The Chicest Looks From Sundance

Christina Perez — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 11:02:32 PST

>> Kate Bosworth, Emma Roberts, Kirsten Dunst, and Elizabeth Olsen were among those who descended on Park City for this year's Sundance Film Festival. Though the weather provided plenty of opportunities for bundled-up Winter looks, there were just as many dressier moments to be had as well: Emma wore a body-con floral Topshop dress to the Celeste and Jesse Forever dinner, while Kate - in town for the premiere of her new film Black Rock - was spotted on the red carpet in a crimson, beaded Antonio Berardi number. See those looks - plus others - here, in the slideshow.

Erin Fetherston, Linda Fargo, and More Do Drag for Paper's September 2010 Issue

fashionologie — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 09:32:18 PDT

>> Erin Fetherston's name is typically associated with super feminine designs, but on the set of Paper's recent shoot, which captured women like Fetherston (below), Bergdorf Goodman SVP Linda Fargo, and Rachel Roy in menswear and mustaches, she admitted: "I've started to wear pants a lot, having been a dress-only girl for so many years. It's interesting to have a balance." Jenny Shimizu, who also took part, told Paper she's working on something new as well: a book of her life experiences, particularly "carousing around" in the '90s supermodel scene.

Burberry Brings Rain, A New Skyline Addition to New York

fashionologie — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:56:28 PDT

>> New York Mayor Bloomberg declared yesterday "Burberry Day," in honor of the lighting of the brand's logo atop its new US headquarters - watch a video of it going down here - and the weather complied with rain, appropriate for a brand known for their trench coats. "I was worried about the drizzle before, but now I love it," said Christopher Bailey, in town to celebrate. "It's all very English."

Christopher arrived to the unveiling last night with Lily Donaldson on his arm, who grinned and gushed about being "a Burberry girl" and "part of the [Burberry] family." He went on to explain what an honor it it is to have the Burberry logo lit in the first place: "It's one of only six grandfathered buildings in New York where you can do that, so it's a big deal for us to be able to affect the iconic Manhattan skyline, which I love."

The excitement seems to have made him chatty - he covered a range of topics, from admitting that he dyed his hair blue once to discussing advertising fees - like Mario Testino's, which runs $140,000 a day: "You’re buying talent. And I think talent never goes away with the changing economy, and talent is something we all need to keep nurturing."

Models (Hilary Rhoda, Helena Christensen) mingled with editors (Kate Lanphear, who apparently has dyed her hair black underneath, Amy Astley, Cecilia Dean) and it girls (Byrdie Bell, Alexa Chung, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Harley Viera-Newton), and the mix left at least one girl confiding that she didn't recognize Blake Lively - Lily Donaldson, who admitted: "I don't watch Gossip Girl. But you can't blame me. I don't even own a TV at the moment!"

The celebration seemed a success, except for skimping in one area. An alcohol shortage kicked in around 9:30 pm, leaving one guest unhappy: "That's the driest party I've ever been to." Same goes for Harley, Leigh Lezark, and Derek Blasberg, The Cut tweeted: "The party has run out of glasses, and the trio is displeased."

Whitney Museum Of American Art Gala And Studio Party

coutorture — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 08:11:10 PDT

Society's fall philanthropy season is in full swing and last night's 2008 Whitney Studio Party proved that socials aren't quite ready for private anonymous philanthropy just yet. Entitled Past Present Future the evening was underwritten by Versace which provided plenty of body conscious garments for the tight and toned bodies that seemed impervious to the chill in the New York air last night.

Donatella Brings that Versace Glamour to the Whitney Museum Art Gala

fashionologie — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:35:06 PDT

>> For the second year running, the Whitney Art Musem Gala was Donatella Versace's party. Editors - Olivier Zahm, Lauren Santo Domingo, Glenda Bailey - commingled with designers - Peter Som, Moises de la Renta, Ruffian's Claude Morais and Brian Wolk - and a smattering of models like Chanel Iman and Hana Soukupova. Christopher Kane's Versus designs even made an appearance - the Fall 2009 crystal shoes were on Byrdie Bell's feet, and Taylor Momsen - who seems to be close with the Versaces, particularly Allegra, changed into a black Spring 2010 Versus frock for the Studio Party post-Gala Dinner.

Donatella was fashionably late to the party - two hours in, she was nowhere to be found; perhaps she was still upstairs tending to VIPs - as was Lindsay Lohan, who swept in, all blonde hair and gold dress - earning comparisons to Donatella's trademark look. Lohan said she came "for Donatella" before beelining to Brian Atwood for a chat. Keeping with the "art chic" theme, the walls of one whole room at the party downstairs was covered in paper for guests to scribble on.

>> Another day, another party . . . this time around, the Gap Design Editions launch at Rockefeller Plaza. But that doesn't mean it has to be ho-hum: Lily Aldridge accompanied her Gap dress with those crazy heelless Antonio Berardi shoes, Threeasfour's Ange wore bright blue eye makeup, Byrdie Bell went majorly vintage, and Meredith Melling Burke pulled off her best Proenza Schouler.

My favorite look of the night? Lisa Cant's simple striped top paired with frothy full skirt from Jason Wu (far right). Does someone else deserve accolades? You be the judge.
