Teen Jagger, Lily’s Lucky Charms, And More…
Meet Georgia May: The youngest of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall’s progeny is the new face of Hudson Jeans, the only company that seems to have any money these days. And, as if one insanely famous name weren’t enough, the ads were shot by Mario Sorrenti and styled by Camilla Nickerson. See what we mean [...]
Blasblog: Chanel Fêtes Its Beauty Ambassadors
Chanel should’ve put out an announcement on the Upper East Side: “Please steer clear of La Goulue on Tuesday evening.” The Madison Avenue restaurant, which was reportedly going to shutter this week, was taken over by the French fashion house to announce its new beauty ambassador program, and the resulting crush caused some dismay among [...]
Blasblog: The Interim Beatrice Inn
The enormous hole left agape in New York’s downtown lounge circuit when the Beatrice Inn was closed for a laundry list of violations a few months ago has been partially filled by the Tribeca bar 77 Warren, conveniently opened by Beatrice regular (and sometime New York Ranger) Sean Avery, Smith & Mills co-owner Chris Miller, [...]
Blasblog: Sean Avery, Revisited
This blog has done its part to document sometime New York Ranger Sean Avery’s dalliances in the fashion world (about which the Times delved into on Sunday). But what few people have noticed is that while Avery has dabbled in our world (a Vogue internship, presenting an award to his new buddy Vera Wang), more [...]
Good Bag Hunting
You can’t keep (the price of) a good bag down. At last night’s Hunting Season trunk show at Edon Manor, designers Danielle Corona, a Valentino alum, and her partner Jason Salstein, a former VBH-er, proved just that. Hunting Season specializes in bags so instantly classic it seems churlish to interrogate the designers about prices. (The [...]
A Love Story, Starring Carla and Sarko
Our previous, um, exposure to France’s first lady has proved that she’s no wallflower. So it’s not much of a surprise to learn Carla Bruni-Sarkozy green- lighted a documentary following her courtship with the French president while he was still married. Only in France, kids, which, sadly, is the only place this little gem will [...]
blasblog: another sporty fashion fan
We all know that former New York Ranger Sean Avery has an obession with fashion. But when the hothead moves to Dallas to play for the Stars (which, for any diehard hockey fans out there, we can report is Tuesday, just after the New Yorkers for Children benefit that he’ll be attending), we may have [...]
blasblog: an ode to the beatrice inn
A major pastime in the rural parts of Missouri where I spent my childhood summers was caving. Yes, wading though mud in the dark in underground parts of the earth—woohoo. The first thing a caver learns is that if a bat flies into your face, it’s not an attack—it’s because bats memorize the layouts of [...]
blasblog: the FOA (friends of avery) area
Early yesterday afternoon I bumped into former New York Ranger Sean Avery meandering Chelsea in hot pursuit of sunflowers. With a big smile on his face, he told me he was scouring the city for the big yellow flowers to decorate his very own personal VIP area at the Beatrice Inn that evening. Despite my [...]
