Sex and the City cast at the world premiere in London

The cast of Sex and the City:The Movie were red carpet ready at the world premiere of the film in London (umm….I thought New York City was the movie’s fifth character).

Kristin Davis was in vintage Guy Laroche, Cynthia Nixon in plunging Calvin Klein, Kim Catrall in brilliant red Vivienne Westwood. Sarah Jessica Parker created a Carrie-esque fashion moment when she channeled Isabella Blow in an Alexander McQueen dress and Philip Treacy hat.

Model Daisy Lowe and singer Kelly Rowland were also on hand for the premiere. The movie (finally) opens in the US on May 30.

These Calvin Klein Jeans commercials starring a then-fifteen-year-old Brooke Shields got her banned from CBS and made her one of the most sought-after models of the 1980’s.

Director Richard Avedon filmed the commercials that captured the coltish supermodel wriggling into a pair of jeans and seductively purring the infamous come-on, “You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.” that catapulted her into the sex symbol stratosphere.

Too sexy for fifteen? You’ll have to ask Miley Cyrus about that.

Hip denim masters Ksubi are hooking up with Kanye West to develop a line of fashion eyewear for his Pastelle fashion brand. Ksubi for Pastelle will launch in October with limited edition gold frames that will retail for $2,000.

The line will be designed by Ksubi co-owner George Garrow, who previously worked with West on custom eyewear for stage and videos like the blinder sunglasses that he wore in the Stronger video.

“At our first design session at Kanye’s place in LA we spent two days talking and going over shapes,” Gorrow said. “He allowed me to push the design but playing on his aesthetic. He’s not afraid to try new things, and I guess that is why he is where he is.”

Fashion street cred proper.

Anna Wintour cartoon spoof on the cover of the NY Observer

When The New York Observer parodied the April cover of Vogue with a cartoon of an open-mouthed Anna Wintour bouncing a basketball as Advance Magazine chairman S.I. Newhouse Jr. hugs her, chuckles from cubicles were heard all over Midtown — including 4 Times Square. Now it appears André Leon Talley will own the last laugh: Observer owner Jared Kushner bought the original artwork from the illustrator, Victor Juhasz, for the Vogue editor at large. At least seven people placed serious bids — two of which were from within Condé Nast, including Talley and another mysterious bidder whose identity couldn’t be learned. In the past, original art commissioned for the Observer has said to have been sold for anywhere between $1,000 and $10,000. According to sources close to the weekly, Juhasz’s piece went for a price in the middle of that range. No word on whether the piece will hang in Talley’s office at Vogue — on display for Wintour and other staffers to view — or in his Hastings home. [source]
