Fashionista’s FNO Guide #1: Where to Find the Celebrities

We can’t believe Fashion’s Night Out (and, thus, fashion week) is only a week away. As anyone who has ever been to a Fashion’s Night Out is probably aware, they pack enough events to fill an entire week into just a few hours, so pre-FNO planning is key. While Vogue‘s interactive map is quite handy, that is still a lot of stores to go through. So, we’re preparing a few of our own Fashion’s Night Out guides.

This one is for those of you who just want to see some famous people. We don’t blame you! Fashion’s Night Out offers rare opportunities to get up close and personal with real Hollywood stars. Maybe Tilda Swinton and Ne-Yo will become friends or Daniel Radcliffe will get wasted or Alexa Chung will debut a new haircut or Seth Meyers will screw up your drink or the Real Housewives of New York will be insane (that last one is the most likely)! Here’s our guide to where all your favorite celebs will be.

Weird Contest: Make Like Terry Richardson And Win Your Weight in Art Books

You know those body parts books, published by Taschen? It started with The Big Book of Breasts, which came out in 2006. The cover was, well, a large image of breasts. The Big Penis Book, Book of Legs, and Butt books followed, and I guess people started holding the books over their appropriate body parts and taking photos. Just like Terry Richardson and Benedikt Taschen in this hilarious photo. Thumbs way up guys!

Now Taschen is holding a contest to get rid of inventory. All you have to do is submit a creative jpeg of yourself holding up one of Taschen’s body parts books, and the winner gets their weight in art books. Enter here if you think you can come up with a better pose than Terry. The contest ends November 30th.

Fraulein von Unwerth

We have been long trawling the street for a new trend — one that you can cannot simply ape by looking at a magazine. The studs, mega-heels and shoulders have all gotten a little, well, ho hum, as of late. But finally that exciting feeling of a fashion rush came roaring back at last week’s Read more →

Passion for Taschen

I dream of a day when I can finally take the boxes upon boxes of my beloved books that sit in my parents’ attic and unpack them in what I imagine to be a gloriously large library inside my fantasy brownstone off lower 5th Avenue. And in this library, there will definitely be many, many Read more →
