ANN TAKES SEOUL: After Hong Kong and Tokyo, Ann Demeulemeester is planning to open a shop in Seoul. The Belgian designer said she would open a 3,500-square-foot boutique in the South Korean capital this September. "We're building the entire building," she said. Demeulemeester also has a shop in her hometown of Antwerp, Belgium.

HAVE BUBBLY, WILL TRAVEL: Alice Temperley has an affinity for Champagne. The British designer has teamed up for the second time with Moët & Chandon to create a limited edition accessory. Last year she collaborated on a tiara, and this time around Temperley drew inspiration from old Louis Vuitton steamer trunks to create a canvas tote with black leather trim and gold accents. The tote, of course, comes with a special bag to carry a bottle of Moët. The bag will retail for $1,599 at select specialty stores and Temperley London boutiques in New York and Los Angeles starting this fall.
