Out with spring fling and in with summer romance? That was the spirit at the Tiffany’s-hosted dinner at Il Buco last night. The fête, attended by a mix of fashion and media types including stylist Kate Young, Teen Vogue’s Amy Astley, and LX TV’s Sara Gore, kicked off the jewelry company’s newly launched Web site, [...]

London’s Peter Pilotto and Christopher De Vos threw a little dinner party at the James here in New York last night before heading home today to prep their first-ever Resort collection for the brand. In advance of a round of appointments with editors and buyers earlier this week, the designing duo spent a few days [...]

Kate Young is on a streak. The stylist was just named one of the top five stylists in Hollywood by the Hollywood Reporter, and topped off the coup by sending her client, Natalie Portman, to the Academy Awards in plum-colored Rodarte—and watching her walk off with the big prize. (Evening’s Best Dressed, of course, though [...]

Jack Vartanian hadn’t been thinking of snakes, per se, when he began working on his Spring ‘11 jewelry collection, the designer explained last night at an unveiling dinner at Le Charlot on the Upper East Side. But when he happened on a Brazilian rock, striated with epidote, which he turned into a chunky, faceted cocktail [...]

So many of Diane von Furstenberg’s collections are designed with the globetrotting woman-about-the-world in mind, but until recently, DVF fans in Brazil didn’t have a Diane outpost to call their own.

No doubt about it, innerwear as outerwear is one of the season’s top trends. But does the look work off [...]

I’ve known Duskin designer Stephanie Tran since her days at Vogue, and I’ve always admired her sense of style. You can count on the editor-turned-designer to have honed in on something like the perfect Chanel shoe that you kick yourself for not having bought. It’s likely the same talent that lends an immediate I-want-to-wear-it quality [...]

We like to think that we agree with Sofia Coppola on multi- farious style fronts, one of which is an abiding love of Araks Yeramyan’s feminine, but never frou-frou, lingerie. Now, the blog-addicted among her chic little cult (does SJP have a blog jones?) can add the newish araks.com/blog/ to their daily surf. [...]

Fashion week is busy in the best of circumstances—and at worst, an incomprehensible blur. Cab! Clothes! Air kiss! Repeat, ad nauseam. But anyone feeling run-down by the runaround should take a bead from stylist Kate Young and hasten to the Urban Zen shop on Greenwich Street. Between working with designers such as Yigal Azrouël and [...]
