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.

Rumor: Carine Roitfeld’s New Mag Will Be Based in NYC

Carine Roitfeld is putting out her own magazine in September. She’s made no secret of this fact. She told Karl Lagerfeld, when he guest edited the Metro, that she will “start out doing two a year” and that she wants the mag to be “the link between the runway and the real woman.” She also told Dazed Digital that the magazine “needs to be international and in English.”

But we don’t know much more beyond that. Who will publish the magazine? Who else is on board? Where will it be based?

Finally, some more details.

You Can Actually Buy This Record-Breaking Seven Feet Tall Visionaire Featuring Lady Gaga, For $1,500

This may be the first time Lady Gaga has covered a magazine whose outrageousness has nothing to with her. Sure, she’s dressed in a mermaid oufit but when isn’t she?

Gaga was shot by Inez & Vindoodh and styled by Nicola Formichetti for the front and back covers of the latest Visionaire, the LARGER THAN LIFE issue, which just happens to break the Guinness World Record for largest magazine ever–twice. The “standard” issue is just a regular old 3 X 4 feet, but the deluxe edition, of which there are only 250 available, is 5 x 7 feet. It’s not even life-size; it’s actually larger than a person.

Fashion News Roundup: Anja Rubik’s Wedding Pics, Images From Ricardo Tisci’s Visionaire and Miranda Kerr’s Golden Baby

Anja Rubik Got Married In A Mullet-Train Dress: The short-in-front, long-in-back dress is actually really gorgeous. Also love her ribbon-tie heels and the enormous crowns she and now-hubby Sasha Knezevic sport. {Vogue UK}

See Images From Ricardo Tisci’s Religion-Themed Issue of Visionaire: Since it’s likely you won’t want to shell out the $425 for the full issue, check out some photos here. It’s a bit unusual (there’s a banana wrapped in a ribbon that says “Jesus <3 Me") but looks great, with shots of Lara Stone, Arizona Muse with her babyy, and even Tisci himself. {Styleite}

Mulberry Makes Bank: Shoulda invested in an Alexa before it was cool. The Brit brand’s stocks rose 526% last year and its worth jumped from to $267 million to $1.65 billion, making it the world’s best-performing fashion house. {Telegraph}

Fashion News Roundup: Courtney Pays Up, Riccardo Tisci Gets Religious, and the Fashion World Bets on Galliano’s Successor

Courtney Love Pays $430k For Dissing Designer: Courtney Love will be paying dearly for ranting on Twitter about Dawn Simorangkir (aka the “Boudoir Queen”), who accused Courtney of ruining her business as a result. Courtney’ll be making payments through 2014. Courtney’s lawyer “doesn’t think she’s using Twitter” anymore. Smart. {The Hollywood Reporter}

Riccardo Tisci Collaborates With Visionaire On Its 60th Issue: Tisci curates the entire issue, which features a never-before-seen Robert Mapplethorpe photo, Carine Roitfeld shot by Karl Lagerfeld, and something with Helmut Lang, though Tisci didn’t say what. The theme is religion, and if fashion is your religion, this will be an issue not to miss. It will be out in June for a mere $425. {Style.com}

Our Fantasy Holiday Wish List

We know the holidays aren’t about the getting or the spending, but if there was ever a time to wish for that bespoke Tom Ford, this is it.

From the windows at Saks and Barneys to the Christmas displays in Opening Ceremony, stores are transformed into wonderlands where even the most Scrooge-hearted of shoppers can’t help wistfully picking up that Céline tote.

In honor of Christmas fantasies, we’ve picked out the gifts we dream of receiving one day. Let’s hope Santa Karl is in a giving mood this year.
