Blasblog: Baby Love

Suri. Shiloh. Violet. Apple. Don’t be embarrassed—I love ‘em, too. I may not be ready for a kid of my own, but today’s baby craze—crazy as it is—has me totally enthralled. We see pictures of these kids all the time on blogs and in magazines; I get press releases about the designers they’re wearing; heck, [...]

Blasblog: A TEST In Online Magazines

Something in the water over at British Vogue? While features editor Aimee Farrell’s been hard at work launching the new biannual Twin, the mag’s art director, Jaime Perlman, has been putting together TEST, a side project of her own. “It’s an online portfolio that showcases the combined talents of a myriad of creatives, rather than [...]

Blasblog: Roberta’s New York Layover

“I love coming to New York,” Roberta Armani announced at Lauren Santo Domingo’s dinner in her honor at the Standard this weekend. “In fact, I’d like to move. Someone find me a good reason—a husband, perhaps—and I’ll set up here.” If it’s a sportsman she’s after, there were a few on hand at the de [...]

Blasblog: Giant Book, Giant Party

Miuccia Prada was in L.A. this weekend for MOCA’s anniversary, but she still found time to squeeze in her own party on Friday night. Mrs. Prada hosted a fête at her Rodeo Drive store for the recently published Prada encyclopedia, a hefty 708-page tome that charts the brand’s trajectory from its founding in the twenties [...]

Blasblog: The Caviar Countdown To DVF’s Russian Bash

I won’t lie: The notion of giving up Mariah Carey and the beaches of Rio, where I was for Fashion Rocks earlier this week, for the subzero temperatures of Moscow was a hard one to swallow. But not long after arriving here for the events surrounding Diane von Furstenberg’s exhibition opening, I found some things [...]

Blasblog: The It Crowd

I spend a lot of time in mixed company, but I can safely say that the crowd last night was the most diverse I’ve ever encountered. Everyone was there. To my left was Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis; to my right, China Chow and Amanda Brooks. Six rows down were Daphne Guinness and Steven [...]

Blasblog: Vezzoli On Gaga At MoCA

Lady Gaga has always maintained that her concerts are performance art. And so in her lace-veiled view, it’s entirely logical that she’d be performing at MoCA’s 30th anniversary gala on November 14 in a performance piece that’s a highly intriguing collaboration with the Bolshoi Ballet and artist Francesco Vezzoli. (It’s not Kanye, but I suppose [...]

Blasblog: Celebrating New York In Paris…I Think

There are at least two things I can count on in Paris: various fellow New Yorkers letting loose for fashion month’s last leg, and a late-night dance party at Regine’s. For the past few seasons, I’ve helped friends like Paul Sevigny, MisShapes Leigh Lezark and Geordon Nicol, and Tommy Saleh organize a little fête, appropriately [...]

Blasblog: Balenciaga Rechristens Le Baron

It’s an interesting question to ponder: What happens to Paris’ fashion week hot spots when, er, it’s not fashion week? Well, as someone explained to me last night, they lose a little panache. According to one Frenchie, last week Le Baron, one of the most frequented stops on the fashion week circuit, was making popcorn [...]

Blasblog: Packing For Paris, Finalizing The Fêtes

When I opted out of Milan fashion week, I felt a bit pleased with myself. Post-London, seeing my colleagues pack their bags for yet another foreign city to stay in another hotel and see more fashion shows, I was happy to come home and recharge. But as I got the late-night texts and saw the [...]
