Armory Week’s closing weekend was marked by two very different art parties. One was a bawdy art opening in a nightclub, the other an exclusive brunch in a private house. Ryan McGuinness‘ Friday night opening of Women:The Blacklight Paintings was held in the Le Bain nightclub (the Boom-Boom Room’s raunchier counterpart) at the Read More
In a scene reminiscent of an Edith Wharton novel, the patrons of the Museum of the City of New York descended on the Grand Ballroom in the Plaza Hotel for 25th Annual Director’s Council Winter Ball.
The evening began with cocktails and Champagne in the frescoed Terrace Room under the crystal Read More
Although Christina Neault’s job title is executive producer at IMG, a more accurate description of her job would be the COO of Fashion Week.

She is responsible for the order of the shows; a key responsibility as young designers’ Read More

At Diane von Furstenberg, it was clear that extra special care had gone into placement. Read More
You know a designer is white-hot if people are trying to buy your ticket to their show. On the way into Charlotte Ronson yesterday, the Observer was stopped by a couple who asked us to name our price.
“You have a ticket to Charlotte’s show? Oh my God, can I buy it?” asked a heavily Read More
It is always interesting to imagine who a designer has in mind as their ideal customer. For Prabal Gurung it must be a rock star’s wife who has to go to a dinner with Hollywood director after spending a week at Burning Man (we think the black featherweight leather dress with a hand-laced bodice). Or maybe Read More
The Rag and Bone show was so oversubscribed that the organizers needed a separate room for the overflow.
