First Look

What to Expect from the Met’s Punk: Chaos to Couture Exhibit

“PUNK: Chaos to Couture,” the latest exhibit organized by Andrew Bolton for The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, opens to the public tomorrow. The press got a first look today. And I have a feeling reactions will be mixed. (The International Herald Tribune‘s Suzy Menkes already panned the exhibit for being too “sanitized and bloodless.”) Here’s why:

Marc Jacobs Fall 2013: Pajama Party

Marc Jacobs Fall 2013: Pajama Party

Instagram didn’t need a filter at Marc Jacobs. The first half of the runway show was lighted in a sepia tone, presumably so that the audience could focus on the details of the clothes. (The lights were taken up for the second half of the show–every model re-walked the circular runway so that we could see the looks in technicolor, too.)

It doesn’t matter which season, or whether or not we’re blown away by the clothes, Marc Jacobs is time and time again the most wonderful moment of New York Fashion Week. Falling on Valentine’s Day, it was the ultimate fashion love letter.

Last Night’s Parties: Maripol Celebrates Her Legacy, Chloe Sevigny Celebrates Hugo Boss

Last Night’s Parties: Maripol Celebrates Her Legacy, Chloe Sevigny Celebrates Hugo Boss

One of the people Lady Gaga just name checked as a seminal “author in the library of pop culture” hosted a book signing last night. No, it wasn’t Prince, Cindy Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, or Francis Bacon (Gaga’s words, not ours).

It was Maripol, stylist to ’80s statement-makers Debbie Harry, Grace Jones, Cher, and Madonna. Steven Meisel may have shot that iconic Like A Virgin album cover, but Maripol’s the one who slipped Madonna into the rubber bracelets and crucifix jewelry that sparked a trillion copycats. So, yah, we’d say Gaga gushing over Maripol’s cultural legacy is pretty on point.

While Maripol certainly had a heavy hand in fashion history, the woman’s still very much relevant today. Last year, she designed neon t-shirts and rubber jewelry for Marc by Marc; last night, she continued her latest moment in the sun (or torrential downpour, as luck would have it) with a jam-packed signing of her Little Red Riding Hood.

When creating the collection we were thinking of girls like Carré Otis, Debbie Harry; a real sexy tomboy girl who looks good without trying.” —Justin Timberlake, who very obviously has a “type”, to Vogue UK on his latest William Rast collection, newly launched at Read more →

Marc as Sprouse for Sprouse for Louis

So it’s true – Marc is in fact resurrecting Stephen Sprouse for Louis Vuitton next month. The launch will coincide with Deitch Projects’ 80s retrospective, (they’re the ones who initially suggested a re-do to Marc) and the Rizzoli book on Sprouse. But the Louis products – bags, scarves, leggings, etc – are all Marc since Read more →
