Check Out Terry Richardson’s Photos from Kate Moss’ Wedding: Jude Law, Paul McCartney, Carine Roitfeld and More

by

This looks like the most fun wedding reception ever. It probably was. Unofficial Mosstock photog Terry Richardson has been posting pics from last weekend’s Kate Moss/Jamie Hince festivities on his blog all morning. They are so casual and unprofessional-looking, like he’s just some dude uploading pics from someone’s wedding onto Facebook except the bride is a supermodel all the guests are beautiful and famous.

Imitation Resort 2012: In the Style of Tara Subkoff

Imitation Resort 2012: In the Style of Tara Subkoff

by

For Resort 2012, Imitation designer Tara Subkoff went back to her cinematic roots, directing a short silent film starring a glittering bevy of it-girls, from Becka Diamond to Nicole Trunfio, Lissy Trullie, Karima Adebibe, and Cecile Winckler.

Many of these same ladies–as well as requisite sexy actors Marc Ruffalo and Liev Schrieber–mixed and mingled at the Jane Hotel’s bar last night, where Subkoff showed the short in a continual loop. (Charlotte Ronson, Chrissie Miller, Shanea Grimes, Sky Ferreira, Karen Elson, and Jen Brill were there, too.)

Several were wearing the Imitation resort/holiday line, a collection of flouncy dresses and high-waisted trousers, all with a vintage feel.

Orla Kiely Ready-to-Wear: Karen Elson and Alexa Chung Are Obsessed and You Will Be Too

by

I have a new obsession. Orla Kiely’s namesake ready-to-wear line seems to have shamefully few fans in the US, though I can’t imagine that will be the case for much longer. The label seems to have a strong following in the UK where it is based, made evident by the Brit-heavy crowd at Tuesday night’s party for the designer at the Ace Hotel’s Liberty Hall, which included The Like’s Tennessee Thomas, Giles Deacon and soon-to-be divorcée Karen Elson. (P.S. a little birdy told us that “divorce party” didn’t actually happen.)

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow: A Look at Karen Elson and Jack White’s Style

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow: A Look at Karen Elson and Jack White’s Style

by

When I read on Friday that Jack White and Karen Elson were divorcing, I was a bit devastated. Their strange and loving union began on a canoe in the Amazon and it ended with a party for close family and friends.

It sounds like they will remain friends and both be involved in the parenting of their two children, Scarlet and Henry. I’m glad they’ve worked something out, though I will miss seeing them together on the red carpet and in the pages of Vogue.

In memoriam of their wedded bliss, we’ve compiled their best looks as a couple. Don’t worry kids, Mommy and Daddy still love you.

See Lady Gaga Covered With Babies and Dressed as a Baby: New York Magazine invited costume designers, artists, and general weirdos to come up with outfits for Lady Gaga.

Lindsay Wixson Says ‘Au Revoir’ to Paris Fashion Week: The young model left Paris earlier this week after suffering from an allergic reaction caused by make-up. No particular show was blamed but we can’t imagine a face full of red make up at Victor & Rolf was good for anyone’s skin. Wixson will be missed at upcoming major shows like McQueen and Vuitton. {Vogue UK}

Armani’s Spring Collection On Screen: Giorgio Armani is the latest designer to jump on the fashion on film bandwagon. The film, entitled “The Color of the Night,” features Karen Elson in Armani’s flowing ‘Le Femme Bleue’ collection.

Lily Allen to Wed in Chanel: After starring in a Chanel handbag campaign and singing live at the house’s Spring 2010 runway show, it’s no surprise that Lily Allen has turned to Karl Lagerfeld to design her wedding dress.

Has Grace Coddington Forsaken Her Cats? She Wants A Puppy For Christmas (OK, And Another Cat, Too)
Fashion Is Fun

Has Grace Coddington Forsaken Her Cats? She Wants A Puppy For Christmas (OK, And Another Cat, Too)

by

We all know that Grace Coddington is the ultimate fashion cat lady (though the industry as a whole has got a thing for cats). Not only does she have two cats –a Calico named Pumpkin, and a Blue Persian named Bart–but she also penned the masterwork Catwalk Cats. And, of course you all remember the Vogue spread Coddington styled featuring Karen Elson dressed up as Grace, posing with a litter of kitties.

So we were taken aback when Coddington admitted that she might bring a dog into the mix.

Agyness Deyn and Her Model Friends Fete the Launch of Naag.com

by

Monday’s naag.com launch party at Mary Queen of Scots felt less like a “fashion party” and more like a bunch of cool kids hanging out at a hip LES bar–in a good way.

If you’re wondering what naag.com is, I think it is best described on the site’s Who We Are page: “Naag is Fiona and Aggy and our friends. Talking about things we live and do and see and feel. We live in New York and like to hang out.”

That also pretty much sums up the party. And if its attendees were any indication, their friends are people like Karen Elson, Coco Rocha, Seth Meyers, Christian Siriano, Becka Diamond, Rebecca Minkoff, Eddie Borgo, and, according to the tip sheet, an incognito Marion Cotillard. To compliment the venue’s British theme, AllSaints sponsored and Agyness was dressed head-to-toe in the UK-based brand.
