There are at least two things I can count on in Paris: various fellow New Yorkers letting loose for fashion month’s last leg, and a late-night dance party at Regine’s. For the past few seasons, I’ve helped friends like Paul Sevigny, MisShapes Leigh Lezark and Geordon Nicol, and Tommy Saleh organize a little fête, appropriately [...]

It’s an interesting question to ponder: What happens to Paris’ fashion week hot spots when, er, it’s not fashion week? Well, as someone explained to me last night, they lose a little panache. According to one Frenchie, last week Le Baron, one of the most frequented stops on the fashion week circuit, was making popcorn [...]

There was so very much to ogle at last night’s party on the roof deck of David Yurman’s Tribeca headquarters. First, the panoramic views of the Hudson, doused in end-of-day sunlight, and second, Yurman’s signature bling, glinting on guests and arrayed in display cases. (In case the glare from either view was too bright, an [...]

Chanel should’ve put out an announcement on the Upper East Side: “Please steer clear of La Goulue on Tuesday evening.” The Madison Avenue restaurant, which was reportedly going to shutter this week, was taken over by the French fashion house to announce its new beauty ambassador program, and the resulting crush caused some dismay among [...]

When the snowboarding and surfing giant Roxy announced it was throwing a Roxy Music party, a few ears piqued at the news. “Careful now,” a friend or two warned, “Roxy Music is a cherished institution.” Bryan Ferry fans needn’t have worried.

The designer, who’s in Barcelona to present the Mango Fashion Award to a designer today, was the guest of honor at a party hosted by the city’s mayor last night. Having trained [...]

Mulberry’s annual fashion week bash Monday night was particularly crowded this year, seeing as some guests arrived in the capacious headgear they’d sported earlier in the evening for Stephen Jones’ exhibition opening at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Waiters in polyester gym shorts—back this year by popular demand—handed out apple martinis to Jacquetta Wheeler, Poppy [...]

At Tory Burch’s presentation yesterday at the Prince George’s Ballroom, it was clear that the designer’s appeal is branching beyond ladies who lunch. Way beyond. Kanye West, Santigold, and LL Cool J served as hip-hop ambassadors, while Burch fans Leigh Lezark and Greg Krelenstein represented the hipster demographic. One could argue that Burch’s current boyfriend, [...]

Ellen von Unwerth experienced a sense of relief at Erin Fetherston’s post-show bash at the Rose Bar Sunday night. “Sometimes you go to an after party for a show and you didn’t like the collection, so you feel guilty,” she said. “But not tonight. I thought Erin’s show was fantastic, and I can’t wait to [...]
