The Fendi O’ party has become such a fashion week staple—usually with a surprise performance—that when the label hadn’t planned anything for this Paris Fall season, it was disappointment all around. Enter last night’s little get-together, called F’, at Le Montana. It may have been a Lagerfeld-free affair, but that didn’t seem to bother the [...]

Is there room for two photographers in one family? If that family is the Demarchelier one, well, sure. Victor D.—Patrick’s son—has been quietly racking up credits (and a show, back in March, at New York’s Clic Gallery) for a few years now, but his latest project sounds like it could be a game-changer: a collaborative [...]

One for the hall of cool glossy covers: The new Sexy Body Issue of V, featuring five covers and five scantily clad cover models—Adriana Lima, Lily Donaldson, Eniko Mihalik, Isabeli Fontana, and Natasha Poly—and four fully scratch-off-able V’s.

Familiar faces Isabeli Fontana, Viviane Orth, Bruna Tenorio, and a bleached-blonde Ana Claudia Michels (in comeback mode [...]

“Does Rio give refunds?” asked one peeved local fashion editor here in Rio this afternoon when the low-lying clouds turned into a downpour at a brunch Carlos Miele threw before his show. “I came here for fun in the sun! Not pain in the rain.” Suffice it to say, the droplets did put a damper [...]
