To The Spinner Go The Spoils
At last night’s Brooklyn Ball at the Brooklyn Museum, the mood was properly medieval: In an enormous rotunda, heaping platters of meat (whole beasts, really) were the dinner for those brave or strong enough) to saw into them: 150 rabbits, nine legs of beef, two whole pigs, a host of turkeys. And this was after [...]
Smells Like Dree Spirit, Uniqlo Hits Fifth, And More…
Was this the face that launched a thousand ships? Ferragamo’s just hoping it’s the face that’ll move a couple thousand bottles. The label has just announced that Dree Hemingway will be the face of its upcoming fragrance, to be shot by Craig McDean. [Modelinia]Midtown Manhattan just got a little more dangerous—for us, at least: Uniqlo [...]
Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Miriam Haskell for J.Crew
As a recent bride, I was obsessed with finding dresses, shoes, and jewelry I could wear not only on the big day, but then again after it. Cases in point: the flat satin rhinestone-embellished Vera Wang sandals I slipped into at the end of the night came with me on my Positano honeymoon, and I [...]
Edie’s Back
Bad news for the eBay profiteers: Phillip Lim’s much beloved Fall ‘09 Edie bag, which has apparently been making the fortunes of a few free-market desperados, is coming back for Fall ‘10. That’ll be hard to swallow for those who paid as much as $3,500 for a faux auction-site version, but good news for anyone [...]
Leg Room
Girls who wear the pants, this was a good season for you. While a few designers continued to play with skinnies—Proenza guys and your new friend J Brand, we’re looking your way—several designers played with a slightly looser silhouette, cutting pants that fit around the legs but stay straight below the knee. No doubt the [...]
An Open Letter To The Leatherheads
As a man in a (largely) girl’s game, there are always going to be some trends that I can’t get in on. I thought—with some relief, I must admit—that the leather tees that have been sending editrixes into a swoon lately would be another of those I’d be observing from the sidelines. Sure, the leather [...]
Blasblog: From Theory To Terry On Fashion’s Night Out
To put it mildly, my Thursday night plans were ambitious. For Fashion’s Night Out (or F-NO! as some of us were calling it), my pit stops would be the following: Theory, Rag & Bone, Intermix, Burberry, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Prada, Miu Miu, Armani, Oscar de la Renta, Missoni, the Vogue Alumni House, Opening Ceremony, and [...]
Fashion’s Night Out, SoCal Update
Angelenos are notorious for going to bed early, but on September 10—Fashion’s Night Out—there are more than a few reasons to stay up late.
3.1 Phillip Lim
631 N. Robertson Blvd., West Hollywood, (310)-358-1988.
The SoCal native is releasing five new designs based on pieces from his archive. These signature classics, which have been re-created in new [...]
Phillip Lim’s Rosy Outlook
Remember this dress? If you were living in New York in the summer of 2007, you clocked it everywhere. And if you’ve seen The September Issue, you probably noticed its cameo, and maybe even thought to yourself, like we did, “Oh, I wish I bought it when I had the chance.” Well, good news, 3.1 [...]
Fashion’s Night Out Ramps Up
There are plenty of New York fashion week fêtes next month to look forward to—including a Coco Avant Chanel premiere and the relaunch party for Pop magazine—but, trust us, none of them will compare to the party that the CFDA, NYC & Company, the city of New York, and Vogue have planned for Fashion’s Night [...]
