Ruffian’s Brian Wolk and Claude Morais have been busy lately—designing both their ready-to-wear collection and Mise en Scene, their secondary fashion and housewares line for Anthropologie—but the duo is adding yet another line to their mix: this one for the boys. “All our friends who are boys had been asking for it, and all our [...]

Claude Morais and Brian Wolk like to think of Mise en Scene, their new lifestyle brand of clothing, home furnishings, and fragrance for Anthropologie, as a diffusion line with a difference. “Ruffian’s signature details are there—the printed linings, the handmade buttons—and we’re still using imported fabrics,” explained Wolk. “We even worked with Cire Trudon, the [...]

We got a sneak peek of Ruffian’s favorite print from the upcoming Spring collection, and, well, it’s a little racy.

And true to the event’s name it was a fresh crowd, although not necessarily Younger Than Jesus, the show that’s closing there this Sunday. In [...]

After putting together a photography show focused on large-scale architecture, Douglas Friedman was looking for a new subject when about a month ago, an idea dawned on him. Well, maybe not dawned—more like sat on his lap, shimmied, and swung pasties in his face. “After big buildings, I thought I’d do big boobs,” said Friedman. [...]

As we arrived, we were super-thrilled to see our clothes in the Friedrichstrasse windows of Departmentstore Quartier 206.

Niki Jagdfeld, whose family owns it, along with a host of the chicest restaurants, [...]

Emma Roberts may have just met Ruffian’s Brian Wolk and Claude Morais, but the very fresh-faced starlet (we’re talking no pores, people) hosted their after-party at the Royalton penthouse on Saturday night like an old pal.
