Carol Schuster is the Worldwide Managing Director for Global Brand Management at Ogilvy & Mather, which means she has traveled the world and amassed an extraordinary [...]

Mr. Brainwash Pops Up During Fashion Week

Thursday night Steff and I attended Mr. Brainwash’s debut solo art show titled Icons. The French-born, Pop street artist presented two floors and 15,000 square feet worth of portraits and sculptural installations. Like the name implies, the walls were covered with portraits of icons—fashion designers, models, artists, celebrities and more. Our favorite were the model [...]

Happy Birthday Indochine

On Friday night, at Indochine’s 25th Birthday Party, we kept saying, these are like the fashion parties we read about before we moved to New York, part of the reason we wanted to move to New York, to see if things like this really happened. Practically naked (though elaborately head-dressed) women waited on booths full [...]

Meester Mayhem

Last night, I went to Times Square. I was greeted with throngs of screaming teenagers, like, dying over one Gossip Girl arrival after another. Inside was worse, paparazzi (and PR) pushed and shoved and threatened to escort us out if we – standing at a whopping 5’4” – didn’t get out of their way to [...]

Isaac Mizrahi Parties for Cheesecake

“Are you stalking me,” asked Isaac Mizrahi last night when I told him how much I loved hearing him speak at the 92nd Street Y a few weeks ago? “Oh my god no,” I whimpered as the color drained from my face. “Kidding!! I’m SO glad you enjoyed it, that’s so great to hear! It [...]

London’s Burning

“Geez”, muttered a friend Wednesday night. We’re standing in a jam packed club – not even a famous one – heaving with human traffic and queueing for £14 drinks. “What recession?” Indeed what recession — it’s certainly not in London. After a manic LFW, one would expect everything to calm down for a moment, for [...]

Nightcap: One Scented Evening

Sometimes the events gods smile upon you and actually hold parties in the same damn hotel. Amazing. After taking in the scene at the Teen Vogue party, I hopped into an elevator to the terrace of the Gramercy Park Hotel to check out Blumarine’s new scent, Bellissima, where the cedar scent of the Rose Bar [...]
