Last Night’s Party: Celebrating the United Bamboo Cat Calendar

by

Last night Fashionista teamed up with United Bamboo, Julia Frakes, and Creatures of Comfort to host a fête celebrating United Bamboo’s 2011 Cat Calendar. (Which is of course, our favorite calendar. Sorry Pirelli girls!)

The party took place inside Creatures of Comfort’s spacious SoHo store, filled with more Margiela than I’ve ever seen outside the MMM store on Greenwich St. The real highlight of the party, though, was the framed portraits of United Bamboo’s calendar cats, which were being auctioned off to benefit Animal Haven and Kitty Kind. Unfortunately, no actual cats were at the party, but there were a lot of cool-cat downtown scenesters.

DJ Johnny Misheff spun tunes, Julia Frakes hopped by wearing her bunny ears, and the Fashionista team staffed the bar, meaning the party was so good we completely ran out of wine. So if you woke up this morning in a strange place clutching a cat photo…oops!

Rumor: Julia “Bunny Bisous” Frakes to Star in Marc Jacobs’ Fall Campaign?

by

We’ve heard whispers that Paper contributor Julia Frakes might be starring in a fall Marc Jacobs campaign, but we had little evidence to confirm the rumors.

That was, until we did some snooping…via Twitter. Read this exchange between Bunny Bisous and illustrator Danny Roberts from April:

DR: @bunnyBISOUS hey my friend! Are starring in a marc jacobs ad???!
JF: Hey love! Hmmmm… RT @danny_roberts: @bunnyBISOUS hey my friend! Are starring in a marc jacobs ad???!

Frakes won’t confirm–or deny–the rumors, and she’s definitely Marc’s type. But the question remains: Did she pose for the ready-to-wear collection or Marc by Marc?

Painting By Note

To make this video, Danny Roberts, the illustrator and painter behind Igor + Andre, chose the music first, a song by Yann Tiersen. From there, he started sketching. But because he wanted the lines to match the beats of the song, he’d stop after each one to take a picture which means this ethereal little Read more →
