Which “Sex & The City 2” Star Was Best Dressed At The Film’s World Premiere?

imageJust two months ago, we caught up with only 3/4 of the ever-stylish SATC 2 gang back at ShoWest (Kim Cattrall was too busy being fabulous in the UK). However, all 4 leading ladies were finally reunited just in time to rule the red carpet (err, blue carpet!) at the film’s much-anticipated World Premiere at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. While rumor has it that the obscenely expensive film wardrobe is rather disappointing (say it ain’t so!), the stars definitely didn’t disappoint in person in their gorgeous gowns! Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis both popped in refreshing neon shades, rocking Valentino and vintage Jean Desses, respectively. Kim Cattrall (in a slinky, sparkly gold Naeem Khan number) and Cynthia Nixon (in a strapless Carolina Herrera gown) donned more classic evening-appropriate looks. As stunning as they all looked on their big night, only one can be named best dressed! Vote for your favorite look below! Photo Credit: PR Photos

The New MTA Map

Next month, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority will unveil a resized, recolored and simplified edition of the well-known map, its first overhaul in more than a decade.

The new subway map makes Manhattan even bigger, reduces Staten Island and continues to buck the trend of the angular maps once used here and still preferred in many other major cities. Detailed information on bus connections that was added in 1998 has been considerably shortened.

Hermès Bids Adieu to Jean-Paul Gaultier

gaultier.jpgHermès, the elegant grand-père of the luxury goods world, has long been in the habit of designating each new year with a whimsical theme (dance, the sea, Indian fantasies). As we approach the halfway mark in this, the year of “tales to be told,” we’re not liking this latest story one bit. Hermès is parting ways with Jean-Paul Gaultier, who has served as artistic director of women’s ready-to-wear since 2003, when he succeeded Martin Margiela. For the past 13 seasons, Gaultier has proven that he can channel his enfant terrible energy into more refined, worldly, and classic looks, all the while keeping his own haute couture and ready-to-wear lines bubbling with avant garde ideas (last up at the couture: Marie Antoinette goes to Mexico!). The spring 2011 Hermès ready-to-wear collection, to be shown in Paris this October, will be Gaultier’s last for the house, but Hermès will retain its 45% stake in the designer’s business. Meanwhile, Hermès is bringing aboard Christophe Lemaire to fill the artistic director post. Don’t be fooled by his candy-colored, Euro-layered knitwear for Lacoste, Lemaire has apprenticed with Christian Lacroix, Jean Patou, and Yves Saint Laurent. His own line, launched in 1991 and with a luxe basics vibe akin to that of Sweden’s Acne, provides a much better idea of what we can expect from him at Hermès.

Oskar Zieta’s inflated steel furniture

pThey came about roughly two years ago but are only now making their American debut: A HREF=”http://www.architonic.com/ntsht/blow-up-sheet-metal/7000205″ Oskar Zieta’s stools and chairs/A, made out of freaking blow-molded Isteel,/I are being shown at Moss’ A HREF=”http://www.mossonline.com/category-exec/category_id/514″ Poetic License/A exhibit in NYC. /p

blockquotePOETIC LICENSE: deliberate deviations from normally applicable rules and practices. For its 2010 spring exhibition, Moss presents a gallery-wide celebration of rule breaking, envelope pushing and taking chances. The work of each of the designers featured in Poetic License personifies the attribute by which the exhibition is defined. Each pushes the boundary of what’s been done before in a variety of media, and each invents new forms, new processes, new methodologies./blockquote

pI can’t lie, I find the stools and chairs ugly as sin, yet cannot stop staring at them in awe of the production method: “Made by industrially blowing air into laser-cut sheets of welded steel.”/p
