Cheesecake And Checks At Saks
If you haven’t been thinking and seeing pink everywhere you turn, you’re probably living under that proverbial rock. October is, of course, the month for breast cancer awareness. Saks Fifth Avenue is doing its part in a few ways, one of which is donating 2 percent of all this upcoming weekend’s sales to the Entertainment [...]
Talking Sex, Drugs, And Older Men At Cinema Society
It was a buzzy evening for the Cinema Society crowd last night—a chance to see Oscar contender pic An Education with rising-star ingenue Carey Mulligan and to check out the new Crosby Street Hotel. There to take in the event, co-hosted by Dior Beauty and Möet & Chandon, were Rachel Roy, Susan Sarandon, Charlotte Ronson, [...]
Friday Night Lights
On any given Friday night, the corner of 14th Street and Ninth Avenue is going to be a traffic morass. But if the gridlock seemed a little heavier than usual last night, it probably had something to do with all the cabs stopping in front of Abe & Arthur’s, the joint that’s taken over the [...]
Charlotte Ronson Fires Up The Grill
“I figured a barbecue was a good way to celebrate the end of summer,” Charlotte Ronson explained at her blowout fête at the Chelsea Piers last night. Given the heat index, the event didn’t much feel like a last hurrah. What with the fried chicken, burgers, cotton candy, and ice cream on offer, the party, [...]
Blasblog: Trenchcoat Teases On The L.E.S.
Jen Brill and Chrissie Miller were a little disappointed when they showed up at the Thompson LES hotel on Thursday night to celebrate the debut of Shoshanna Gruss and Charlotte Ronson’s swimwear collaboration, Made With Love. “Shoshanna promised me that she would be wearing one of the bikinis with high heels and a trench coat. [...]
Hey, Four Eyes
Just when we thought the whole trendy “I Tried To Be Terry Richardson But All I Got Were These Lousy Glasses” phase had fizzled out, something is going on with spectacles. Jenni Kayne had oversize plastic frames, Antonio Azzuolo used 60’s and 70’s Italian deadstock, and Scott Sternberg borrowed metal ones from Silver Lining Opticians. [...]
The One-Armed Balmain Brigade
Balmain’s been an editor’s favorite for a few seasons now but it appears that it’s winning over designers as well. Just two days into the New York shows, and the one-sleeve wonder is the toast of the town. Yigal Azrouël showed a modern take on what Alexis Carrington might have slipped into for a primetime [...]
Good Bag Hunting
You can’t keep (the price of) a good bag down. At last night’s Hunting Season trunk show at Edon Manor, designers Danielle Corona, a Valentino alum, and her partner Jason Salstein, a former VBH-er, proved just that. Hunting Season specializes in bags so instantly classic it seems churlish to interrogate the designers about prices. (The [...]
Rafael de Cardenas Won’t Reveal His Secret Wallpaper Source
You may not know the name Rafael de Cárdenas, but if you’ve visited Miami lately, chances are you’ve seen his handiwork. (Or if you’re model-obsessed and pored over the gorgeous spreads of Jessica Stam’s apartment in the October issue of Elle Decor.) De Cárdenas is the architect behind new exhibition space O.H.W.O.W. (short for Our [...]
Brother And Sister Acts Galore At Art Rocks! New York
It was a real family affair last night at “Art Rocks! New York,” a silent auction of 14 emerging artists—and a foot stomp of a party—held at the Bowery Hotel ballroom. Theodora Richards gave some sibling support to sis Alexandra, whose black-and-white painting of Guns N’ Roses drummer Slash was one of the works up [...]
