The big talk of the fashion world continues to be Dasha Zhukova’s editor-in-chief appointment at Pop. “I feel like the elephant in the room,” Zhukova joked to me of her attendance at some of the shows in Milan. Indeed, a sense of skepticism about Zhukova’s magazine skills has been apparent. “I’m going to be the [...]

We had the scoop in our party report, but now it’s official: Dasha Zhukova, London’s hottest Russian transplant and art star, will take Katie Grand’s abandoned spot at Pop. We have until September 1 to await the first issue. [WWD]

“The waiters keep looking over here like they’re going to kill us,” said Heidi Mount as she sketched a portrait of Lara Stone onto her napkin and doodled hearts and stars onto the tablecloth at the fancy-pants restaurant that was home to the Stella McCartney after-party. “But hey, they should have known better than to [...]

“Welcome to my bar mitzvah!” teased Dasha Zhukova, the London-based, Moscow-born new art world wheeler-
and-dealer, as a who’s who contingent of Euro friends and Muscovite society boarded an all-glass boat on the Moskva River. While there were similarities between this journey and a young Jewish person’s coming-of-age celebration—Madonna hits blasting from a DJ booth and [...]

Starting last week, there has been talk about which London haunt would be the unofficial go-to destination for Frieze. Would it be Amy Sacco’s Bungalow 8? (It could be, as Sacco is in town, often on the arm of Eva Mendes.) Would it be somewhere in East London, where all the cool kids hang out? [...]

While the rest of the fashion troops made it back to their respective homes this weekend—finally—Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen continued on to London, where they debuted their secondary line, Elizabeth & James, at Selfridges. “I love this town,” Mary-Kate said. “The street style here is fantastic.” Both girls had been in Paris the week before, [...]
