Selma Blair, Woman of Simple Tastes?

It was a reunion of sorts: Ginnifer Goodwin, Selma Blair, a host of fabulous Bulgari jewels, and me. The occasion was Bulgari's dinner at L.A.'s Sunset Tower last night, in honor of the upcoming Christie's auction of the Italian jewelry house's 125th Anniversary Collection. It was just six months ago ...

The Pratt Gallery’s Shades of Green

Sustainable design? "It's nearly impossible," says Bodkin designer Eviana Hartman. "But I definitely make an effort to try. I really consider fabrics, and not just your usual 100 percent organic cottons." Looking at a pair of Hartman's navy shorts in a gorgeous, filmy re-purposed polyester at Pratt's Ethics + Aesthetics ...

Delfina Delettrez Fendi Isn’t Afraid Of The Dark

Remember the silver finger ring and nail polish set we reported on earlier this month? Its designer, Delfina Delettrez Fendi, was at Opening Ceremony last night showing it off, along with other creepy-chic creations like bejeweled skulls, frogs, spiders, and eyeballs. It's not as dark as it sounds: "I don't ...

Forty and Fabulous

If Interview's now officially middle-aged—the Warhol-founded mag celebrated at its 40th at Indochine last night—it's wearing it well. Editor Fabien Baron and publishing honcho Peter Brant had no trouble rounding up a crew of admirers to toast it—most of them younger than the thing itself. "I was 15 when I ...

Fashion at the Oscars, Scandal at Ungaro, and More…

Valentino could be Oscar-bound. The Last Emperor is "on the shortlist" for best documentary nominations, which means that if A Single Man makes the cut, this could be the most glamorous awards ceremony in history. [WWD] Eva and Jamie's ads for Calvin Klein may be too steamy for a long ...

Shipley & Halmos Resort Lands At Barneys

Hard as it may be to believe that the holidays are right around the corner, it's even harder to believe that Fall '09 clothes are already being supplanted at stores by Resort deliveries. (When was fall? Is it over?) Anyway, believe it. Shoppers starting their yearly snoop for presents and ...

All That Glitters Is Victoria’s Secret

The gates of Heaven, as it were, are guarded by three PR checkpoints and one drug-sniffing dog. Those are the hoops you've got to leap through to get to the Angels—the Victoria's Secret Angels, at least—who I met yesterday as they sat in their 30 makeup chairs, preparing for the ...

Cotton’s Candy

The It accessory for Spring 2010 just might be the cupcake headband, if Will Cotton has anything to do with it. The confection-loving artist—whose burlesque-ish ladies-in-Candy Land paintings have made him a hot commodity on the young art scene—created sugary headpieces and candy-covered PJs for Creative Time's fundraiser-cum-slumber party last ...

The News From Florence

Pitti Immagine CEO Raffaello Napoleone held a lunch today at Adour, the Alain Ducasse restaurant in the St. Regis, to promote his organization's January trade fair in Florence. One of the schedule's highlights will be Giles Deacon's Pitti W pre-fall presentation to be held at Richard Ginori 1735, a Florentine ...

Thierry Mugler Says “No Sparkles”

Cross-dressing chanteuse Joey Arias has been a fixture on New York's performance art scene since the late 1970's, but he doesn't look a day past fabulous. In his latest dramatic offering, Arias With a Twist, which opened to a packed house at Los Angeles' RedCat theater last night, the star ...
