courtney — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 17:43:49 +0000

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.

venetian nails

Guest Contributor May — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 21:14:14 +0000

Well. . . not really VENETIAN

. . . but venetian INSPIRED

HEY – nail art is still art right?

Similar to the Venetian glass work known as Millefiori – or “thousand flowers” – nail canes take your favorite nail design and make them ridiculously itty-bitty.

They start with a rainbow of clay polymers - stack, shape, assemble and sculpt until intricate images are created. The cane is then stretched and rolled until the diameter is almost non-existent. But, when the cane is sliced - SURPRISE!!! – the image remains in miniature

When budgets run tight – a nail makeover can be a guilt free indulgence. For a girl who can barely do her own manicure without shaking, sputtering, spilling and sucking . . .

”excuse me – could you pass me the nail polish remover please”

nail canes are pretty effing rad.

C’mon doing a plain ol’ clean polish job takes enough practice – forget about trying to paint a flamingo on top of all that and spending 4 hours letting everything dry. Nail canes have no drying time and ensure you get a perfect kerokerokeroppi or hummingbird on each and every nail. Find out more HERE

Henri Bendel in LA, whaaaaaat?

courtney — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:00:19 +0000

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!

Bat For Lashes

Guest Contributor Nadia — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:50:50 +0000

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.

Her performance was a 10 out of 10.

stream her music on Myspace

i recommend “Daniel” and “Sleep Alone “

Hellz Kicks After Six

courtney — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 01:55:19 +0000

Peep the Hellz “Kicks After Six” capsule. Claimed as “bold”, but isn’t the brand as a whole a bold statement ? Not many companies do it as well as Lanie does. Reaffirming the feisty bitch in all of us in the clothes we wear is just what this collection is about. Do I see Agness Deyn on one of the shirts…love her!

Hellz Creative Director, Lanie Alabanza-Barcena expounds, “Inspiration for the graphics were drawn from familiar faces of fashion icons and iconic fashion brands who celebrate them.” To present this collection, we’ve created a short film available via vimeo – http://vimeo.com/5603112

Bravo’s NYC Prep and Kooba Handbags

courtney — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:58:37 +0000

Bravos latest and greatest hit: NYC Prep has done so well that Kooba Handbags named their line after them! The bags named Blair, Blake, Kristie, and Logan. I’ve watched the show here and there…and its a guilty pleasure. While living in NY I had a private all girls catholic school next to me and the show isnt any different, all teenage girls in Manhatten have Chanel, LV, Miu Miu, etc. I was amazed. Prices for the NYC Prep Handbags go for 595.00

iDR LIVE ARTISTS SUMMER SERIES ReCap, June 09

courtney — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 07:25:59 +0000

If you didn’t make it out, too bad!

Our LIVE ARTIST SUMMER SERIES was an awesome night…nothing but great reviews from all the people that came out and supported to the wonderful staff at Orson. The aerosol artists were out in the front of the restuarant|bar|lounge so that the community, passerby-ers, and residents could enjoy. The artists were beyond talented, even Top Chef’s Master herself, Elizabeth came out to take pictures. Staff inside Orson came out to see what all the rave is about these artists, “amazing” is what they told me. Inside there were a lot of great conversations, networking, exchanging bcards, drinking, and of course eating (who couldn’t pass up those duck fries?). Goodie bags were quickly swept up by the end of the night. Everyone kept asking “is this a weekly, can I come back?“, well its not a weekly but we are continuing this series each month of the summer- July and Aug…so definitely come back, we’d love to see you! So we all drank, chatted, and ate until 10p which is beyond happy hour schedule, but who counting hours anyways?

On behalf of the iDR team i’d like to personally thank you the following people:
all of the artists: SATYR, DRAMA, WES WONG, TENFOLD
all of the staff at Orson and Elizabeth (thank you for the yummie cupcakes)
Todd of Snapademics who also covered our event
Fatlace, Made Jewelry, Papa Lo Down, The Les, and Love Made
our very own Tello, and….all of the friends and fam of iDR
THANK YOU THANK YOU

*did I mention that the final works will also be for sale? thats those that aren’t already taken! look out for future post!!

now onto planning JULY LIVE ARTIST SERIES……
