“Women know too much, too young, these days,” said photographer and director Jerry Schatzberg as he scanned the well-heeled crowd huddled under the High Line. “They don’t have the chance to grow into it…to become women.” It’s the ladies of years gone by that fill the pages of his new book, Women Then, fêted at [...]

Apparently, one party per day does not suffice for the Opening Ceremony crew. Yesterday afternoon, Humberto Leon, Carol Lim, and Chloë Sevigny collected a typically heterodox crowd to their garden party preview of the new Chloë Sevigny for O.C. collection: Spike Jonze (left, with Sevigny), Kim Gordon, skater Jason Dill, performance artist Justin Bond, and [...]

The British Fashion Council imported a truckload of London-based designers to hang out in NYC for the week, and more than a few of them turned up at the Jane Hotel outpost of Cafe Gitane last night for a dinner in honor of Peter Pilotto. Pilotto and partner Christopher De Vos got the wine ‘n’ [...]

Revelers who made it through the queue in the freezing cold, down four flights of stairs, and into the classic Parisian night spot Le Regine last night had some serious celebrating to do. “We’ve been working hard,” said Opening Ceremony’s Humberto Leon, one of the party’s co-hosts, of his crew’s rigorous fashion week. “Tonight we’re [...]

With the haute couture starting today—as you read this, I’ll have already taken in Dior—I wanted to make sure I had my fill of American culture before I decamped to these French shores last night. That’s why, on Saturday, I did two things that were quintessentially American: exercise (which I have never seen a Frenchie [...]

Spring means sun, fun, and apparently, booze on the boardwalk, which is just where Chrissie Miller and frequent collaborator Cass Bird headed to shoot the new video “trailer” for Sophomore’s Spring 2010 collection. A group of Miller’s favored roustabouts—no star appearances from Harley Viera-Newton or Jen Brill this time, though Virgins front man Donald Cummings [...]

Runway beauty Jessica Stam recently let us peek inside her makeup bag, where she holds the secrets to perfect skin, hair, and nails (not to mention the secret of what Chanel beauty ambassadors like Jen Brill really do: trade lip gloss tips with their well-placed friends). She also held forth on her beauty icon, Michelle [...]

The ladies I spent Wednesday night with, Fabiola Beracasa and Joan Rivers, might not seem to have much in common. But they do: a love of wigs, great senses of humor, and even greater taste in jewelry. My night started at Beracasa’s West Village penthouse, where she was hosting a trunk show for Eddie Borgo. [...]

“I love coming to New York,” Roberta Armani announced at Lauren Santo Domingo’s dinner in her honor at the Standard this weekend. “In fact, I’d like to move. Someone find me a good reason—a husband, perhaps—and I’ll set up here.” If it’s a sportsman she’s after, there were a few on hand at the de [...]

Remember the silver finger ring and nail polish set we reported on earlier this month? Its designer, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, was at Opening Ceremony last night showing it off, along with other creepy-chic creations like bejeweled skulls, frogs, spiders, and eyeballs. It’s not as dark as it sounds: “I don’t take it too seriously. See [...]
