Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez (Proenza Schouler), Nathalie Rykiel (Sonia Rykiel) and acclaimed Paris-based producer Loic Prïgent hosted an invite-only event in celebration of the new Sundance Channel series, “The Day Before.”
The exclusive celebration included an advanced screening of Loic Prïgent’s “The Day Before,” which follows designers Sonia Rykiel, Proenza Schouler, Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld and Jean Paul Gaultier, in the frantic final 36 hours leading up to their runway shows. Following the screening, model-turned-DJ Alexandra Richards entertained the A-list crowd of celebrities and bold-faced names, among them some of fashion’s most influential designers, editorialists and about-towners.
Guests included celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe and assistant Brad Goreski, Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester, InStyle Managing Editor Ariel Foxman, V Magazine editor Christopher Bartley, designer Lars Nilsson, fashion industry staples Lynn Yaeger, Jen Brill, Lorenzo Martone, Julia Frakes, Jane Keltner, Becka Diamond and social-circuit regulars Cator Sparks, Chiara Clemente, Patrick McMullan, Victoria and Vanessa Traina, Lauren Santo Domingo and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Genevive Jones.

The original, four-part series airs as part of the launch of a multi-platform style destination inspired by the critically-acclaimed FULL FRONTAL FASHION franchise. “The Day Before” will cover the global fashion calendar – from Sonia Rykiel’s 40th anniversary celebration in Paris in October to Proenza Schouler in New York in February, Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld in Milan in March and Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture show in Paris in July – capturing influential designers at an intense period in time when creativity and commerce come together.
Remember when we posted back in May ‘09 that the historic department store Henri Bendel was leaving NYC? Well now it has showed up in LA’s hot hot Beverly Center. Who knew?! Im so happy its on the west coast, but does that mean this department store was sniffing for new money? I suppose shoppers in LA don’t feel as ressionista as the rest of America. Well the store officially opens in November with its beloved premium priced goods and brands as well as their signature line of bath, home, and fragrances. Can’t wait!

Natasha Khan’s costume at the Bat for Lashes show last night was so fantastic that one look had me mesmerized.
Indeed this songstress has captivated the music world since releasing her first album in 2006 (Fur and Gold) and now the critically acclaimed Two Suns ( released in April) has cemented her status as a powerhouse in the industry.
Watching her perform at Webster Hall was like wandering into a Pagan ritual with a gorgeous goddess singing to her adoring believers.
over the top ? maybe.
But you had to be there and since this show sold out within weeks it is highly unlikely that you were.
There was instrtuments of all types, candles, face paint, and a howling wolf in the background.
What a fun event! We loved it here at Orson everytime we have have our happy hour event. Can’t wait until the next August Summer Series. Be on the look out…it should be bigger and better!
