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 [...]

Anyone having trouble finding the party Browns Focus threw for designer Mark Fast last night could have simply followed the trail of spiderweb-legging wearers beating a path to its door. Fast, for those unfamiliar, specializes in knits that bind to the body like a corset, and his leggings, marked by a line of cutouts down [...]

One good turn deserves another, they say. Natalia Vodianova and Justin Portman’s Naked Heart Foundation, which benefits underprivileged children in urban Russia, is getting some love from Eva Karayiannis, the founder of the British-based label Caramel Baby & Child.

After all the anticipation, the countless reports of who’d be wearing what, and which designers would be squiring which celebrities, the Costume Institute ball is over. We had many favorites. Kate Bosworth’s Veronica Lake locks, fire-engine-red lips, and lacy Stella McCartney were a bright spot; as were Jessica Stam’s coppery Rodarte (it matched her hair) [...]

“I feel like a different person,” said an almost unrecognizable bleached blonde Raquel Zimmermann last night. The model was taking in the impressive views from the Cooper Square Hotel’s glass-walled Penthouse at DNA’s pre-Met cocktail party alongside Lapo Elkann, Natalia Vodianova, Justin Portman, George Cortina, and a bevy of the agency’s beauties, many of whom [...]

Let’s face it, everything looks good on Natalia Vodianova—seen here in Paris on her way to launch the lingerie line she designed for Etam—even stirrups, which haven’t been in since the model was back in Russia selling fruit. What do you think of the next big leg trend? Are you planning to go along for [...]

“When Donatella comes to town, you want to do something,” declared Vanity Fair’s Elizabeth Saltzman Walker, by way of explaining the party for 80 she hosted Tuesday night at Tini, an “aperitivo bar” newly opened in Knightsbridge by the Princes’ favorite party throwers, Piers Adam, Nick House, and Guy Pelly.
