Simply put, the Dior Karenina bag looks amazing. From John Galliano‘s fall collection, the Karenina comes in a range of material, from aged leather to crocodile skin in petrol blue, cream and black, fox fur in grey and blonde.

We think the white crocodile skin inspired by Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” is very aristoractic and lah-dee-dah indeed.

Seems like a hot favourite with lots of bloggers as they are talking about it here, here and here.

It was a hot, balmy night last Thursday when Innee sent Cara G, Chrissie Chau and 6 scantily clad beauties out in designer lingerie to pose and preen for the press, guests, the usual celebutants and fashionistas.

We were quite impressed with the range of lingerie shown from John Galliano, Kenzo, Cacharel, Chantal Thomass, Rosy, Rosapois and Valery. We suppose however, that the boys in the crowd were equally impressed with how great it looked on the girls.

And oh yes, we have more photos below:
