You might have already caught jewelry designer Dalila Barkache (and her exquisite taste in clothes) in Style.com’s Summer Shopping Guide this week, along with the likes of Inez van Lamsweerde, Phoebe and Annette Stephens of Anndra Neen, and music producer Caroline de Maigret. Since launching her line during Paris fashion week in October 2011, when she didn’t even have a showroom yet, the Paris and Tunis-based designer has been making a name for herself with her eponymous line and its best sellers, like her gold and diamond engagement ring sets. “I always wanted to do something distinctive—my first thought was being a perfumer but the school was too expensive,” she tells Style.com

The fashion set has seen its fair share of tropical prints following last summer, when Stella McCartney showed her Hawaiian-infused Resort collection with its colorful palm trees and deck chair stripes. Since then, it seems that almost every designer has caught McCartney’s case of jungle fever—see Joseph Altuzarra’s Spring 2012 show (where the models sauntered through an actual jungle) and Riccardo Tisci’s killer pre-fall looks at Givenchy

Kanye’s at Cannes (Kim Kardashian in tow, naturally), and he’s not going to let the film set steal the limelight. Therapper-slash-designer is debuting his own movie (which he wrote, produced, and directed), entitled Cruel Summer , tonight at Le Palm Beach Casino.

Yesterday, amid the many other films at Cannes was a notable short: Roman Polanski’s newmini-film for Prada, A Therapy . The diagnosis of this particular therapy session, between Helena Bonham Carter (dressed elegantly in a red Prada pencil skirt and purple button-up) and her Central Park psychiatrist (played by Ben Kingsley): Prada suits everyone. While Carter describes her bad dream at length, Kingsley’s attention is stolen by his patient’s striking purple fur coat, to the point where he can’t take his eyes off it and tries it on

“Sitting around the table and telling each other stories, making jokes and laughing,” Ricky Lauren (pictured) tells Style.com. “Those are the fondest memories I have of our summers in the Hamptons and of meals we’ve shared there together.” For her latest book, Ricky Lauren The Hamptons Food, Family and History , Ralph Lauren’s other half has invited the world in on those cherished, private moments at their homes in the Hamptons

It had all the fixings of a standard fashion show—front-row fixtures like Michael Stipe and Jen Brill, makeup by James Kaliardos for MAC, hair by Bumble and Bumble, and in-demand models from agencies like IMG and Ford, but K8 Hardy ’s Untitled Runway Show at the Whitney Museum on Sunday was anything but typical. The multimedia performance artist, known best for her cult zine FashionFashion , put together a collection of over 30 looks as part of her exhibition for the 2012 Biennial
