At his birthday party Tuesday evening, Project Runway winner and increasingly legitimate designer Christian Siriano was in high spirits as he made his way around Citrine on West 21st St., pausing for impromptu dance-offs with friends and later, grinning over platters of cupcakes festooned with sparklers.

The group hopes that by cutting the digital ribbon in the Read More
Last night, Milanese fashion label Costume National hosted a party in their Soho boutique commemorating 21 years in the industry. To toast the milestone, the brand known for super-slim-fitting clothes—à la Hedi Slimane—released a weighty book, Costume National: 21 (Assouline).

On Thursday, Aug. 17, in far, far West Chelsea, a large loft space was outfitted with nightclub-style lighting and miniature kegs of Heineken for the launch of something called DraughtKeg.
