DVF and Andrew Rosen Rally for the MePa

FNO may be a thing of the past, but Diane von Furstenberg and Theory’s Andrew Rosen have appropriated the shop-till-you-drop evening fund-raising technique for their own philanthropic purposes. On March 18, the pair will host the first annual Open Market—an event that will bring music (DJ sets from the Misshapes, Nancy, JD Samson), food, cocktails, and fashion (sample sales from Alice + Olivia, Helmut Lang, Honor, Theory, DVF herself, and more) together to benefit the Meatpacking District Improvement Association. Set under one roof at the Highline Stages, the fund-raiser will be a “visual homage” to the vintage MePa days. We hope they don’t take the theme too literally, though.





To purchase tickets, visit meatpackingopenmarket.eventbrite.com. All ticket proceeds will go to the MPIA.

Shop the Look: Snake Charmer


The Spring 2013 shows marked a snakeskin revival. It slithered down the runway in New York at Proenza Schouler and in London at Preen by Thornton Bregazzi. We saw it on sleek dresses at Reed Krakoff and Gucci, and on handbags at Valentino. The luxe exotic is in high demand, so incorporate Spring’s slick serpent motif into your wardrobe for the new year with pieces from Lanvin, Nicholas Kirkwood, Oscar de la Renta, and more.

Theory And Uniqlo Get Down

At most of the major fashion conglomerates, each brand operates as its own fiercely independent fiefdom—you’d hardly expect Louis Vuitton and Fendi to join forces on a bag, though they happen to be corporate siblings at LVMH. But at Theory, Andrew Rosen is working a different angle. Rosen’s Theory is owned by Japan’s Fast Retailing, which also owns Uniqlo, among others; and now, with a new capsule collection of down jackets and vests, Rosen is bringing Theory and Uniqlo together. T down, as the collection is known, draws on the design sensibility of the former and the production expertise of the latter to gin up some of the sharpest jackets we’ve seen this (early) winter. And because of Uniqlo’s manufacturing capabilities, they’re both super affordable (topping out at $149 for a hooded jacket, nearly unheard of for down) and available for men, women, kids, and baby. The women’s styles and campaign debut exclusively here on Style.com. They’ll be in Uniqlo and Theory stores and Theory.com—though presumably not for long—on November 15. Could this kick off a trend for intragroup collaborations fashion-world-wide? It’s not especially likely, but it’s a warming thought.

Theyskens For Theory, A Very Collectible Crüe, And More…

Like his Spring ’11 Theory collection? Good news for you: Today, Olivier Theyskens was named artistic director for all of Theory. The line starts now. [WWD]

This is the kind of infographic we can’t get enough of: The reporters at Racked have stacked up the prices of vintage band tees at NYC boutique Scout to see whose musical stock is highest. The takeaway? Do like Megan Fox (left) and invest in Motley Crüe. Now there’s a phrase we never thought we’d utter. [Racked]

Is imitation the sincerest form of flattery, or did one of Harry Potter‘s costume designers get a little too close to a Fall ’08 Alexander McQueen gown? [Lela London via Refinery29]

And Lara Stone—fresh from causing controversy as the face (and mostly undressed body) of Calvin Klein—admits that she prefers naughty photo shoots. Why, you could knock us over with a feather! [Vogue U.K.]
