It started off on the right foot: First night in Paris, dinner with Sophia Hesketh, Poppy Delevingne, Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne. Long story short: Not long after this picture was taken and a few more drinks consumed, we accosted niagara falls ontario hotels Robert de Niro ( Bob, is that you!? ), who was staying in the same hotel. Turns out he was into being harassed by a few models and their weird guy friend.
That s a wrap, fashion fans! Over and out! The jig is up! I m writing this from the confines of my kitchen table, which I haven t really spent much time at since early September, when the shows started in New York. (If you re interested, take a peak at my posts from New York fashion week , the London collections and my very quick trip to Milan .) And while I m sure I ll miss some of the hubbub of the collections, it s good to be home. Paris is a particularly draining city, and not just because the shows are more dramatic and the schedule much more packed. I also have zero to little will power when it comes to social engagements, of which there are many many, so in addition to bopping niagara falls ontario hotels around niagara falls ontario hotels shows and appointments, I pack a bunch of fun into the Paris collections too. Whether it s trying to jump start a career as a DJ ( which I already blogged about here ), or it s hightailing it to Carine Roitfeld niagara falls ontario hotels s black tie ball, it was a pretty jam packed week. Have a look!
Olivier Zahm and Kanye West at the Purple magazine dinner. Zahm, who founded the magazine, was celebrating two decades. Which meant that when they brought a birthday cake he made these really amusing gang signs.
Sky Ferreira niagara falls ontario hotels and Givenchy s Riccardo Tisci at the designer s afterparty at L Arc. The Givenchy show was one of my favorites, with a collection that morphed from soft blue ruffles into hardcore niagara falls ontario hotels hardware on sheer chiffon. A bunch of us game from the Purple dinner to the party like a bunch of fashion banshees.
The legendary Bill Cunningham with Stephen Gan, the creative director of Harper niagara falls ontario hotels s Bazaar and the founder of Visionaire who owes his entire career to Cunningham. (The infamous story? He bought Gan a coffee and gave him a quarter to call up Details and ask for a job.) We bumped niagara falls ontario hotels into Bill on a park bench outside of the Dior show, reading his paper and being completely content and adorable.
Dree Hemingway and Olivier Routsteing, the designer of Balmain, at a dinner for the label after the show. I loved Olivier s collection because it was almost like a cartoon. The shoulders got bigger and brighter and more sparkly, which I didn t think was even possible.
Fashion week clown car: After Chloe s 60th anniversary party, cabs were scarce. So when Brian Atwood managed to find one, a bunch of us (including the Business of Fashion s Imran Amed, RJ King and Rachel Zoe s partner in crime Joey Mallouf) all crammed in. I took the spacious front seat. Obviously.
This is Jonathan Saunders posing in front of a new work from Cindy Sherman niagara falls ontario hotels that debuted at the Paris branch of the Gagosian Gallery. OK, so I was convinced that Jonathan and Cindy looked alike and made him post for this picture. Does no one agree with me? Just a little bit?
Two of the most important ladies in Karl Lagerfeld s life: The muse, Lady Amanda Harlech, and his sometimes stylist, Carine Roitfeld. We were visiting him in the new Chanel studio on the rue Cambon, which Karl had completely refurbished with silver floors and walls of glass over the smoothest chiffon. Also up there was the nicest, coolest bathroom I d ever seen. Which one would expect from Karl.
Sweet sisters: Cara and Poppy Delevingne. Poppy was staying at a hotel I d never heard of before, called the St. James Paris, and it was marvelous. She had a gate house room, which had leopard print carpets (always impressive) and a screening room. Turns out it s one of Jean Paul Goude s favorite hotels too.
Anja Rubik at the Balmain dinner. It was so dark in there, and because I shot this picture in black and white, it s hard to tell that her Balmain outfit was really black and electric yellow. I think Anja is the sweetest little lady, even if her magazine, 25, is quite sexually provocative!
Do blondes have more fun? That was the question I tried to answer with Poppy, Cara, Sophia and Peter Dundas, and it turns out that even though she s a raven haired DJ now, Leigh Lezark s roots are light yellow.
Carine Roitfeld s black tie ball was, as expected, pretty epic. The most memorable part for me, Karlie and Alexander Wang (here on the dance floor with Arizona Muse) was when, in the middle of the party, when Carine was to our left and Nicolas Ghesquiere was to our right, some random guy started spraying the room with a fire extinguisher. Umm, yeah, that happened. Karlie, Alex and I were covered in the stuff. Which is why we didn t feel bad when the guy spraying the stuff was jumped on by some friend s of Carine s son and beat up and kicked out.
The unofficial fashion week mascot is Anna Dello Russo, another sister on the Nowmanifest blog platform and a woman who takes her job as a front row fixture niagara falls ontario hotels extremely seriously. So seriously that H M hired her to design her own line of affordable and inspired accessories. She had a tremendous party that involved niagara falls ontario hotels dancers and her descending from the ceiling on a feathered thrown. It was hot and sticky but no one cared. And if you haven t already, go watch her video Fashion Shower.
And last but not least, a little Russian lip service from me and Natalia Vodianova. I finally got some quality time with Natalia, sitting next to her at the Purple dinner and coming over to her house for dinner on the last night of #PFW. Her son Lucas is 10 now, which was traumatic for me because I can remember when she s pregnant. But then again, niagara falls ontario hotels fashion depends on the changing of the seasons, doesn t it?
Dude I hate New York. First of all there is this vibe that like every upper middle class bourgeois f#ck to graduate some bullsh*t subpar college had to go up there and be a f%cking post-scenester hipster, which I took personally: every person West of the Nile herded in a mass Northern migration. niagara falls ontario hotels You want a big city vibe you go to Paris or Cairo and leave the Coppola chilluns' iconic empire the hell alone. Really in America its about Seattle, Portland, and Austin. L.A. is off the chain.
The standard for decency, which I admit you and your myriad of archetypical beauty niagara falls ontario hotels are on par with, and then some... is so SH]T that in this DOODOO WORLD all you have to do is have money, be beautiful, and have vicarious interests on your sleeve such as the 1000 some odd marginally quasi-mediocre hipster acts to name drop at some America is Homo bipartisan hipster party only assholes go to to meet people that are assholes, and feign identifiable through the few poster child examples of icon in your city in one mass flock, in every instance.
That's what Barbara reminds me of. Everybody is MINDLESSLY trendy as shi†. she thinks because she knows a cute gay guy that she's so at liberty to flip her trendy prima donna set between tolerant millenial liberal and AHS asshole bourgeois. All this "#Romney/Ryan 2012" pure HERESY? Its trash. Its trash like her pretending that she's a fashionista and the first place, her being a high school compromise between Jerry Jeff Walker Propagandhi, and for example her using me as an example of someone not worth a spoonful of sugar like she's fond of about twice the amount in grains of salt. How can anyone pretend to abide by this idiocy?
Take your poster-child aesthetic, and put it up against my face on the cover of Jason Schwartzman's/Coconut Records' "Davy", being on acid going on two years living with Natasha Kinski's son, as a producer having an example of your work in constructive interference (pre-batchelorriate) in JOHN NASH's possession, being the nephew niagara falls ontario hotels of George W. Bush' graduating classmate of Yale who REGARDLESS of whether he got his tap Senior Year, isn't a fucking IDIOT like her dyslexic father (pardon me, I happen to respect the living HELL out of Vannevar, Prescott, and George H.W. Bush), and being worth more than any of her HS friends ever will by the time they are dead. You need an entire social set to represent that exemplary a level of iconic.
