Body Talk-ing With Robyn
Last year, Swedish pop singer Robyn released her three-part dancehall album Body Talk. She didn’t follow the traditional industry route of putting out an album, then touring; she did both at once, releasing one mini-album and taking it to the stage while plunging into the next one whenever time allowed.

“They Will Not Be Satisfied By Just Initials On The Edge Of Underwear”:
Jean-Charles De Castelbajac On Fashion’s Young New Clientele
It’s the rare fashion auteur who can lay claim to both Madonna and the late Pope John Paul II as fans. Jean-Charles de Castelbajac is one. The Moroccan-born, Paris-based designer (who created custom rainbow-print vestments for the late Pope, if you were wondering), got his start in the seventies and helmed Iceberg in the eighties. [...]

Daria Werbowy (left) covers the new edition, which comes packaged with the Tom Ford-edited December issue of the mag, wearing little more than Louis Vuitton jewels.

Katy Perry, (Bag) Lady Who Lunches
“I’ve always wanted to be a lady who lunched,” Katy Perry joked on Friday afternoon. The occasionally incandescent poster was co-hosting the seventh annual P.S. Arts Bag Lunch with event founders and stylists Elizabeth Stewart and George Kotsiopoulos, where, yes, both lunch and bags were offered—within a safe distance of one another. Held at Kristen [...]
