Tara Subkoff Pledges Allegiance…To Downtown New York
Would you like to have lunch on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange? Perhaps a late-night repast at Macy’s, the night before Christmas? If so, then the vibe at last night’s opening of Co-Op at the Rivington Hotel on the Lower East Side would have greatly appealed to you. Thronging is, perhaps, too [...]
Kate Bosworth And Rachel Bilson
Welcome Vanessa Bruno To L.A.
L.A.’s been receiving a steady stream of Euro imports this week. Mulberry’s Emma Hill blew into the Chateau Marmont on Tuesday for a dinner and pool party, and last night at the Chateau, designer Vanessa Bruno and friends were fêting her new West Hollywood store—her first in the U.S. The shop, which will carry Bruno’s [...]
Erin For Juicy, Imitation Of Christ Rises, And More…
Juicy goes flouncy: The label has announced it will collaborate with Erin Fetherston (pictured) beginning this May. In our nouveau-sweats era, are we ready for a revamped velour track suit?Her Parisian museum exhibition may be off, but there are still plenty of ways to get your dose of Kate Moss. The latest: Her new coffee-table [...]
L.A. Gets Odd
Odd Molly co-founder Per Holknekt named his handmade and organic women’s label after a skater girl he met while living in California in the eighties. So it makes sense that the Swedish label’s first U.S. store debuts in the Golden State (L.A.’s Robertson Boulevard to be exact), where it all started. Friday night’s opening soirée, [...]
Blasblog: B. Eastie Boys
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 [...]
Blasblog: The Department Of Premiere Security Took My Phone
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. [...]
Blasblog: Tara Subkoff Celebrates With Hot Chocolate and Vintage YSL
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, [...]
blasblog: a pretty gilded evening
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 [...]
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 [...]
samantha pleet’s second career: film

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 [...]
