Gladwyne-raised Jenna Leigh Blatstein, the designer-daughter of local real estate developer Bart Blatstein, is set to open her first stand-alone boutique at Revel resort and casino in Atlantic City this summer.

This sea of stilettos just turned sour. A French court rejected Christian Louboutin's trademark-infringement claim against high-street retailer Zara.

The luxury showmaker originally sued Zara in 2011, with claims that the Spanish retailer's £40 red-soled, peep toed, slingback shoes not only infringed upon its trademark, but was remarkably similar to the Louboutin Yo-Yo shoe. The exact wording in the suit was "counterfeiting and unfair competition" according to WWD. Initially, the court sided with Louboutin, but a dissatisfied Zara filed an appeal.

Believe it or not, we're counting down the days until football season officially kicks off. And we're not the only girls well-acquainted with the industry to say it, loud and proud.

In an attempt to target its high-fashion-adoring demographic, the NFL has tapped Marchesa's Georgina Chapman to design a limited-edition shirt for the league. According to WWD, the item is set to debut September 5 for the Giants-Cowboys opener, and should be an interesting reveal, considering Marchesa's reputation as an award season staple on the red carpet.  Now how exactly did the NFL manage to pull this one off?
