Cecilia Dean on Visionaire 63, the World’s First All-Metal Magazine

We’ve all heard the phrase “Nothing lasts forever,” but Visionaire is seeking to disprove that theory with its 63rd edition. Titled “Forever” and entirely made of metal, the magazine is a collaboration with G-Shock and features eight imprinted images by artists like Inez & Vinoodh, Craig McDean, Karl Lagerfeld, Yoko Ono, Richard Avedon, Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari in a metal casing–it’s the world’s first all metal magazine.

The party took the silvery metal theme and ran with it. The Clocktower Gallery was transformed into a silver playland complete with silver confetti, mylar balloons, and even glitter cocktails. Guests including Cecilia Dean, James Kaliardos, Sofia Sanchez Barrenechea, Ladyfag, Hilary Rhoda, Heidi Mount, Constance Jablonski, and Vika Gazinskaya committed to the metallic theme with glittering outfits or accessories, although no one tried harder than a girl wearing light up mouse ears.

We caught up with Visionaire founder and all-over inspirational person Cecilia Dean to get the low down on how the magazine was made and what she wishes could last forever.

Backstage Beauty Brief: Rodarte, Oscar de la Renta and More

The last two days have been pretty colorful backstage. From Chloe Norgaard’s neon hair and tons of statement lips everywhere, it’s been pretty fun to look at. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of wearable inspiration too, in the form of Kate Moss hair and dewy skin.

Click through to check out beauty looks from Rodarte, Oscar de la Renta, Vera Wang and tons more.

What We Saw at NYFW, Day 4

It’s Day 4 of NYFW and we’re still kicking, though we have a few blisters now. It may have been our best day ever because we saw Naomi Campbell and David Beckham in the same 24 hour span. Are there two more gorgeous people on Earth? Aside from those pretty people (and some surprises, like Madonna’s baby Lourdes Leon), we also spotted covetable clothes at DKNY, Orla Kiely, and Antonio Azzuolo, and morning margaritas at Lyn Devon.

Our 20 Favorite Images from the Self Service Online Archives

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.

Nightcap: Ruffed Up

This week of fashion parties continued with last night’s celebration of Ruffian’s new book, Ruffian Inside Out. Though the book, written by Style.com’s Executive Editor Nicole Phelps, officially launched in April, we’ve been loving it since their AW09 show in February. Jamie Isaia’s photographs of Brian Wolk and Claude Morais are basically fashion porn. Thus Read more →

Ruffian Is V Pretty

We’ve always loved being backstage at Ruffian’s shows, because the vibe is so fun: There’s salad and scones, Irina and Chanel Iman, and lots of ’70s rock while the girls get ready. But this year, there’s something even more exciting happening behind-the-scenes: We hear James Kaliardos, the worshipped makeup artist and co-founder of V Magazine, Read more →
