Summertime Clothes

The inimitable Andrew Andrew dressed in head-to-toe Tommy Hilfiger (they came from DJing an event for the company).

Yesterday night before heading over to Six Six Sick, I stopped by Allegra's gallery, LaViola Bank, for a dinner celebrating Helle Mardahl's exhibition. Even after hosting the gallery opening and the afterparty for Helle, I still can't get enough of her, and it was such a pleasure to get to sit down in a more calm setting and have a chance to talk with everybody, and enjoy the first barbecue of the season.  Helle looked stunning, and slightly calmer now, and I got to meet her best friend from Denmark, Stine Goya, who designs an incredible women's wear line.  Our DJ's from the afterparty, and favorite matching males (who are the perfect counterparts for three matching females like us), Andrew Andrew, were the scene stealers/makers of the night.  They're probably the only two people who have ever walked into a buyers meeting with Julie Gilhart at Barneys to show off their line of empty hangers (it didn't sell).  I was originally planning on meeting some friends at the Betsey Johnson benefit party nearby, but got so caught up, I didn't want to leave until I absolutely had to go to Happy Ending.  Luckily Helle, Jesper and Maja joined me there.  Anyway, here are some pictures of my very lovely (and impeccably dressed) companions for the evening.

Allegra and I hanging out in the back yard of LaViola Bank, where her boyfriend Forrest prepared the most amazing barbecue.  I wore my Six Six Sick porcelain flower top and skirt, and went straight to Happy Ending afterwards to meet a matching Christina.

Project No.8b Store Opening Party

Brandon looking very regal while he reads Pin-up magazine, wearing his Issey Miyake cardigan and pleated pants.

While I was lusting over the unwearable Margiela heels that I wrote about a couple days ago at the Project No. 8 store, Daniel, who is probably the most dedicated sales person I've ever met, invited my friend Erik and I to stop by the opening of their new men's store, Project No. 8b. It's always exciting to hear that in spite of tough economic times, some of my favorite boutiques are doing well, and even are expanding. Even though Erik had to go back Stockholm, I headed over to the opening party with Brandon.

Project No. 8b is roomier than the original tiny shop (which will become completely devoted to womenswear), while maintaining the same minimalist aesthetic. The store isn't actually set to open for another two weeks, and in the meantime is still encased in its plywood construction shell, which I am assuming will come down, but looks kinda cool nonetheless. Of course the most stylish crowd of men turned out for the event, and Brandon and I couldn't help but ogle a gaggle of boys in head-to-toe CDG. I wish I could have gotten better pictures, but we were literally smashed up against everyone else, and the few garments that they had put up for display were barely visible through all of the bodies. Anyway, I can't wait for the store to finally open, and to see what new goodies they have in store for the women's shop!

Margiela trainers and boxes of Schiesser underwear.

Inside the store there were hoards of well dressed men, including a crew of Japanese boys dressed in CDG. The store is basically a white glass cube that is currently encased in a plywood box.

A Margiela Oxford shoe with tons of tiny nails embedded in the heel. I suppose it's the male equivalent to my Margiela nail bootie?

Thanks Solestruck!

Since The Jeffery Campbell shoes on Solestruck were out of stock in my size, I went for these Betseyville clogs. I have wanted a pair of wooden clogs ever since Viktor and Rolf Fall 07.

I am wearing a vintage secretary blouse, Dior Homme tank, Six Six Sick skirt, and my new clogs!


Amazing!
I loved this show even though they got a lot of slack from it.

Here are the traditional Dutch clogs that I am going to import. I kind of want the blank ones so that I can go crazy with some paint!

Melissa shoes makes these SUPER COMFORTABLE clogs.
