Morning Hemlines: Viktor & Rolf, Retail Sales, FitFlops, Jacques Kaplan and Beatrix Ong

Is there anything Deisel's Renzo Rosso doesn't own a piece of? Count Viktor & Rolf in. (WWD)

The good news? Retail sales were up last week with the selling of summer shorts and swim suits. The bad news? Back-to-school and fall clothes are on their way. (Bloomberg)

A pair of flip-flops that provide a workout? I own them, but I don't buy it. (NY Sun)

The late Jacques Kaplan painted furs long before PETA thought of it. (NY Times)

Shoes, wonderful shoes. Beatrix Ong's luxe line will be expanded through a partner ship with British Fashion Council chairman Harold Tillman. (Vogue.co.uk)
