Johnathan Adler And Simon Doonan Say “I Do”

Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler have just tied the knot!  The power couple (Simon the creative director of Barney’s and author, and Jonathan the uber popular interior designer) have been together for 14 years!  They signed their marriage documents at City Hall in San Francisco yesterday, with a more formal Jewish ceremony in the afternoon at a hotel.  The bachelor party was at Zuni Cafe, breakfast at Boulette’s Larder in the Ferry Plaza, and dinner at Chez Panisse.  The couple plans on going to Big Sur for their honeymoon.

Hurray! For Bill Cunningham! Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

“New Yorkers have their own distinct take on fashion, and no one chronicles that style better than Bill Cunningham,”-Jim Gold, president and CEO, Bergdorf Goodman [Marketwatch]

Last night, Bergdorf’s, the place where only the most fashionable shop, opened it’s doors to help celebrate Bill Cunningham, the man who’s been capturing said fashion for his long running and extremely popular New York Times columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours”.  Both columns appear weekly in the Sunday Styles secion of the newspaper and online at NYTimes.com.  There could have not been a better setting to showcase his work either, as he has been known to hang around the area capturing the city’s zeitgeist for quite sometime, likely with his bicycle in tow.

All of his subjects were there to shout HURRAY!  HURRAY!! for Bill Cunningham and his ability to make us look beautiful!!

1. Rufus Wainwright: “The Greatest Songwriter of our time” looked more like the greatest dresser of our time at his own “Last Song Of The Summer Concert” at Robert Wilson’s Watermill Center.
2. Olivia Sterns and Jason Alexander: At same concert. With their bright summer colors, these two look like yummy eye candy.
3. Stacy Engman: I love her style.  Not only does she have the requite summer concert headband, but she added the one glove to complete the look.
4. Hugh Grant: At Evian’s “A taste of polo” in Watermill.  If you thought Polo was over, think again.  The real fun looks like it’s just beginning…if I knew William Thacker from Notting Hill was going to really go all English on us this weekend I may have actually showed up on the fields for a Saturday.

1. Anna Sui.  At the Gossip Girl Party For Designer Eric Daman at Henri Bendel.  I love people that take risks.  Also, Anna looks like a super hero ready to save the world, and even her boots are in on it.
2. Marc Rey and Eric Daman: At same event. What do we think of the gold wrap necklace that Eric is sporting?
3. Alina Cho: At the “Music for Mercy” benefit for Darfur hosted by Sarah Silverman.  Alina may be the only woman on the planet that can pull of this dress.
4. Don Heslop and His Princess: At the closing day of Bridgehampton Polo.  Because who wouldn’t want to be escorted around by a purple princess?

Andrew Saffir and his Cinema Society (along with SONY Cierge) held one of their infamous screenings. This time it was for “The Wackness”, a movie staring Ben Kingsley, Mary-Kate Olsen, Josh Peck and Olivia Thirlby, and was directed by Jonathan Levine, all of whom were remarkably present at the screening and then joined dinner at the Gramercy Park Rooftop.  Black & White may not scream summer to you, but it seemed to be the theme of the night:

1. Mary Kate Olsen: MK looks hot.  I haven’t seen either of these twins in awhile and it’s a welcome change to see her so polished in a white kimono-like dress.
2. Olivia Palermo: No one but Olivia could ever pull off those pants! She is smokin’!
3. Trish Goff: I’m a sucker for her vest, and she is the #1 example of the black meets white trend going on here.
4. Zoe Kravitz: Zoe’s got the “My dad’s a rockstar” look perfected to a tee!

Picking At PMC

1. Sale Johnson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Steven Klein, and Kelly Klein: At the “Mane Event” for Amaryllis Farm benefit at Steven Klein’s.  Madonna was a “no-show” but lovely Gwyneth graced the Hampton socials with her presence.  I’m digging Steve Klein’s shirt!
2. Debbie Bancroft: At Jackie Rogers’ showcase in the Hamptons.  Debbie looks smokin!
3. Kristian Laliberte sandwich: At the National Underwear Party.  Kristian must have been in seventh heaven sandwiched between these underwear models!

The Royal Ronsons

[All photos by Jenny Gage and Tom Betterton for Harper's Bazaar]

Sometimes the real story is better than anything fiction could come up with.  You can’t make up the Ronsons. Not even if your name is Wes Anderson…though the absurdities and eccentric natures of his The Royal Tenenbaums comes close, both the products of “an unusual upbringing and artistic environment.”

In case you’re lost, quickly; coolest mommy of the decade, Ann Dexter-Jones married Laurence Ronson (British real estate heir and band manager).  They brought Mark, Charlotte, and Samantha (twins) into the world. Mark, 32, is a hot shot music producer, most recently known for creating Amy Winehouse.  Charlotte does fashion, and Samantha is a popular NY DJ (and dating Lindsay Lohan).

1. Jennifer Missoni: Looks fresh as a flower at the premiere of “Pineapple Express” in NYC
2. Patrick McMullan: Surrounded by Underwear models at the National Underwear Party at Espace.  This is such a funny photo of the photographer who, no doubt, had a hard time concentrating on capturing all the mayhem this night.
3. Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, and Michael Kors: At the Cinema Society’s screening of Iron Man.  It’s a Gwyneth sandwich!  The star and mommy looks absolutely stunning.  I want that dress.

Picking At PMC

1. Christie Brinkley and Petra Nemcova: At the Wild Wild West Family Day Carnival to benefit the Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Diamond Ranch in Watermill.  Anyone would be lucky to have either one of these beauties.  I am digging Petra’s new bangs…something few could pull off.
2. Gavin Jacobsen, Jamie Jacobsen, Paul Jacobsen, and Morgan Jacobsen: At same Wild West Carnival. This family puts the “fun” in “family fun time”.  Seriously, cutest familial unit I’ve seen all summer. Yee-haw!
3. Martin and Edith Segal: The 42nd Mostly Mozart Festival at the Lincoln Center. If #2 was cutest family, these two take cutest couple honor.  They were clearly MEANT for each other.  Their matching bifocals top off their matching look.
4. Mario Buatta and Steven Stolman: The Hamptons Designer Showhouse gala preview in Sagaponack.  I love a man that’s not afraid of a little color or patterns.  These two are not afraid to push the style envelope.

2. Eric Spear and David Traitel: I haven’t seen Eric since June, but, from the looks of it his style hasn’t taken a break this summer.  I’m obsessed with dock shoes right now…his look perfectly worn in.
3. Jesper Lannung and Liam McMullan: Oh Liam, Liam, Liam, let me count the ways….
4. Peter Smith and Sonya van Bebber: I love Sonya’s fitted dress.  And Peter? Well the kid cleans up:)
