Band of Outsiders’ Web site has always been home to a few blogs—from one documenting the brand’s collaboration with Lego to ones keeping fans posted on ad campaigns and label goings-on—but the latest may be our favorite yet: It’s dedicated to the love of cookies. Why? “If you don’t like cookies, you might not have [...]

It was a Latin American momento last night at the annual My Hero gala to benefit Aid for AIDS International. Carolina Herrera and Carlos Campos both came out to support the cause—raising funds to support those living with HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean—as did co-chair and board member Narciso Rodriguez. The philanthropic Rodriguez, [...]

If Interview’s now officially middle-aged—the Warhol-founded mag celebrated at its 40th at Indochine last night—it’s wearing it well. Editor Fabien Baron and publishing honcho Peter Brant had no trouble rounding up a crew of admirers to toast it—most of them younger than the thing itself. “I was 15 when I used to go to Studio [...]

Fashion is a game of give and take, and today Narciso Rodriguez will be doing a lot of the former when he presents a retrospective show of his work at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan to benefit the nonprofit Alas a la Mujer, which provides financial support to women in need for education and [...]

Cintra Wilson on Tom Binns’ new West Village store: “[He] proves he has no problem dredging all the desirable filth out of the ’80s and adding a bit of his own.” Yes, this is a compliment. [NYT]
Milla Jovovich is Tommy Hilfiger’s newest hire. The newlywed designer/actress/model has been tasked with creating the next limited-edition Breast [...]

The first time Jean-Marc Houmard waited on Andy Warhol at Indochine, he accidentally brushed his hand while serving a pot of tea. This anecdote, one of many included in the new book Indochine: Stories, Shaken and Stirred (Rizzoli), edited by Houmard and Maer Roshan, sums up the place’s enduring appeal: glamorous enough that the famous [...]

Not long after Narciso Rodriguez’s Spring show last night, Jessica Alba was pouring adoration on the designer at his after-party at Rose Bar. “The most awesome designer ever,” said the actress, who refused most pictures but happily talked to us. “He’s beyond! He’s totally reinventing himself, somehow, after all these years.” Before the clock had [...]

This has got to be one of the coolest FNO ideas we’ve heard so far. Edmundo Castillo is renting a black Winnebago, filling it with vintage Edmundo Castillo shoes, his Fall 2009 Edmundo Castillo for Narciso Rodriguez creations, and other accessories like necklaces and candles, and setting up his shop on wheels on the corner [...]

Perhaps it’s not surprising that Alexandra von Furstenberg launched a collection of neon signed and numbered limited-edition acrylic furniture in early 2008 and less than a year later, fluorescents—highlighter pink bandage dresses at Narciso Rodriguez, shocking orange furs at Michael Kors, etc.—were all over the Fall runways. After all, as Diane von Furstenberg’s daughter-in-law, she [...]

The stereotype: The athleticism of the fashion person goes not much further than the lifting of a Nina Ricci Fall 2009 platform or the mad dash of a Party Pentathlon to make good on five RSVPs in a single night. (Ed. note: Neither are mean feats.) In reality, however, we have some true sportswomen and [...]
