Princess Beatrice Preps for a Subdued Wedding at St. James’s Palace

GOIN’ TO THE CHAPEL: Princess Beatrice is going to the chapel — The Chapel Royal in London — and she’s going to get married, on May 29.
Buckingham Palace said Friday that HRH Princess Beatrice of York and her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi will wed on the last Friday in May. The couple was engaged in Italy last September.
The wedding will take place in The Chapel Royal in St. James’s Palace, with a private reception to follow, hosted by Queen Elizabeth II, in the gardens of Buckingham Palace.
Buckingham Palace described the wedding venue as a “busy, working chapel,” that holds royal events and regular services that are open to the general public. St. James’s Palace, built by King Henry VIII in the 16th century, sits halfway between Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly, near Green Park and St. James’s Park.
Royal weddings that have taken place in the chapel include that of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg on Feb. 10, 1840. Prince Louis, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s youngest son, was christened there in 2018.
In 1893, the queen’s grandparents King George V and Queen Mary were married in the chapel.
It looks to be a lower-key affair than the wedding of Beatrice’s sister

Didier Grumbach Was Right There When Ready-to-Wear Was Born

A key figure in French fashion’s transformation from couture to ready-to-wear — and in making Paris an undisputed style capital — Didier Grumbach is a walking encyclopedia of fashion history.
And in “Mémoires de Mode,” his second book, he recounts his extraordinary career, whose highlights include manufacturing Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche rtw, backing and running Thierry Mugler’s fashion house for two decades and a storied 16-year tenure as president of French fashion’s top organizing body.
Grumbach confesses he battled to write in the first person, but the point of the new tome is a more personal take on an industry he loves, for it straddles creativity and industry.
“Within the pages are things nobody knows or everyone forgot,” he observes dryly.
For example, while most people think rtw was an invention of the Sixties, it existed “much sooner than it is generally admitted,” he said, mentioning for example that Madame Grès produced rtw from 1957 to 1962, and that there are examples of rtw production in France as early as 1945.
The new book, published in French by Institut Française de la Mode and Éditions du Regard, is a slimmer, breezier volume than his sweeping, textbook-like “History of International Fashion,” originally published in 1993

Rachel Bilson Shares What’s at the Bottom of Her Handbag

Christian Siriano is all about appealing to the everywoman, and the designer’s taken that mentality one step further with his latest collaboration: a handbag inspired by Ziploc’s new product, reusable accessory bags.
The curious corporate linkup got a boost from Rachel Bilson, who sat front row at his show at Spring Studios Wednesday night along with Leslie Jones, Heidi Klum, Alicia Silverstone, Angela Sarafyan and Indya Moore. The actress prominently displayed the hot pink “Clutter Couture Bag,” which features an exterior inspired by the type of items that tend to accumulate over time and settle on the bottom of bags.
“I just think it’s so cool to give attention to what everyone goes through when their bag is just a clutter of so many things,” Bilson said. “And I love that he designed an art piece to coincide with what Ziploc’s doing with the accessories bag. And I think every woman could use a little organization help when it comes to things that go in their purse.”
And what items are likely to clutter the bottom of one of Bilson’s bags? “Well I always have my kid’s socks, change of underwear, snacks, things to play with — and then for me, gum and chapstick,”
