After a Dazed Retrospective, an Eye for What’s Next
Less than 24 hours after the Champagne-soaked opening of the London exhibition celebrating 20 years of Dazed & Confused, founder Jefferson Hack—looking unrumpled and bright-eyed—alit in Amsterdam for the launch of another, completely different, exhibition. “I suppose I should start saying no to opportunities, but sometimes they’re too good to pass up,” Hack said. [...]
Happy Hour With Guinness
Last night at Jefferson Hack’s Another Magazine dinner, the table conversation, for the most part, circled around the past several days of runway shows. Plenty of people, however, were buzzing about Daphne Guinness’ FIT exhibit opening this Friday.“I’m so excited for her show,” Hack, who first met Guinness through Alexander McQueen, told Style.com. “I think [...]
Istanbul’s “Sense Of Opportunity And Possibility” Draws A Crowd—Including Dunst, Swinton, Ackermann, And Love
Istanbul’s population unofficially tops 16 million. This past weekend, it felt like every single one of them owned a car—or at least was driving one. Guests at Istancool—the second Istanbul International Festival of Culture, to give it its full title—became intimately acquainted with the world through a minibus window as they negotiated the route from [...]
Royal Wedding: The Backlash?
The world’s been anxiously counting down to the Royal Wedding (caps, please) of Kate Middleton and Prince William, dissecting every detail from the hen night (that’s bachelorette party, to you or me) to the going-away dress (apparently it’s what she’ll wear to leave her reception and head off to her honeymoon). But a quick canvass [...]
Exploring The Underground With Jefferson Hack
Jefferson Hack can now add a multimedia festival to the long list of projects he oversees, but as he told Style.com on Friday night, the one-day event, Dazed Live, is a league apart from the Glastonburys and Coachellas of the world. “Our festival isn’t strictly music, though there is lots of it,” he said at [...]
Fendi Gets Abbreviated
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 [...]
Party Time (Pigeons Welcome)
After the fifth day of the Milan shows, it was tempting to crawl into bed, order room service, and channel-surf until the Oscar broadcast started at 2 a.m. local time. But then we would’ve missed Angela Missoni’s dinner party, and you don’t want to miss one of those. Why? There’s the legendary Missoni hospitality, for [...]
Talk Supe At Hakaan’s After-Party
When Naomi Campbell swept into Le Montana last night for ANDAM winner Hakaan Yildirim’s after-party, she pursed her lips and gently shook her head at an intrepid reporter’s tape recorder in a gesture at least as old as Garbo. But no matter. The stonewalling supermodel’s presence itself spoke volumes. It may not have been the [...]
Ask The Experts: Favorites Of London Fashion Week
London fashion week is drawing to a close, and the fashion set is headed for Milan tomorrow, where Gucci opens the week. But as we’ve scooted around town for the innumerable parties, shows, presentations, and teas (this is London, after all), we’ve been asking everyone along to name their picks. Below, a few of London’s [...]
Get Back To Work With A Few (Hundred) Crazy Gaga-isms
Sad to say, the long weekend’s over and most of us are back at our desks. But one creature who never rested was Lady Gaga, who kept the home fires burning with a holiday-weekend dose of her usual inspired looniness. Gaga sat for a live interview with Nick Knight’s SHOWStudio on Sunday night and for [...]
