It was JFK to LAX for the boys of Warby Parker who teamed up with a bespectacled Ashton Kutcher to celebrate their new shop-in-shop at L.A.’s Confederacy, the label’s first specs-on-the-ground presence on the left coast. “There is a misperception by the rest of the country of Southern California. And the Southern California that we [...]

Orange made a splash on the runways for Spring, but it remained to be seen whether anyone would brave the shade in the real world. Remained, that is, until last night. Drew Barrymore at Emmy Rossum both wore head-to-toe orange stepping out on opposite coasts: Barrymore, in floor-length Jil Sander, in Hollywood at Cover Girl’s [...]

“I feel like I’m having my bar mitzvah all over again,” jewelry designer David Yurman joked last night at the grand opening party of his new Madison Avenue flagship, the Townhouse. “Almost everyone here is a friend who has watched me grow through the past 30 years.” A bevy of Southern belles even came north [...]
