Dating back to 1969 and written by American author Eric Carle, the book tells the story of a famished caterpillar who eats all kinds of food before turning into a butterfly. The same image is also on Dior\u2019s Book Tote, one of the label\u2019s signature bags, as part of a series celebrating famous works of literature ranging from Dracula by Bram Stoker to In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.<\/p>\n<p>Emmanuelle Khanh<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Tracee Ellis Ross x Emmanuelle Khanh eyewear.

It made sense, then, for Ross and the label to partner for a range featuring oversized, colourful frames. Made in France, the glasses combine French flair with Ross\u2019 maximalist approach to fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Erdem<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From couture-meets-sportswear at Balenciaga to literary-inspired accessories at Dior, this season\u2019s fashion offerings are a blend of nostalgia&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12704],"tags":[5702,4373,3551,14043,14046,14044,5,14049,2773,4955,14045,335,14047,14048,14042,14050],"class_list":["post-18506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-louis-vuitton","tag-balenciaga","tag-bram-stoker","tag-dior","tag-dracula","tag-emmanuelle-khanh","tag-erdem","tag-france","tag-jil-sander","tag-louis-vuitton","tag-lvmh","tag-manolo-blahnik","tag-milan","tag-net-a-porter","tag-onitsuka-tiger","tag-puma","tag-versace"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
