, funky look. The Signature Sunglasses were done for Linda Farrow Vintage as part of the summer 2006 collection. The shield-like one-piece frames have a medium tint and the arms of the glasses each feature the designer's signature. Using a relatively thin metal for the arms allows the glasses to take the same shape as other popular wide-armed glasses, without the loss of visibility that can result. Available from Colette. Price: €225.

This Is Not Your Bag Luggage

No matter how long the lines at security are, how many hours your flight is delayed, or even having an unruly 4-year-old seated next to you on the plane, there is nothing worse than lost or misplaced luggage when it comes to traveling. Since so many bags look alike - large, black and boxy - it is small wonder that most people actually manage to pick up the correct bags at the baggage claim. With a bag from the This Is Not Your Bag Luggage collection from Jeremy Scott, you'll never have to worry about someone mistaking your bags for their own. The fabric bags were inspired by the look of wooden shipping crates, with one side labeled "Fragile" and the other as "This Is Not Your Bag." The bag is available at Longchamp's NY (212-343-7444). It is $260 for a laptop case, $675 for a medium duffel and $950 for a large.
