Dinner With Jean Paul Gaultier in Red Square, Moscow

I’m still trying to recover from yesterday’s tragic news.

The folks at Vogue Russia just posted a recent video of Aliona Doletskaya having a lovely chat with Jean Paul Gaultier.

Aliona is bad ass! How many chain-smoking, BRA-LESS (?), tank top-wearing, husky-voiced Editors who still looks chic while interviewing a legendary French designer in the middle of Red Square do you know? She’s irreplaceable!

We’ll miss you Aliona!!!!!!!!

Please come to America! There are tons of magazines out there who need your ferocity.

Words of Wisdom from Karl Lagerfeld

The folks at Chanel recently interviewed Karl Lagerfeld after his fall/winter 2010 haute couture show.

“Fashion is about going ahead, not about the memory. When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.“

Karl’s intellect and wit is UNMATCHABLE. He’s a true genius. Always a pleasure to watch his interviews.

Donatella Versace

Took this quick shot of Donatella when she took her bow after her spring/summer 2011 menswear show in Milan.

Say what you want but I, along with many people I spoke to after the
show, agreed that she looked terrific.

Mary Katrantzou on Mafia

Have you ever heard of/played the game ‘mafia’? I haven’t. Let fashion designer Mary Katrantzou (who makes some of the most spectacular printed dresses today) explain it to you.

It’s funny how Mary and I met for the first time — inside a lift with a fellow passenger who couldn’t decide whether to go to the third or fourth floor.

Next thing you know we’re having blinis, caviar and vodka shots!

Mary’s here in St. Petersburg for Aurora Fashion Week. Her show is on Sunday night.
