Anna Dello Russo, the Editor at Large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan, is celebrating her new Editor at Large arrangement with INC for the Fall/Holiday 2011 season. During this evening’s event, guests previewed ADR’s launch at Openhouse Gallery.
With a full champagne bar and music by DJ Sky Ferreira, we spent our Wednesday night mingling amongst a line-up of fabulous color-blocking and fuchsia fur.

10 Crosby, Derek Lam's recently-launched diffusion line, might be touted as the designer's response to society's increasing nonchalance and decreasing disposable income -- but in reality, this high-quality label will be just as rare to spot on any given R train.
10 Crosby, named after the company's headquarters, maintained Derek Lam's downtown flair by tapping into the prevailing athletic-inspired trend. Model, Hanne Gaby Odiele, turned the showroom into her own personal jungle gym, sporting color-blocked separates, tailored jumpers, and versatile canvas pieces.

On FASHEMATICS, fashion is always the common denominator. If we were in the business of creating style formulas, we would add Gucci SS11 with STOMP to come up with the rhythmic NET-A-PORTER video below. I've already watched it about four times and I still can't figure out how fringe could possibly be that loud.
"Happy Birthday, Lois!"
Over booze and treats, Lois fans celebrated two years of versatile, mod looks on Ludlow. With wine courtesy of Local Boutique and culinary indulgences by Tremper Hill Catering, the LES anniversary party lasted from 5-10pm last night. Guests received discounts and gift bags with purchase -- which was all the more reason to score a new look.
And the gift that keeps on giving? After a long work week, there is NO SHAME in re-curling your hair while guzzling champagne out of a coffee mug... if it says Lois Eastlund on it.

This season, Frida titled her collection, "Sophisticated Seduction." Contrasting sky-bright hues with sandy neutrals, Gucci's runway was as sexy as a Friday evening sunset - a clean slate, yet full of possibility.
An updated take on color-blocking allowed for the more elegant interpretation, but the subtle spice hid in the details: Frida tied in braided leather tassels (her evolving runway trademark) onto bags and belts for a fine assertiveness.
Because the Gucci girl knows what "sophisticated seduction" really means:
More results, less words.
