Fashion Meets Art at the Whitney Art Party
Last Night's Party

Fashion Meets Art at the Whitney Art Party

“So much better than last year” was the chorus heard time and time again at the Whitney Art Party and auction last night at Skylight at Moynihan Station. Presented by MaxMara, with co-chairs Maria Giulia Maramotti (MaxMara’s director of retail, and granddaughter of the brand’s founder), entrepreneur Hannah Bronfman, and actress/model Nichole Galicia, the event managed to raise over $450,000 for the Whitney’s Independent Study Program. A fashion brand getting behind an art institution; we support that.

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

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.

Jill Stuart Spring 2013
Reviews

Jill Stuart Spring 2013

The Clothes: Ultra-feminine and pretty–a hallmark of Jill Stuart’s aesthetic. As opposed to previous spring collections, this one was decidedly muted in color: Save for a handful of pastel frocks, looks were monochromatic in either black, white, nude, or champagne. But what the collection lacked in color, it made up for in texture: Filmy sheers, Read more →

Jen Kao Spring 2013

The Clothes: Sporty futuristic. Kao re-imagined her signature mini-prints and geometric cuts in origami inspired pieces that were less body con than usual, which was a lovely change. There were tons of boxy dresses with chevron prints on the front paired with cute baseball caps in coral, denim, and khaki and skirts with triangular pieces Read more →

The 10 Most Stylish Fashion-y DJ’s

Ever notice how sometimes the most stylish girls at fashion parties are behind the DJ booth? Well, for the most part, that’s no happy accident. Over the past few years, it seems a crop of young, well-dressed fashion girls has emerged as the go-to djs for fashion parties. Brands these days want girls who look the part. What’s interesting about them is that almost none of them are just djs for a living. Most have some other role in the fashion or entertainment industry that occupies their daylight hours, while their nights are spent looking cute with headphones as their main accessory. Tonight, for example, we’re headed to a party that model/actress/musician Solange Knowles is dj’ing.

The following 10 girls have varying degrees of actual DJ talent, but what they do have in common is an innate sense of style that we all want to emulate. Here’s a little guide to who these girls are.
