There are collections, and then there are collections. For Resort 2013, a few designers, including Salvatore Ferragamo and Stella McCartney, brought their A-game when unveiling theirs. From a lavish event at the Louvre, to a carnival-inspired festival in the East Village, the latest Resort collections show up even some of the most extravagant shows from Fall and Spring.
Ferragamo tweeted a picture of its star-studded crowd, which included "Freida Pinto, @itsmeleighton, and Hilary Swank," three starlets that "lined the front row in the esteemed halls of the #SFLouvre."
Karolina Kurkova who modeled the collection tweeted, "In Salvatore Ferragamo Resort 2013 show http://bit.ly/KGEyVY." That was one of the longest runways ever!
Vogue recapped the show via Twitter: "Works of Art: @karolinakurkova @itsmeleighton, @1JessicaHart, and more celebrate @Ferragamo resort at the @MuseeLouvre."
StyleCaster added via a tweet, "Salvatore Ferragamo Brings High Fashion To The Louvre."

The Panoptikum Museum in Hamburg, Germany unveiled a spot-on wax sculpture of Karl Lagerfeld. The wax museum, which is located in the designer's hometown, released a statement along with the wax figure proclaiming that it took artist Saskia Ruth a year to create the figure.
People.com tweeted a picture of Karl along with his wax figure asking its readers, "Can you tell the real Karl Lagerfeld from his wax figure?" I definitely can't. Can you?
Fashionista added, "Karl Lagerfeld has finally been immortalized—so long as he stays away from any open flames and/or direct sunlight."
Fashionologie followed up with one of the most important questions to date, "Karl Lagerfeld has been honored with a wax sculpture. Will @ChoupettesDiary get one next?" One can only hope.
