Spike Jonze’s New Cast
Just so we’re clear: Opening Ceremony’s L.A. outpost threw a party this weekend…for its parking lot. “It’s important to acknowledge these things,” said filmmaker and OC fan Spike Jonze. “If a friend of yours gets a parking lot, that’s pretty cool.”There you have it. (Expect copycat parking lot parties to start springing up any second [...]
Blasblog: Birds Of A (Jeweled) Feather
Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman told me last night that she’s always had a thing for sparkles and feathers—and indeed, a brief look back at her red-carpet-monopolizing label proves that she’s not kidding. Last night in Soho, she took the sparkle and feather fetish to new heights, debuting a new, avian-inspired jewelry collection with the London-based [...]
Sass & Bide Celebrates The Big 1-0 In London
To celebrate their decade in business, Sarah-Jane Clarke and Heidi Middleton, the Aussie duo behind Sass & Bide, asked ten of their favorite people to come up with an artistic interpretation of the word “shine.” The chosen few included Mischa Barton, Kate Moss, Twiggy, Sam Taylor-Wood, and photographer Rankin.

The Emmys To Be Early, Mischa To Be Very Late, And More…
Fashion world, start your engines. The Emmy nominations are in. Our hope? That Drew Barrymore will continue her recently kooky real-life looks by channeling Little Edie on the red carpet. [WWD]
The Mischa Barton psych-ward case has loads of theories and few facts. Whatever the truth (tooth trouble? drug use?), the starlet is definitely missing the [...]
Terrific Terexov

Although Alexander Terekhov hasn’t yet hit 30, there’s a restrained classicism to his work that belies his “young designer” status. He also draws beautifully. For the past few seasons I’ve considered the lanky Russian, who interned with [...]
Sienna And Mischa Brave The Crowds For Matthew Williamson
Hysteria is a common feature at the H&M designer collaboration launches—remember the catfights for the Stella McCartney range? But yesterday’s crowds for Matthew Williamson in London marked a new low, or high, depending on the perspective. The mob was particularly single-minded, grabbing at things indeterminately as they turned the place into a retail mosh pit. [...]
Blasblog: A Double DJ B-Day
With their weekly DJ residency at Lit—not to mention gigs at Dior and Visionaire parties—turntable artists Cassie Coane and Harley Viera Newton have quickly become staples of the downtown scene. So it’s only fitting that when the two of them celebrated their 21st birthdays on Tuesday night (yes, the friends were born on the same [...]
who needs college? asks mischa
Mischa Barton won’t be hitting the books any time soon. “I would want to go to college for the learning,” said the 22-year old. “But there’s so much else that comes with that that I don’t think I need anymore.” Like a diploma? Then again, if your acting career is chugging along there’s really no [...]
