Jennifer Lawrence takes a break from androgyny for her newest Dior campaign, this time for the Be Dior handbag, photographed by Paolo Roversi. On Thursday, Dior will be releasing an accompanying clip of the A-list actress, who has been the face of the brand since 2013. Stay tuned for that. {WWD}

After unconfirmed reports surfaced last week that Karlie Kloss would be clipping her Victoria's Secret Angel wings, the lingerie giant confirmed Monday that Kloss has indeed decided to leave at the end of her contract to focus on other commitments. "Karlie Kloss will always be an angel to me," reads an Instagram caption by Ed Razek, chief marketing officer of Creative Services of Limited Brands, Victoria Secret's parent. {Instagram via People}

In case you missed it, Tom Ford put on a pretty mesmerizing fashion show (complete with falling "snow" petals) just days before the Oscars. See what the designer has to say about thinking globally and choosing L.A. as the location of his fall 2015 runway show in this short film by Fabien Constant. {CR Fashion Book}

Icelandic star Björk looks effortlessly cool for the spring/summer 2015 cover of The Gentlewoman. While she may not be wearing her beloved swan dress, we're happy to report that she's sporting a rather fabulous plexiglass and sequin hat by Stephen Jones for Emanuel Ungaro in the editorial. {The Gentlewoman}

Despite some standout collections, certain retailers and buyers were left feeling a bit disappointed by New York Fashion Week. Ken Downing, senior vice president and creative director of Neiman Marcus, wanted to see more cohesion on the runways, while Beth Buccini, cofounder of Kirna Zabête, expressed a desire for American designers to "work a little harder to find their own voice." {WWD}

Across the pond, the British Fashion Council and British Council handed out honors to the emerging designers and cultural institutes who showed as part of the International Fashion Showcase this weekend. The award for Best Designer went to Finland-born, Columbia-raised Julia Mannisto, while the award for Best Exhibition went to Columbia. {WWD}
