Pamela Love did not have a good day yesterday. The jewelry designer was loading out materials for her installation at Milk & MAC, which opened today, and wound up knocking out a water main and flooding her basement in two feet of water. Shortly after the plumber arrived, Love was informed by her boyfriend that [...]

Two words: metal fringe. Guests at last night’s private sale of Eddie Borgo baubles were going gaga over the designer’s new group of bracelets and necklaces fringed in metal—a reaction the designer was definitely anticipating. “I’ve been dying to make these pieces,” explained Borgo, showing off a super-sized silver bangle punctuated with some seriously disco [...]

Last night’s CFDA after-party at the just-opened Jane Ballroom in the West Village was a coronation of sorts for the newest after-hours spot from the Waverly Inn’s Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode. Judging by the shindig’s big get—a celebratory Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, plus a beaming Kirsten Dunst —the Jane could well fill this [...]

The enormous hole left agape in New York’s downtown lounge circuit when the Beatrice Inn was closed for a laundry list of violations a few months ago has been partially filled by the Tribeca bar 77 Warren, conveniently opened by Beatrice regular (and sometime New York Ranger) Sean Avery, Smith & Mills co-owner Chris Miller, [...]

And then she added that she was working on a top secret jewelry line for a “very important fashion house,” which she [...]

Just woke up. I need a caffè Americano with lots of sugar. I’m Dazeddigital.com’s guest blogger this week so I have to cover all the fashion week stuff. Previously Julia Restoin-Roitfeld covered New York fashion week, and now it’s my turn. Today is all about meetings. I’m running to photographer Vicky Trombetta’s studio to [...]

“This season, I wanted to create a collection with more feeling in it,” explained Joseph Altuzarra at his presentation on Monday evening. “I was hoping that these would be clothes people could connect to emotionally as well as aesthetically.” Mission accomplished: Altuzarra sent his Fall ‘09 looks down the runway several times, and each finale [...]

Many were wondering if Beatrice Inn, the West Village nightclub that has held the lock on fashion week after-hours for a few seasons, was going to continue its dominance during the Fall ‘09 collections. (Well, at least I was.) And while there have been some competing venues-Chloe 81 was allegedly raving Friday night, and the [...]

Fresh on the heels of the announcement of Topshop’s much anticipated opening date for its first New York outpost (check Style File later for news from the official press conference), Sir Philip Green held court last night at Amy Sacco’s party for Topman at Bungalow 8. Donna Karan, Mary Alice Stephenson, and Ann Dexter-Jones were [...]
