The 15th Annual ARTWALK NY
My destination last night was Skylight Studios, which was hosting the 15th annual ARTWALK NY, one of the bigger fund-raisers of the year. ARTWALK NY benefits Coalition for the Homeless, an organization that feeds 3,500 hungry New Yorkers a day, among multiple other programs to help the city’s homeless. I have taken part in ARTWALK NY for years, and this time around I donated one of my favorite photos of Keith Haring. This photo is especially timely, as Shepard Fairey will be using it as inspiration for a print, with some proceeds going to the Keith Haring Foundation. He just did a wonderful piece with Glen E Friedman, and I have great expectations for his interpretation of my good friend Keith.

Russian Fashion Week invitation
This is the third in a four-part series on the designers featured in Milan Fashion Week’s N-U-De New Upcoming Designers Project, which showcased international designers from Pakistan, Colombia, Russia, and India.
Russia is intent on turning Moscow into one of the world’s fashion capitals, and it’s starting by showcasing its talent abroad. At the Russian N-U-De New Upcoming Designers Project show held at the end of Milan Fashion Week in September, two designers — Masha Kravtsova and Lena Karnaukhova — made an impression with strong collections for spring/summer 2010.

(L) Megumi and (R) Aya
Note: I caught up with these two cuties at the Narita International Airport during a recent layover in Tokyo. Both are sales clerks at Mono Comme Ça, a Japanese concept-lifestyle store in Terminal 1.
Megumi and Aya, Narita International Airport, Japan
Who are you wearing?
Our t-shirts and our scarves are from Mono Comme Ça. We sell bags, wallets and accessories, but also some clothes. The accessories are from cheap stores in Harajuku. You don’t have to spend lots of money to be trendy in Japan.
What were you thinking?
It is starting to get cold in Tokyo, so we wanted to stay warm.
Where are you going?
After work, we will go back to our homes in Narita.

Jimmy Choo designs for H&M
I think about going to the Jimmy Choo H&M press preview on Friday night, but it is pouring down rain and I’ve never been much of a Choo girl anyway, preferring to run around in Repetto ballet flats rather than nine-inch nail-studded stilettos. Truth is, I was a little surprised to be invited back to a preview at H&M at all, given my behavior a year ago at the Comme des Garçons/H&M preview, where I stuck like glue next to the best items even though press was let in early ostensibly to interview H&M bigwigs, not scarf up merchandise before the huddled masses were admitted half an hour later.

Devi Kroell boutique
Devi Kroell is best known for her polished and luxurious handbags and shoes in exotic materials. But her third ready-to-wear collection, for the spring 2010 season, shows that this is changing. It is clear that Kroell is taking the bull by the horns with the opening of her first flagship boutique located at 717 Madison Avenue. I had a lovely conversation with her on the ground floor of the new store.

Palladium boots
Don’t you love it when something you wore back in the day resurfaces and gains cool status, and you get to wear it again without feeling like a dork? Well, that’s my story with the French boot company Palladium. I wore them in my raver days with phat pants and thought I was the bee’s knees. The line’s relaunch last season coupled with a fresh creative initiative, the Exploration campaign, is attracting a new crop of kids.

Wearable house dress by Robert Fontanelli
Robert Fontanelli’s work — drawings and 3-D re-creations of those drawings — is daring. It incorporates fashion and furniture in equal measure. And it’s erotic. I am obsessed. Last week, Fontanelli answered some of my questions and shared images of his new work.

Zana Bayne in her studio apartment
On paper, Zana Bayne’s story may sound familiar to you. An early practitioner of the Internet phenomenon known as fashion blogging, Bayne is the author of the ever-popular Garbage Dress. But it doesn’t stop there.
