UnBeiges Top Ten Ways to Spend Fashions Night Out (Part 1)

mbmj_truck.jpg
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Marc by Marc Jacobs. And ice cream.

Fashion’s Night Out (FNO) is back (remember all the fun we had last year?)—thanks to Vogue, Mayor Bloomberg, the City of New York, the Council of Fashion Designers of America, and armies of exceedingly well dressed elves. This year’s retail-boosting celebration features events worldwide, but we’re focused on the flagship FNO taking place tonight in every fashionable nook of New York City. Today, between stops at the tents, we’ll be sharing with you our top ten ways to spend FNO in NYC, whether you’re on a mission to freshen up your fall wardrobe, party ’til you can rationalize a new Jil Sander coat, or just stalk Tom Ford. We begin, of course, with dessert:

  • Eat ice cream with Marc Jacobs. What would fashion be without Marc Jacobs and ice cream? Cast such thoughts from your mind and head to Bloomingdale’s in Soho (504 Broadway), where delicious baubles from the fall Marc by Marc Jacobs jewelry collection will be sold from an ice cream truck (pictured) customized by artist Will Broome. Follow your purchase of whimsical earrings shaped like tiny golden owl heads with a free cone. Meanwhile, at Bloomingdale’s uptown flagship (1000 Third Avenue), shoppers can decorate cookies with Tadashi Shoji. Impress the designer by arranging your frosting and sprinkles with a nod to the Renaissance frescoes of Piero della Francesca, Shoji’s inspiration for the spring 2011 collection that will take to the runway this morning at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Meanwhile, more frozen novelties await at Lord & Taylor (424 Fifth Avenue), where the Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream truck will be idling, and Odin (199 LaFayette Street), which will serve up special Brooklyn Brewery Brown Ale and honey-flavored ice cream created by designers Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos of Shipley & Halmos in collaboration with Guerrilla Ice Cream.

  • Load up on letterpress. Put down the ice cream and pick up some vintage-inspired accessories at Fossil (530 Fifth Avenue), which will spotlight artists featured in its Long Live Art project. Jim Sherraden from famed print house Hatch Show Print will be creating custom letterpress art from 6:00 to 11:00 p.m. and also giving away original works as a gift with any $100 purchase. Another Fossil outpost (38 West 34th Street) will host the crafty Dolan Geiman, who creates work from vintage and recycled materials. Stop in to watch him screenprinting custom art all afternoon.

    New Designs of I-35W Bridge Memorial Unveiled

    0910remmin.jpg

    Speaking of memorials (we’re starting this day gloomy, aren’t we?), new designs have just been released for the far less contentious tribute to those who lost their lives just over three years ago in Minneapolis’ I-35W bridge collapse. Designed by local landscape architect Tom Oslund, the Remembrance Garden will sit close by the original site, near the water and in viewing distance of the bridge’s starchitect-absent, more practical replacement. Looking somewhat different from the original architectural renderings, the memorial will now run 81 feet (in reference to the August 1st collapse) in a straight line instead of a circle, and will continue to feature 13 beams with water running over them, also references to the tragedy. Although suffering some financial hurdles after it was announced back in 2008, the project recently received a push to help it reach its budget of $1.5 million thanks to a portion of the court settlement connected to the disaster. Minnesota Public Radio reports that this will make it the most expensive memorial ever built in the state. Current plans are to have it open for the fourth anniversary of the collapse, next August.

    Form 3 by fuseproject for Jimmyjane

    This waterproof sex toy has been designed by San Francisco designer Yves Béhar of fuseproject for sex toy brand JimmyJane.

    Form 3 by fuseproject for Jimmyjane

    The text that follows is from fuseproject:


    FORM 3 is the second installment of our PLEASURE TO THE PEOPLE series of products with Jimmyjane. Following the success of the Form2 bestseller, Form3 adds a whole new dimension to human touch, and exemplifies Jimmyjane’s commitment to design, quality and enjoyment.

    Form 3 by fuseproject for Jimmyjane

    Form 3 offers an entirely new approach to pleasure. Its slim, curved profile flexes to meet the body – press in the center and the soft silicone touchpad extends, focusing the vibration exactly where it counts. The material and patented engineering innovation of the product amplifies touch, putting sensation at your fingertips.

    Form 3 by fuseproject for Jimmyjane

    “No one had high expectations of the design and functionality of their sexual products until Jimmyjane came along,” says Béhar. “Form3 is an excellent example of how innovation can transform experience – it features an ultrathin membrane that distorts under pressure, making tactile contact and local vibration uniquely adaptable.”

    This new addition to the company’s best-selling line of form Vibrators incorporates Jimmyjane’s proprietary Waterproof Recharging Technology, This system enables all the Form3 vibrators to be completely washable, bath-friendly, and to never require replacement batteries.

    Blasted Vase and Side Table by Kai Linke

    Blasted Familii by Kai Linke

    Frankfurt designer Kai Linke has created a series of vases and side tables by sand-blasting timber to enhance the texture of the grain then casting the resulting shapes in ceramic.

    Blasted Familii by Kai Linke

    Linke presented the new pieces in his ongoing Blasted Familii series at Tendence fair in Frankfurt last month.

    Blasted Familii by Kai Linke

    “Blasted Familii is a series of simple, blasted objects made out of spruce wood,” he explains.

    Blasted Familii by Kai Linke

    “The objects appear to be rough and aged but at the same time the wooden relief tells another story.”
