We chatted up a bunch of fashion industry people today to see how they’re prepping for the storm, how they’ll dress, and whether or not they’re worried. From Tim Blanks’ plans to buy Timberlands to Cara Delevingne‘s concern that it will turn into “fashion Lord of the Flies,” here’s what the industry thinks of Nemo:
18-year-old Peter Brant II may already be fashion royalty and a billionaire in the making–but at the end of the day he still has to answer to his parents: Peter Brant and Stephanie Seymour, who were not exactly amused by their son’s ‘contingency plan’ to ‘Kill Obama haha.‘
Nicolas Ghesquière Leaves Balenciaga: The fashion world got a shock on Monday when Balenciaga announced that they were parting ways with their star designer. Cathy Horyn offered some insight into why Ghesquière may have left. Plus we took a look at the designer’s greatest hits at the storied house and the short list of candidates for the open design job.
We Love the Obamas: We’re excited that we get to see another four years of iconic style from Mrs. O and her daughters, who are growing into little fashionistas in their own right. The best thing about their style? The Obama ladies aren’t afraid to repeat a classic as evidenced by Michelle’s outfit at the polls, and her choice for election night. Relive all the best presidential campaign fashion stories here.
I’m not always a fan of using the word “everything” as an adjective, but I’m just not sure there’s a more fitting word to describe Harry and Peter Brant. In terms of quotability and lifestyle, they’re like mini Karl Lagerfelds except younger, more energetic, and just generally all over the place. Following their inevitable and Read more →
The fashion crowd travels to the 1920′s in this new fashion film by Garage editor Dasha Zhukova. Derek Blasberg and Peter Brant II may not be actors (at least not yet), but they hold their own against actual actress Chloe Sevigny, who plays the Prada-obsessed protagonist in the silent film. The film is part of Read more →
It was only a matter of time before Manhattan socialites Peter and Harry Brant became the subjects of a New York Times profile–and that time has come with both brothers still well within their teen years. Peter, 18 and Harry, 15 are the offspring of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and billionaire Interview publisher Peter Brant.
Thus, they’re gorgeous, rich, cultured, well-connected and frighteningly mature. They sit front row at fashion shows, fly to Europe on a whim, at have dinner at Azzedina Alaia’s house. They’ve even written about some of these escapades for us!
Because We Cannes, Cannes, Cannes: It was an extrava-Cannes-za this week at Fashionista as we covered the French film festival from all angles. From what was worn on the red carpet, to the best WTF red carpet moments, we’ve got it for you – even the amfAR gala and all black fashion show organized by Carine Roitfeld.
Gwynnie and Kimmy Go Twinsies: Now that Kim K is dating Kanye, and making her way towards the inner circle of one Gwyneth Paltrow, we couldn’t help but notice that the two have started to make the same sartorial choices. We’re sure Gwyneth is thrilled.
Andre Leon Talley and Ralph Rucci Kriticize Kim Kardashian: Speaking of Miss K, fashion heavyweight Andre Leon Talley and designer Ralph Rucci spoke at SCAD this past weekend, where they weighed in on dressing “celebrities” like Kim. It got a little harsh.
Farewell, Kristen Wiig!: We will definitely miss Wiig’s arsenal of hilarious characters next season on SNL, but fret not – SNL has always nailed some of the funniest fashion impersonations out there. Champagne Versace Pockets for all my beautiful bitches!
At Thursday night’s event celebrating Jitrois’ new pop-up store in SoHo (which is super chic and inviting, btw) I had the pleasure of talking to the hosts of the night: Brothers Peter and Harry Brant, who you may know as “the world’s luckiest teenage homosexuals” (according to Gawker, anyway).
Indeed, there’s no doubting that Peter, who is 18, and Harry, who is 15, lead charmed lives. The sons of billionaire Peter Brant and legendary supermodel Stephanie Seymour, the brothers are lacking neither in looks, style, or money. Despite their youth, they’ve travelled the world, rubbed shoulders with some serious VIPs–and they’ve got a boatload of hilarious anecdotes to show for it.

Divorce, Supermodel Style: Peter Brant’s security folks allegedly got a little hands-y with Stephanie Seymour this weekend. It’s all very War of the Roses. But are the only ones secretly hoping this leads to a reunion with Axl? {E!} Even More Drama: Peter Brant is not having a good week. Things aren’t going so well Read more →
Guess Who?: Gucci’s finally cracking down on Guess for their interlocking ‘G’ logo. Wonder what took them so long? {Bloomberg} That’s What He Said: Olivier Theyskens likes fashion parties , but he’d rather smoke cheap cigars and pee in the Seine. We’ll see him at the former, thanks. {Hint} Broken Brants: Stephanie Seymour just filed Read more →
We’ve always loved Interview – it might not be chock full of fashion but it’s oh so fun to read and it’s about to get even better. While the masthead’s been morphing and the fashion’s increased, the official “new” Interview, complete with Contributing Fashion Editor Stephanie Seymour, won’t debut until September. In the meantime, we’ve Read more →
