Would you like to have lunch on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange? Perhaps a late-night repast at Macy’s, the night before Christmas? If so, then the vibe at last night’s opening of Co-Op at the Rivington Hotel on the Lower East Side would have greatly appealed to you. Thronging is, perhaps, too [...]

Last night would have been Keith Haring’s 53rd birthday. The late Pop artist, alas, is no longer around to celebrate, but the Gladstone Gallery’s new show, which includes rarely seen drawings from his sketchbooks, brought out friends and family to toast his life and work. “It’s a big occasion,” said gallerist Barbara Gladstone. “His sketchbooks [...]

Vintage dealer Cesar Padilla—chasing, [...]

Destroy/Rankin is not your usual photo retrospective. The book, which comes out stateside next week, does feature a collection of portraits shot by photographer, filmmaker, and Dazed & Confused co-founder Rankin over the course of his career; so far, so typical. Not so typical? The fact that Rankin handed those portraits back to his subjects, [...]

Last night, I had a revelation. I realized how appropriate it was that Madonna was the face of Louis Vuitton this season.
