We’re On An Online High

ryan korban launch.jpgWe’ve anticipated the launch of two websites this week - one came crashing in and the other’s quietly arrived.

Interior designer Ryan Korban celebrated the debut of RyanKorban.com at the Soho Grand last night with a crush of familiar faces including hosts Alexander Wang, Natasha Poly and Victoria Traina. Korban’s best known for designing Alex’s studio, Tribeca’s Edon Manor and after last night, for gathering more models in one place - Iris, Daiane, Stam, Rose Cordero, Vanessa Traina (semi-model?), Angela Lindvall, Erin Wasson, Natasha - than we’ve seen since fashion week. You can’t actually buy anything on his site, except maybe his services, but just glancing at his portfolio will certainly make you rip your apartment apart in disgust and buy lots of other things. Consider yourself warned.

You can, however, buy plenty from AllSaints.com. The British brand’s been quietly creeping stateside this fall. Their Bloomingdale’s concession launched in August and they have tentative plans to inhabit part of the empty Virgin space in Union Square. But they’ve finally launched an online site for the US full of perfectly rock n’ roll leather, slouchy sweaters and studded accessories. As for their dresses, one of their head designers came from Vivienne Westwood. So again, consider yourself warned.

Vroom, Vroom: Proenza’s fall shoes have landed and that shopping-for-fashion-week itch is getting harder and harder to scratch. {Shopbop}

Oscar Bound: Erin Wasson’s adding another dash after model. She’s landed a bit part - and by bit we mean her name is “Party Girl #1” - in Sofia Coppola’s new movie Somewhere. {Fashionologie}

Five Facts: If you read Fashionista and generally pay attention to fashion, you probably knew about Alexa Chung way before your friends did, but here are five more facts. Just in case. {People}

You Think You Know: Someone has something new to say about Alexander Wang; his good friend and fellow Parsons grad and Edon Manor co-owner Ryan Korban talks Brooklyn, long hair and ballroom dancing. {W}

Les Scandales: A down and dirty chronological look at the biggest fashion scandals including Armani’s tax evasion, Anna’s affair, Naomi’s tantrum and worst all, when McQueen called Givenchy “irrelevant”. {Refinery29}

Shopping

Weekend Shopping Outlook: Excellent

hayden harnett wedge sandals how do i love thee let me count the ways size 6 please.jpgIf the fact that it just snowed on the first day of spring is as confusing to you as it is to us, then you know there’s only one real response: shop!

This weekend’s a particularly good one for sales, so here’s a little guide for those of you who may have missed our sale calendar:

Tomorrow, you can sip champagne while getting 20% off at the new Hayden-Harnett store, then skip over to the nearby Staerk, Built by Wendy, Only Hearts, Libertine, and Abaete sales. And if you’re really into it, you could head west to hit up the Falls pop-up store on Greenwich, before you check out the Alaia, Proenza and Givenchy at the nearby Edon Manor. You also have Michael Kors in Chelsea and Lauren Merkin a little further uptown. Or if you’re in LA, we highly suggest the Kiki de Montparnasse garden shopping party.

Starting Sunday, you could pick up Valentino (and Roberto Cavalli, Blumarine) on 57th Street, or if you’d rather not leave the comfort of your bed and Sunday Times you can have a Blair moment on Colette Malouf’s sample sale online.

Finally, if you feel like feeding your weakness without spending too much cash, the Loomstate event at Kaight today might be the way to go - you get an exclusive, stenciled Loomstate shirt for free with any Spring purchase, which means spring shopping fever is officially in full swing.

Happy Friday.
