Exclusive First Look: Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe and More In Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s

Apr/17/2013 at 06:00 PM ET

Any fashionista who has ever visited N.Y.C. knows that the amazing department store Bergdorf Goodman is must-visit landmark — up there with the Statue of Liberty!

And the store has inspired such loyalty in its high-wattage customers (from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen) that a book has been published — and an upcoming film has been produced — all about its fascinating history.

In an exclusive sneak peek video from Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf’s, we get a look at the store’s fashion director, Linda Fargo, who has become an iconic front-row presence at Fashion Week and who vets all the designers that come through the store.

In the clip above, stars like Rachel Zoe and Nicole Richie pay gushing tribute to Fargo as well as to the store, and remind us why shopping can be so much fun. Take a look, then be sure to check out all of the other huge fashion names who were interviewed for the documentary when it hits theaters May 3.

Tell us: Where’s your favorite place to shop? Are you excited to see the film?

Kate Moss Is The First to Wear Saint Laurent — Right Off the Runway

If fellow guests at Carine Roitfeld’s CR Fashion Book party in Paris Tuesday night were experiencing déja vu, that’s because Kate Moss arrived in a look from Hedi Slimane’s collection for Saint Laurent that they’d all seen walk down the runway just 24 hours before.

And predictably, the supermodel looked stunning in her own take on the sheer, sparkle-studded bodysuit, which she topped with a slim blazer and finished with stiletto booties and fresh, natural makeup. (Just a normal Tuesday night outfit for the rest of us — right?)

Moss didn’t quite break the record for runway-to-red carpet dressing (that would be three hours, seen on Nicole Kidman in L’Wren Scott several weeks ago), but a day is barely time to get a look dry-cleaned.

Still, we bet Slimane pulled some strings for his supermodel pal. Must be nice to have friends in high places!

Tell us: What do you think of Moss’s Saint Laurent interpretation? Which designer’s runway do you want to raid?

Jessica Chastain’s Sheer Paris Fashion Week Pants Leave Us (and Her Legs) Cold

Did Jessica Chastain intercept a package meant for Kim Kardashian? Or did she work extra-hard on her awards season physique, and so hates to let all those squats go to waste? There must be some explanation for the totally out-of-character pants, complete with thigh-baring sheer lace inserts, the star wore to the Givenchy show during Paris Fashion Week.

If we’d spotted these unusual trousers on, say, Rihanna, we wouldn’t have batted an eyelash. But on the classic beauty, whose last big red carpet moment was the extraordinarily elegant Giorgio Armani gown she wore to the Oscars, they were more than a little jarring.

Between her flat-ironed hair and her model stance, we have to assume this is an effort by the star to try more avant-garde fashion. And we certainly can’t argue with the fact that an inverted-V cutout at the crotch of one’s pants, inset with gold lace and displaying two-tone undershorts, is the very definition of avant-garde.

Tell us: What do you think of Jessica Chastain’s high-fashion look? Do you prefer her in more classic styles?
