Curtains Up At New York?s Newest Gallery Of Note
New York’s newest gallery, Algus Greenspon, is a bona fide labor of love—emphasis on labor. It’s been two years in the works, and only a few months ago, co-founder and director Amy Greenspon (who will run the gallery with Mitchell Algus) was referring to the Morton Street space as “the puddle,” thanks to the poky [...]

Sauvage Love
Adrien Sauvage is an unusual multi-talent—a former basketball player turned London’s coolest new suitmaker. Never mind that the photo essay/ad campaign he shot for the line, starring Mark Ronson (above), Coco Sumner (top), Bill Nighy, Terry Gilliam, and an 82-year-old former Harlem Globetrotter is called “This Is Not A Suit.” And there’s another talent still, [...]

Ron Galella Reminisces, The Lady Dior Gets Larger Than Life, And More?
Did Jackie O.—arguably the paparazzo get of the sixties—secretly love being photographed by Ron Galella (pictured, left stalking his prey)? The lensman seems to think so—though based on his description of their one conversation (”You’ve been hunting me for three months now”), we’re less sure. [The Moment]One of fashion’s ultimate boundary crossers is, no surprise, [...]

Whoo Is Oh Land?
A former ballerina with a funny name may soon be the fashion set’s new favorite music act. Either way, expect to hear more about Danish electro-pop artist Oh Land (pictured) in coming months. Sony’s Epic Records is putting out her EP in September and her debut album in early 2011, and Missoni has gotten on [...]

Smythson for Blokes
Smythson has been crafting extremely fine (and, let’s be honest, extremely expensive) stationery and leather goods for over a century now, since Frank Smythson first opened his doors on London’s New Bond Street. But in recent years, the offerings, while largely unisex, skewed toward the women’s market. But this holiday season, the men are getting [...]

Cat Power
Way back last October, a curious trend emerged from the Spring 2010 shows. Call it a case of cat-scratch fever—designers and hip girls were all feeling cats. Paris was just about meowing, with Miuccia Prada’s kitty-print collection for Miu Miu, which found (alongside daisies and reclining nudes) cartoon felines printed on collars, dresses, tops, and [...]

Beach-Tripping With Vanessa Traina
Now available for your next Rockaway Beach excursion: Proenza Schouler’s tie-dyed, racerback tank, the latest in their ongoing series of online exclusives. To celebrate the occasion, PS designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernadez took Vanessa Traina to those very same Rockaways for a short video, shot by Gregory Mitnick, of her mostly standing still and [...]

JV Turns Ten, Lara Stone Goes To Court, The Southeast Is In The Pink, And More?
John Varvatos celebrates his tenth anniversary in business this year, and, in typical rocker style, is cranking it up to 11: He’ll unveil a new, Sgt. Pepper-inspired ad campaign, throw a massive party in his Bowery (formerly CBGB) store, and release a limited-edition rock star necessity—a new pair of shades (pictured). [WWD]Lara Stone gets litigious: [...]

Behind-The-Scenesters: Natalie Joos
Designers design. Photographers photograph. Models model. That much—in broad strokes, at least—is clear. But what about the artists, technicians, and industry insiders, often unpublicized and underappreciated, who help to get clothes and accessories made and shown? Call them Behind-the-Scenesters: people who shape our experience of fashion but never take a bow on the catwalk or [...]

Helmut Lang, Floating In Space
Your local prog-rock obsessive is probably pretty close to combustion at the moment: It’s only about 48 hours until Spiritualized, the high-nineties drone rockers, arrive at Radio City Music Hall to play a one-night-only concert version of their 1997 masterpiece, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space. The band—and Floating in particular—has earned just [...]
