Our fave red-carpet looks from last night's Met Gala, launching Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty...
As they say in fashion, three's a trend. At Marc Jacobs' dinner and after-party last night, throngs gathered to toast the fall collection, celebrate Valentine's Day and revel in a live Scissor Sisters show.
Looks from The Row's pre-fall collection. We like the leather shorts and big-collar suits. Very Klute meets The China Syndrome. Long live Jane Fonda.
If anyone can pull off appearing solo in a gallery of party pics, is it not Johnny Weir? Here he is on a whirlwind tour for his new book, titled, aptly, Welcome to My World. We first see Johnny at the launch party uptown in an architectural black leather ensemble, then at a book signing downtown in heels and dripping in furs. That's right, there was a costume change. Hello, duh, it's Johnny.
Sofia Coppola premiered her latest film, Somewhere, at the Tribeca Grand over the weekend. We couldn't make it, but we were somewhere, too. We caught a near-simultaneous screening of the view-from-inside-a-bubble flick, starring Stephen Dorff and Dakota Fanning's little sister Elle, at the Marrakech Film Festival. Granted, our showing didn't have James Franco and Marina Abramović in attendance, but we did stare down a giant plate of lamb kebab at the festival's closing ceremony later that evening. Does that count?...
At the Marrakech Film Festival, we took a break from the red carpet, Dior parties, dizzying souks and sinus-clearing spice markets to visit a fashion oasis. Yves Saint Laurent said of Marrakech, "The city taught me color," and there's a cornea-burning amount of it at the Jardin Majorelle. An exhibit of the couturier's vibrant djellabas, velvet Zouave pants, African bead dresses, and other Moroccan-inspired pieces—forty in all—has just launched in the shock-blue museum in the center of the sprawling garden, purchased by Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé in 1980 and renovated ever since. On the other side of the grounds, nestled in a peaceful patch of bamboo, sits a quiet memorial to the master...
French Vogue has released images from its much-ballyhooed December/January issue, guest-edited by Tom Ford. A man of many superpowers (including the ability to pull off wearing a feathery Native American headdress), the designer didn't just show off his spring '11 collection, which marks his much-anticipated return to womenswear. He also photographed, posed in and wrote much of the content. The issue, which hits newsstands November 30, might also be the first close-up view of Ford's swanky Santa Fe ranch the public has been privy to...
No space aliens can be found in it, but the new book UFO (PQ Blackwell, $135) does feature stellar fashion and celebrity photos from Scottish photographer Albert Watson's 40-year career. Short for Unified Fashion Objectives, the retrospective monograph showcases 364 images, including portraits (Grace Jones, David Bowie, Kate Moss) and editorials (Arena, The Face, Italian Vogue), as well as personal work. Here, a very small sampling...
The Gorgeous Issue of LOVE magazine, with its multiple gorgeous covers, was feted in NYC last night, at Longchamp's Madison Avenue store. Guests included LOVE's editor-in-chief Katie Grand, friend of Longchamp Uma Thurman, fierier than usual Patricia Field, and the new face of Longchamp for spring, Audrey Marnay...
