Media-Whore's D'Oevres



Where's Our Invite? "Alek Wek and Diane von Furstenberg are going to be spending a lot of time together during Fashion Week. The Sudanese supermodel, not to mention bag designer, M.A.C. face, and author, asked the designer and CFDA president to join Iman in hosting the launch party on September 4 at Socialista for Alek: From Sudanese Refugee to International Supermodel, sponsored by The Wall Street Journal, which has, of late, been particularly keen on associating itself with the fashion community."

"It's Friday night, and the ticket-holder line stretches around the block. Latecomers can forget it; the 8 p.m. show is sold out. The lobby's abuzz, as vintage-clad hipsters, film students, and cineastes just off their day jobs rush to buy organic popcorn, Jacques Torres chocolate bars, and David Lynch's 'Signature Cup' espresso before the show. It's a familiar scene at Manhattan's art-house theaters. But this snapshot of exuberant cine-mania belies gloomier truths about the current state of New York's art-house marketplace."

"Yesterday I was invited to Opening Ceremony to check out the new Chloë Sevigny collection which I am curious to see. She is actually doing the collection in collaboration with the great store. The logo is really cute (see above) and I think this could be really good, considering Chloë's great sense of style. I'll let you know after I see it on September 10th!" (KimHastreiter)
