Lucky Shops Is Happening This Weekend: The Bargains You Can Score, What the Celebs Bought and Styling Advice From Mary Alice Stephenson

Last night’s Lucky Shops VIP shopping night was a bit of stylish mayhem in the middle of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District. I estimate there were at least a zillion people in attendance, all carrying reusable Lucky shoppers loaded with discounted designer duds and nibbling away at the most adorable miniature hors d’oeuvres I’ve ever seen. A decent smattering of celebs mingled amongst the crowd as well, also scouring the racks for deals and trying on sparkly costume jewelry.

There were two whole floors of excellent bargains, with most stalls offering 30 – 50% off of retail prices, and some even more.

Happy 30th, MTV! To Celebrate, the 30 Most Memorable Model/Musician Couples

We’re sure that when cavemen banged out rhythms on old animal skulls, all the most gorgeous cave girls immediately came running. While musicians have never had a hard time picking up women, it’s safe to say MTV made it easier for them. The era of the model/musician relationship bloomed during the MTV era–models and musicians were frequently thrown together during video shoots, which was a job that hadn’t existed for models before.

MTV just turned 30, and to honor the music channel which helped to give musicians faces and personalities, here’s our roundup of the 30 best (and strangest) model/musician pairings through the years.

Our 20 Favorite Images from the Self Service Online Archives

Yesterday, Self Service, the hit French fashion magazine with an insider tilt, relaunched its website with full archives. The goal was to create a database of everyone that’s ever been in Self Service. It’s like an online encyclopedia filled with people who are really, really important in the fashion industry. (Seriously, there’s an index.)

Now you know I love a good online archive, so I spent yesterday afternoon scouring Self Service‘s to bring you the most iconic, weirdest, and captivating photos from the book’s 16 year history. While my computer’s hard drive is now 25% covered in images of Hannelore Knuts, I’ve managed to pull out 20 photos that are particularly noteworthy.

But don’t rely on me entirely. After checking out my edit, go to Self Service’s new site and find out for yourself.

CFDA Awards: Who Won, Who Didn’t and Who Made My Day

Tonight at the CFDA Awards, actor Anthony Mackie said that the event really is like the Oscars of fashion. As one of the few people in the crowd who has attended both ceremonies, he should know.

And it did seem like an abbreviated, less-hokey Academy Awards.

There were skits–Diddy starred in a short that introduced the menswear nominees–celebrity presenters–Isabella Rossellini, Jessica Biel–and even some heartfelt speeches.

Stay-tuned tomorrow for our round-up of the evening’s best-dressed. And now, the winners:

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 [...]

From top to toe they rocked Balmain-shouldered blazers [...]

The magazine filled a Minetta Tavern table with Lauren Hutton, Karlie Kloss, Caroline Trentini, Iman, Paulina Porizkova, Naomi Campbell and Hilary Rhoda for a discussion on modeling past and present. Yes, it should be about five hours longer, but in [...]

Vogue Italia Cover: Iman

This just in from a source: The mystery face of the upcoming Vogue Italia is none other than the statuesque Iman! She’ll be surrounded by some other models (surely just a group of out-of-focus guys, er, girls), and now we’re betting there’ll be at least one picture of her and Chanel Iman together, hopefully wearing [...]
