Pre-Met Ball Partying with Net-a-porter

by

When Net-a-porter throws a party, it goes all out. Saturday night, NAP’s Natalie Massenet, Lucy Yeomans, and Alison Loehnis hosted a pre-Met Ball, pre-Frieze party at Omar’s, the as-yet unopnened private supper club on West 9th St. It was billed as a dinner, but quickly devolved into a several-hours-long cocktail hour with Valentino PR honcho Carlos Souza’s sons serving as DJs. Everyone was there. Literally everyone. From Inez and Vinoodh to Karolina Kurkova to Olivier Theyskens to Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez to Christopher Kane to Olivier Rousting to Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, the guest list was just purely bonkers. You couldn’t blink without bumping into someone you felt embarrassed about bumping into.

I spent the party trying to get the scoop on attendees Met Ball plans and punk pasts.

The Stars Come Out for a Post-Coachella Party with AnOther Mag
Coachella Come Down

The Stars Come Out for a Post-Coachella Party with AnOther Mag

by

We thought Coachella ended Sunday, but at the AnOther Magazine/AnOther Man party at Milk Studios in Los Angeles on Tuesday, we felt like maybe there’s always a little Coachella in LA.

Editor-in-Chief Jefferson Hack historically throws edgy, slightly unconventional, star-studded parties to fete his edgy, slightly unconventional, star-studded bi-annual publications. Partnering with Milk Studios co-owner Mazdack Rassi, Hack did not deviate from his fail-safe formula, with stars like Joshua Jackson, Orlando Bloom, Andrej Pejic, Liz Goldwyn, Sky Ferreira, Frankie Rayder, and China Chow packed into Milk’s airy and gorgeous LA digs.

Demi Moore, Martha Stewart and the Brant Brothers Get Sandy at Chanel’s Art Basel Bash

Demi Moore, Martha Stewart and the Brant Brothers Get Sandy at Chanel’s Art Basel Bash

by

The tented setting at last night’s Chanel Art Basel party gave the whole evening a wedding vibe (albeit a very fashionable one)–as did the evening’s soundtrack, which tended towards songs like “Son of a Preacher Man,” “Satisfaction,” and “Shout,” and packed the dance floor. Adriana Lima was there, looking as gorgeous as if she’d just stepped off the Victoria’s Secret runway. So was Naomi Campbell, and Martha Stewart, and Demi Moore–who looked like she was having a really good time getting cozy with Lenny Kravitz and grooving in her seat in the VIP section. At some point she even found a cat to cuddle, which would obviously enhance anyone’s night.

How to Fete Without the Fat: A Consumer’s Guide to Fashion Party Foods

by

Ah, fashion party food. Anyone who’s ever been to a fashion event, or any fancy holiday party for that matter, knows what we’re talking about here: The bounds of teensy-tiny, too-adorable-to-not-consume h’ors doeuvres that always seem to be hovering just an arm’s length away. Maybe you came right from work and haven’t had time to eat a proper dinner. Maybe that model-slash-cater waiter carrying the deviled quail eggs has been giving you the eyes since you first walked in (or… hasn’t he?). Whatever the reason, there you are. There they are. You have one choice: To eat, or not to eat. So what’ll it be?

Monique Lhuillier Talks Celebrity Brides and Red Carpet Dressing at the Opening of Her Very First Flagship Store

by

After 16 years in the biz, Monique Lhuillier opened her first New York flagship on 71st and Madison last night. The designer referred to the boutique as a ‘jewel box’ to highlight her designs, and the gorgeous Waterford chandeliers and grey suede walls certainly did just that. Housed in a 19th century townhouse, the 3000 square foot, two story space actually feels quite intimate thanks to small rooms and nooks throughout.

We caught a quiet moment with Lhuillier, who juggles being a mother and wife with her super successful bridal and mainline collections. And she looks utterly glamorous while she does it.

From Sarah Jessica Parker to Kanye West, Everyone Wanted To Get Some Margiela for H&M Last Night

From Sarah Jessica Parker to Kanye West, Everyone Wanted To Get Some Margiela for H&M Last Night

by Leah Chernikoff and Nora Crotty

Yes, the refrain of the evening at last night’s over-the-top Margiela for H&M bash was obviously “What’s that jacket, Margiela?”

For the record, Kanye was wearing Margiela (well, Margiela for H&M anyway) and when we spotted him somewhere around the 7th floor he was all smiles which I take to mean that drunk fashion people (there were many, many well-stocked bars) weren’t shouting his own rap lyrics at him. Good job people!
