District L

On Tuesday evening, New York-based designer, Lars Andersson, presented his “dark urban hippie” aesthetic at Soho Grand. Rich with hooded tunics and draped cardigans, Andersson’s androgynous collection was set to eerie sounds under ominous low-hanging bulbs.

I spoke to boys of The Black Soft, who were also drawn to Andersson’s gothic feel. Attracting an eclectic crowd of fashion, music, and New York nightlife insiders, the Swedish knitwear designer’s presentation was a shadowy success.

Pyramid Club. WHAT?!

The Black Soft, hosted by Omen PR and East Village Boys, drew a crowd last night unlike the usual St. Patrick's Day spongers. And yes, there was an open bar. But it was a healthy open bar, stocked full with Kanon Organic Vodka. Did you hear that? ORGANIC!

[Edit: The Beautiful Chaos, March 16]

March sucks. Fashion Week has passed, every weather report threatens rain, and transitional-dressing is always difficult.
