- Going Public
Billed as the largest public fashion show in New York City history—unless, of course, you count the public displays of fashion that break out every day on the streets of NYC—last night’s inaugural Fashion’s Night Out runway extravaganza at Lincoln Center featured 171 looks on 157 models. “It was a visual onslaught,” Phillip Lim declared. “Between all the gorgeous clothes, the models, and the people, who knew where to look?” First, Gisele and a posse of 11 other boldfaced girls, including Lara Stone, Karlie Kloss, and Naomi Campbell, made their entrance on a double-decker bus of the sort usually reserved for camera-toting tourists. They were quickly followed by many, many more in sultry jazz-baby dresses, Mad Men-esque fifties silhouettes, and monochromatic, minimal suits, among other notable fall trends.
The kicker, though? Not the front row that included Blake Lively, Serena Williams, and Roger Federer (who has a match to play at the U.S. Open today), but a raucous surprise performance by Pharrell and his N.E.R.D crew.
“This was my first fashion show ever,” newly signed New York Knick Amar’e Stoudemire said post-show. “I’m definitely going to check out some more. It’s one of the benefits of being in New York.”

Tue 7th Sep 2010 - Frisky Business
A tight-knit group of old college friends come together for a wedding in The Romantics. In that spirit, the cast reunion for last night’s Cinema Society screening of the film (which was co-sponsored by J.Crew) turned out to be a bit of a love-in—even if this was less a case of college buddies than a fraternity of Us Weekly cover subjects.
Filming on an indie budget in a small town in Long Island, lead actress Katie Holmes (yes, apparently her world encompasses indie budgets and small towns) got plenty of quality time, alongside her fellow cast mates, at the seaside mansion where The Romantics is set. That included dinners at a local joint called the Frisky Oyster. “We really had nowhere else to go. It kind of felt like summer camp,” Adam Brody explained pre-screening. The “we” in question apparently included spouses. When Holmes’ famous husband breezed by on the carpet on his way into the theater, Brody merely shrugged. “Yeah, well, that’s just Tom.”
Holmes and Cruise stuck around for the after-party at Gansevoort Park Avenue, where they were joined by Josh Duhamel, who revealed his tender side. “I’ve cried at weddings where I don’t even know the two people that are getting married,” he admitted, adding that he surprised himself by holding it together during his nuptials last year to Fergie.
Holmes made a habit of bringing cupcakes on set, where a reportedly very well-behaved Suri Cruise “was shushing people” when director Galt Niederhoffer called “action,” according to Malin Akerman. In short, there was no evidence of the tortured misbehavior of the two main characters in the film, not-so-old flames (played by Holmes and Duhamel) who meet up at a wedding where only one of them is tying the knot. Holmes clarified that the love triangle is one unconventional arrangement that she’s never been a part of. “Thank God,” she said. “It’s a little stressful, as you can see in the film.”
