New York Day 2

Welcome to New York!

: Blushing : The new Calvin Klein Mens X Underwear ad will surely ruffle some FCC feathers. Staring Kellan Lutz, Mehcad Brooks, Fernando Verdasco, and Hidetoshi Nakata the theme seems to be “Wanna see my D**k”. Umm seriously is that even a question? and if so I hope its rhetorical.

I didn’t completely hate the dress but I jut didn’t understand the rise in the front and the hideous shoes she paired it with. Plus it looks like the dress is wearing her and not the other way around.

I’m dying to see the other options that weren’t chosen because if this was the best out of the bunch then her stylist must either be blind or just didn’t care. Complete failure in YSL.

These days I seem to come up with the best looks at the last minute. I had 3 days to come up with something and the ideas were nowhere to be found. Day of and 15 minutes before I had to leave this look came about. You can’t tell but I’m actually wearing two set of pants, at the last minute I threw the wide leg trousers over my skinny ones.

While some people have pointed out that you don’t see so much of Agyness on the catwalk these days, (she didn’t even grace the runway for old pal Henry Holland’s show on Saturday) maybe this explains pourquoi… she’s been making a film!

Yep, Agyness’ face might be her fortune but it turns out she has more talents than a basic ‘Blue Steel’. Grazia Daily would like to point out, only a teeny bit smugly, that we have been predicting that she would go into acting next and it seems we were correct. Furthermore – we are delighted to say this morning, – she’s rather good at it too.

If there’s one publisher that can make buying books Tres Chic, its ASSOULINE. Not only because they publish the most complete set of Fashion Related books, but the store itself resembles a personal library. Books are displayed on over sized wood tables, there’s a quaint sitting area, and the cash wrap simply floats with no register in sight. They held their Grand Opening today hosted by Model, Author, and Real Housewife of New York Kelly Killoren Bensimon. Upon entering the shop I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by Kelly. She was perched on a table with her legs crossed.

Dressed in a black tank top, cropped leather jacket, Hervé Léger skirt, and Manolo Blahnik shoes she was surrounded by piles of The Bikini Book and American Style which she penned. Kelly was extremely kind in noticing my outfit and was very happy to accommodate my request. I had a copy of The Fashion Questionnaire book and asked if she would answer a question or two and sign it. She not only signed it but she answered almost all of the questions (I’ll post her answers soon). After my moment with Kelly I continued browsing through their selection of books and realized that I own quite a few of ASSOULINE books. Now if they ever add a cafe, I’ll be blogging from ASSOULINE Las Vegas via my BlackBerry.

This really shouldn’t be news as it should have been done years ago but it is. Don’t get too exited as you wont be able to purchase a Chanel 2.55 in caviar online but you will be able to get Chanel No 5 and later eyewear and accessories. Developed by R/GA New York the platform will launch near the end of the year. Unlike Chanel the Marc Jacobs site will feature select pieces from various collections as well as accessories and fragrances. The Marc Jacobs ecommerce is set to go live in August.

In the wake of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti the CFDA has designed a limited edition T-Shirt to help raise funds. Through its Fashion for Haiti Initiative the proceeds will be contributed to The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. The T-Shirt retails for $25 and is available online at NeimanMarcus.com, Zappos.com, Nordstrom.com, DKNY.com, Coach.com, Boktier.com, QVC.com, Bloomingdales.com, RachelRoy.com and Theory.com as well as various retail doors.
