The place to be late last Thursday night was B.East. Milla Jovovich, Jen Brill, Lauren Santo Domingo, Tara Subkoff, Christopher Bollen, and I headed down there after the Museum of Natural History dance. But we were hardly the party—Sophia Lamar, Hamish Bowles, and Jack McCollough were already hanging out with the hosts, art and fashion [...]

I’ve sacrificed a great deal of personal dignity when it comes to parties. In desperation, I once told a bouncer I was Tom Ford’s nephew. But at the premiere of Bride Wars last night they took from me something more important than integrity or dignity. They took my cell phone. My link to the world. [...]

Tara Subkoff, fashion’s original actress turned designer turned multitasking cool kid, celebrated her birthday last night in possibly the most unexpected place for the former reigning queen of downtown cool: the very uptown, very polished Carlyle hotel. “Well, I’m getting a little bit older and figured I needed to start making the shift,” deadpanned Subkoff, [...]

As I am a sucker for anything resembling an English country club, it was a very sad day when I missed last week’s opening party for the new Libertine restaurant in the Gild Hall hotel. Not only did it have the rarest host committee I’ve seen in a while—no girls at all (sorry Tinsley) and [...]

Fashion week is starting to feel like a film festival. Last Thursday, Tara Subkoff screened her Fame Fatale short, starring her new collection for Bebe; a day later, Scott Sternberg bowed his Band of Outsiders videos starring Kirsten Dunst; tonight, Melissa Coker of Wren will debut the Alia Raza-helmed Another 3 Women. Moving pictures are [...]

“Can I have your attention, please: The Rose Bar is now officially a rock ‘n’ roll club.” With that announcement, which was made by Nur Khan, who’s been the maestro of the Gramercy Park’s swanky red-velvet lounge since it opened, the top-secret second anniversary celebration of the club began. (Not that anything in this city [...]

There’s nothing hotter than a runway show on the tippy top of a new skyscraper overlooking the Hudson. There’s also nothing hotter (different meaning here, people) than a crowded elevator full of sweaty fashion-week guests trying to exit the building following a runway show on the tippy top of a new skyscraper overlooking the Hudson.

Tara Subkoff has not been getting much sun this summer. Granted, the ex-Imitation of Christ designer has never come off as the type to slather on coconut oil and bake on a beach blanket, but even so, a girl needs her vitamin D. “I’ve spent pretty much every hour of my summer working on my [...]
