ny mag.

The current issue of ny mag is the spring fashion issue. The inside is filled with tons of great articles, one about the gilt groupe's affect on fashion, story and photos of julia and vladimir roitfeld, an interview with anna dello russo, tons of fashion week pics, a story about lorenzo martone, and of course the usual tid bits included in the magazine...my favorite being the real estate in the back pages. You can order back issues online...or sign up for a subscription. I strongly suggest the latter, as it's one of the things I looked forward to most every week!

Carine Roitfeld photographed as Marchesa Casati, by Karl Lagerfeld.

And a quote from Carine about Cartier:
"Do you know why? Because Cartier is the jewelry you give to your mistress. It is not the jewelry you buy for your wife. I heard that and it might be totally wrong, but it is this idea and I love Cartier because of that."

style icon: catherine baba

She is truly an imagist. And has been referred to as the most stylish woman in Paris.

Her style is a mix of 20's and 30's glamour, with a splash of Bea Arthur via The Golden Girls....she invented eccentricity. And the way I feel about her can only be expressed in her own words, "J'ADORE DARLING!"

When asked to describe herself in 5 words she said, "An ejaculation of lifestylizations, DAAAAAAAAAArling!" If for nothing else, you must love her for that.














Her use of kimonos and turbans is BEYOND inspiring.

speaking of "the city"....

"You know, there's a thing about the woman across the room. You see the woman across the room, you think, She's so poised; she's so together. But she looks at you and you are the woman across the room for her." –DVF

"i have a reputation for being this total cunt."

Most people will recognize kelly cutrone from her appearances on the hills and the city as whitney port's boss at people's revolution. kelly now has her own show coming out on bravo starting monday feb. 1st as well as a book, "If you have to cry go outside; and other things your mother never told you." due out feb. 2nd. i've adored and been entertained by kelly from the first time i laid eyes on her. so i was extremely excited to hear about both these projects. and today i got even more excited when i got my new york magazine and saw an article about her. i am so happy i have a show to look forward to every week, and i've already pre-ordered the book so i have it to read during my trip to l.a. next week!

read the ny mag article here.

and some other great cutrone quotes:

on "strong" female characters on television and how they are portrayed:

" There aren't that many strong women on TV. Even if you look at Sex and the City … if you look at women on television … Sarah Jessica Parker's character is obsessed with Mr. Big and Kim Cattrall is getting banged 20 times a day."


Q. How do you differentiate what goes on The Hills and on your show?

Kelly: "Well, on The Hills, I'm on with a bunch of blonde girls. And on this one I'm on with a bunch of black-haired girls…. We're not fluttering around here."


Q. Since your company is so big into fashion, and you're into it too, but not all about wearing it—

Kelly: "Speak for yourself! I'm wearing Martin Margiela but just because you don't know that…."
