"Last night, I trekked to Brooklyn for an adidas fete celebrating '60 Years of Soles and Stripes' at a decked-out Williamsburg warehouse loft space. We arrived a bit unfashionably early and my friend Becca commented, 'If this were a house, I'd call it the fourth estate!' But our real faux-pas may have been that we showed up dressed exactly alike: leather skirt, black everything, all topped off with a cardigan. We considered pretending to be in a band until we ended up sitting next to a trio of Swedes(??) dressed in the same Acne versions of our outfits. One coolly told me, in her unrecognizable accent, 'This champagne isn't even really champagne; I mean, it's from California!' before chugging her Andre. I guess it got the job done! Before we knew it, the warehouse filled up with similarly dressed folk -- with the exception of Adrian Grenier who got there first, claimed a prime spot, and milled about in full LA mode. The Phenomenal Handclap Band (unsigned, but with a clear HUGE fanbase) tore it up while people waved found-feathers in the air." (Papermag)

"Those who missed Mango's lavish festivities in Barcelona last week didn't have to suffer too long. Last night, the retailer brought the party all the way to Gotham, celebrating the reopening of its Prince Street flagship .. Others who stopped by included Ashley Olsen (as her sister Mary-Kate watched fireworks in Dubai in Middle East), Genevieve Jones, and Behati Prinsloo .. Guests like Magno's president Isak Andic, Tara Subkoff, Ali Stephens and Poppy Delevigne munched on the kobe beef, fresh lobster, lamb chops, and house slaw--but desserts came in the form of a set by Solange Knowles. 'Put on you Mango dress and dance, honey!' she exclaimed as Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone obliged." (Fashionweekdaily)
