Carla Bruni Adds Repetto to her Repertoire
By Whitney Spaner
The hot topic in Paris last week was President Sarkozy's recent wedding to the former model turned smoky-voiced chanteuse Carla Bruni. Most people seemed to think the shot-gun wedding was silly and Sarkozy's popularity seems to have suffered for it. Carla however is continuing to create with a specially designed shoe for Bridget Bardot's favorite ballet-inspired shoe company Repetto's 60th anniversary. Here is the picture of her shoe from the halls of the Parisian department store Printemps -- notice how her tag says "Carla Bruni - Artist." Really? Artist? After over two decades in the spotlight for various activities, including dating Mick Jagger while he was still married to Jerry Hall I think she could have picked a different title than artist. Perhaps now First Lady would have been better suited?

About Last Night... The Repetto 60th Anniversary Exhibition
By Caroline Torem Craig
The dainty shoes were the stars of the evening last night at the Max Lang Gallery for the Repetto 60th Anniversary Exhibition. Also in attendance was the perfect, immaculately groomed and polite Jessica Stam along with socialite types Leven Rambin, Kristian Laliberte, Genevieve Jones, Kate Schelter, designers Thom Browne, Charlotte Ronson and artists Karen Kilimnik and Tobias Wong. But back to the shoes: Proenza Schouler’s Molten Gold, Brigitte Bardot’s sexy red-checkered flats, Matt Creed’s open-toe cuties, Tobias Wong’s liquid 18Ks, Vanessa Paradis’ pair that read, sweetly, "Happy Birthday / Joyeux Anniversaire Repetto!" and Vanessa Beecroft's bloody beauties.
