The likes of Constance Jablonski, Thakoon Panichgul, and Magnus Berger all turned out to the New Museum last night to celebrate photographer Anna Bauer’s new tome Anna Bauer Backstage. Check out our full coverage of the Interview and DeLeon-sponsored party, co-hosted by Tim Blanks and Fabien Baron, here. Below, an exclusive video shot at the [...]

After playing the famously unlovely leading lady in director Cary Fukunaga’s new film adaptation of Jane Eyre, Mia Wasikowska could do with some glamour. Aptly, the petite, nearly pixieish actress donned a floaty, chiffon-dappled Elie Saab tea-length frock at the W magazine and Saab-hosted (that’s the automaker, not the Lebanese designer) screening last night and [...]

It was a clash of the creatures for Spring 2011. In one corner: last season’s reigning champion, leopard. In the other, python. Thakoon Panichgul, for his part, decided snakeskin, both real and as a print on sequins, had the bigger bite. Joseph Altuzarra also saw python as the clear victor. “It feels very exotic and [...]

When Naomi Campbell swept into Le Montana last night for ANDAM winner Hakaan Yildirim’s after-party, she pursed her lips and gently shook her head at an intrepid reporter’s tape recorder in a gesture at least as old as Garbo. But no matter. The stonewalling supermodel’s presence itself spoke volumes. It may not have been the [...]

Once, only the brave wore white after the first weekend in September (and by brave we mean French and/or those in possession of a generous dry-cleaning budget).

Still, Panichgul accepted [...]

There are plenty of New York fashion week fêtes next month to look forward to—including a Coco Avant Chanel premiere and the relaunch party for Pop magazine—but, trust us, none of them will compare to the party that the CFDA, NYC & Company, the city of New York, and Vogue have planned for Fashion’s Night [...]

Believe it. Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy are Target’s next GO International designers, joining a group that includes Thakoon Panichgul, Richard Chai, Rogan, and Erin Fetherston. The 55-piece collection launches on December 20. On the face of it, it’s undeniably exciting news. The sisters, who just snagged the CFDA Designer of the Year Award, have [...]

Ruffian’s Brian Wolk and Claude Morais, Thakoon Panichgul, the Threeasfour trio, and Marc Jacobs’ betrothed, Lorenzo Martone, were among the hosts at last night’s New Museum Next Generation cocktail party. 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 [...]
