This might be the one party that would have taken precedence over our mother's sweet potato mash--okay, maybe not.

This might be the one party that would have taken precedence over our mother's sweet potato mash--okay, maybe not. You can be sure, however, that the Terry Richardson exhibition for the 2009 Vogue Calender must have been a fun event. Along with the photographer himself came Carine Roitfeld, Riccardo Tisci, Marc Jacobs--and all the personality that those names bring to mind. To see our gallery from the event click here.

Richard Nicoll Cruise Lands On Shore

This morning Net-a-Porter revealed their first deliveries from Richard Nicoll's cruise collection, and the wash of colors has us dreaming for vacation time.

This morning Net-a-Porter revealed their first deliveries from Richard Nicoll's cruise collection, and the wash of colors has us dreaming for vacation time. This midseason offering fits in nicely with Nicoll's Spring 09 collection which similarly features jolts of hot pink and silhouettes that are streamlined and loose-fitting. Nicoll is a graduate of Central St Martins and worked with Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton before launching his own collection in 2005. Along with the first four pieces from his cruise collection, the designer created an exclusive item for Net-a-Porter--namely, his coveted oversized t-shirt dress in navy (left). Classic, modern, and versatile it's no wonder Net-a-Porter requested he make the hot pink dress in another shade. Now Nicoll customers can get the bright statement dress and the classic basic from the same great silhouette.

Maria Cornejo Talks About Print

This past weekend we picked up a copy of The Journal and sat down with a cup of coffee to read about designer Maria Cornejo.

This past weekend we picked up a copy of The Journal and sat down with a cup of coffee to read about designer Maria Cornejo. Cornejo was an exile from Pinochet's Chile who grew up and made her name in London back in the 1980's. From there she moved to New York and after attempting to keep a low profile with her tiny Nolita boutique she became, deservedly, a high profile designer all over again. Check out our coverage of the Zero + Maria Cornejo Spring 2009 show right here, and, to purchase a copy of the Journal, click here.
