I'm excited that I was able to do this concept for a new and young designer, in a very challenging location. Titled "The Cool Kids", they've found their way into a vintage Soho loft after a night of clubbing and drinking.

I picked the location to compliment the clothes,...

Dinner theater is making a comeback with a distinctly downtown twist. During the beginning of the last century New Orleans was the center of the opera universe. Duane Park drew inspiration from there for their new Thursday night series, Theatre d'Orleans, serving Crawfish Bisque and Gumbo on a special $33...

The National Arts Club gave their gold medal, honoring a lifetime of achievement, to Betsey Johnson on Tuesday October 14th at their Gramercy Park home. Betsey joins the ranks of Carolina Herrera, Jeff Koons, Lynn Redgrave, Salvador Dali, Martin Scorsese and Whoopie Goldberg. In her opening remarks Chrishaunda Lee, chair...

Spring Fashion Week sponsored by Mercedes-Benz has come to a close. The palpable excitement I was hoping for was not there. The near brush with celebrity and the sense of discovery -- almost gone. The industry, at times, seemed to clash with its future while dusting off its Victorian...

Tommy Hilfiger is opening a massive 22,000-square-foot store on Fifth Avenue, and he's very excited about the new flagship location for his brand. I had a chance to interview this quintessential American designer and get some stunning pictures for a post.

Backstage, I got proof that models do eat....

We're in the middle of Mercedes-Benz Spring Fashion Week. The world has truly turned upside down. For fall, the runways were awash with iridescent and neon. For Spring Fashion we get beige? Too many designers are giving us subdued shades. Alexander Wang does earth tones and Lacoste gives...

At Y-3, the bags, clutches and purses were divine. The shorts were great, and so were the tux-inspired overcoats. The shear shirts -- not so much. Yet there were some strong looks.

In the end, five models came out and pulled the Italian Vogue photographer Bruno Rinaldi out of...

Click here for pictures of the night and all the celebrity sightings, including Rachel Zoe, Grace Coddington, Andre Leon Talley, Nicky Hilton, Diana Von Furstenberg.

Fashion's Night Out might have been a boon to freegans, cater waiters, DJs and taxi cab drivers -- but not to the beguiled...

As Mercedes-Benz Spring Fashion week approaches, I'm expecting glitz and glamour -- the industry's almost fevered attempt to divert our attention from the reality of living in this retracted economy. Denim is going to be strung, twisted and reinvented. From the preview sketches sent by a few designers, color...

As Spring Fashion Week comes into sight, it's kicked off by a global block party. The list of participating retailers and how they'll be celebrating, has been released. Soho will be awash with designers, Phillip Lim will be in his shop and Club Monaco will be offering cupcakes....

I bounced around on Sunday, taking pictures and watching the diversity. Strangely, 40 years after the protests spurned by drag queens, hustlers and the mob, Pride is a stayed affair, and most in the gay community feel it's not needed. We're proud every day. The street is filled with out-of-towners....

The night I met Cody Ross, a dog was placed in the microwave. He gleefully stated, "He can go for 52 seconds!" I promptly screamed, ran over and popped him out, onto the floor unharmed. Vice previously mentioned his love for animals; he received death threats from PETA.

The line...

During Fashion Week the stock market searched for bottom, again. Roland Burris was caught in an expected scandal. The BCBG Max Azria Group, which showed three times this week, was downgraded by S&P from "B-minus" to "CCC-plus". A move showing Wall Street does follow fashion.

The week started...

We finally have some glam and glitter at Fashion Week from former Heatherette Richie Rich. Without partner Traver Rains! Pamela Anderson gave us the final look and roller skated with Rich down the runway to a standing ovation and a warm welcome back to Fashion.

The duo broke up...

Fall Fashion Week is half way through. Color is back as designers try to give us a rosy outlook on a pared down budget.

If Wall Street rises and falls with the state of hemlines, we're in for a bit of a tumble as the fashion world drastically...

Here's a round up of the day before Fashion Week (at least the events I saw), many shows and new concepts, designers trying to break through and creative people trying to figure out how to interpret the new world we're entering through clothes. Today (when this post was published) we're...

I'm heading to Bryant Park for my second season in the tents. I'm excited. Trying to focus on the shows and my ability to absorb lots of details quickly.

Michelle Obama is supposed to be at The Hearts Truth, and Lacoste is always a spectacle. Although I'm not even...

Today, Barack Hussein Obama will stand on the steps of the Capitol, where only forty-three men have stood before him. In a city built by slaves, he will be our first African-American to ascend to this high office.

Over the past two years, groups small and large have banded...

Post Highlight: Monday there was a community discussion, at the request of the Obama transition project on health care, sponsored by Council Speaker Christine Quinn at New York City hall.

The news worthy items: Tom Daschle is working on health care...

Something larger then the quest for marriage is swelling the gay ranks. A sort of massive re-think, as we collectively must understand what marriage means to us.

I was morbidly surfing Facebook and came across my ex-bf, with my ex-bf's fag hag (does that make sense?) in the odd scenario...
