Prabal Gurung Goes 3D

I knew I was exhausted, but I thought something was seriously wrong when Prabal Gurung sent me a link to these images last night. Thank god they’re actually supposed to be moving, and I’m not losing my mind. Prabal met photographer Michael Fivis in Brooklyn–where he shoots rock bands on stage–and fell in love with [...]

Isaac Mizrahi’s Central Park Snow Storm

Given Isaac Mizrahi’s penchant for bad weather–rain last season, snow yesterday–I fear a hurricane in Lincoln Center next September.
