I won’t lie: The notion of giving up Mariah Carey and the beaches of Rio, where I was for Fashion Rocks earlier this week, for the subzero temperatures of Moscow was a hard one to swallow. But not long after arriving here for the events surrounding Diane von Furstenberg’s exhibition opening, I found some things [...]

As we mentioned yesterday, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, and Claudia Schiffer hit Milan’s department store La Rinascente earlier this evening to celebrate the launch of D&G’s new fragrance Anthology. Though they’re not wearing a stitch in the campaign, for this occasion, this trio of über-models dressed themselves in matchy-matchy looks of black jackets, white tees, [...]

In concert with the influx of fashion-loving foreigners, September is Milan’s happening retail season. The biggest store news comes from the new D&G revamp in Corso Venezia 7 (pictured above), and Trussardi 1911’s new “concept” lifestyle store at Piazza della Scala 5, where comfortable chairs and reading material are part of the shopping experience. There’s [...]

Hungry Russian models now have a place to go for some Slavic home cooking, just like Babushka used to make: Mari Vanna.

At Lakmé fashion week, under way in Mumbai, it’s all about Naomi—Campbell, that is, in town to raise money and awareness for victims of the November 26 terrorist attacks on the city. Giving lie to her reputation as modeling’s enfant terrible, she graciously welcomed well-wishers such as Dior ambassador Kalyani Chawla, Vikram Chatwal, and Condé [...]

Truth be told, there was something confounding about Monday’s announcement by the CFDA that Anna Sui would be receiving this year’s Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award. While Sui herself seems a touch young for those kinds of laurels, there’s also the tricky matter of her aesthetics. Sui has drunk from the fountain of youth: The [...]

For Paul Rowland, “pretty” is not enough. Not that he has anything against a good-looking girl—Rowland is, after all, the founder of the modeling agencies Women and Supreme. Over the past 20 years he’s helped launch the careers of models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, and Carmen Kass, to name a few familiar faces. [...]

I don’t think it’s any secret that I’m a sucker for polished blonde girls with fancy pads and fashionable closets. So it shouldn’t come as any surprise that I’m a fan of Tory Burch, the forever decked-out little lady with a million-dollar fashion company, and, as of this year, a CFDA Award. But on Friday [...]
