Photographer Corrine Day is rumored to have died. She was only in her forties but has been suffering from a brain tumor, so, though I hope the rumor is wrong, I’m feeling like it might be true. For those of you not familiar with her, she took the loveliest early photographs of Kate Moss, capturing [...]

Live Young

Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have always been strongly opposed to dressing dogs – or any pet for that matter – up in people clothes, as they are animals, not people. But there are instances in which exceptions can be made. Pony (pictured above) has been a fan of both Living Young [...]

Os Gemeos: Bem-vindo Back to NYC!
August 8, 2010 – 11:28 am
They’re baaaack. Brazilian graffiti artists Os Gemeos climbed aboard two 80-foot cherry pickers on Friday to begin painting a massive yellow man similar to those they’ve created in Sao Paulo, Berlin and London.

Today’s Mail
July 14, 2010 – 7:14 pm
I generally hate it when the post office leaves those sticky “we tried to deliver it, but you weren’t here” notes on my door (I don’t actually believe they ever ring the bell to see if anyone is home. I think they just see it wont fit through the mail slot and leave), but today [...]
Happy Birthday Polina!

Dossier fashion director Polina Aronova celebrated her birthday Friday night at Le Bain on the (very cold) roof at the Standard. The very cold part feels like a dream now.
