Carlos Campos
[Carlos with models at Upstairs]
Want to know who was able to organize the first sit down dinner ever at the hidden Soho hotspot Upstairs this last Monday?? It was Carlos Campos and his team (Blackbook magazine and Kristian Laliberte) who invited 40 special guests to celebrate and view the spring/summer 2008 line of this acclaimed menswear designer and recent finalist for the Ecco Domani prize awarded by the CFDA. Never heard of the guy???
Well you better start taking note. He's already dressed the likes of Justin Timberlake, the Killers, the Scissor Sisters, and a handful of New York Socials including Luigi Tadini, Antony Todd, and Kristian Laliberte. The dinner included filmmaker James Tully, photographer Douglas Friedman, Alvaro Salazar from Men's Vogue, Crispin Glover and Annabel Vartanian among others. The party headed over to Beatrice Inn afterwards to greet other Campos fans including Annabel Dexter Jones. His collection, on models above, can be described as a pastiche of miami colors with rich fabrics, tailored cuts, and shocking linings.
Plovgh, the new online farmers market
Who knew that the farming world had a trend? Well, Mallory Sustick, a Brooklyn bartender, works like a dog to maintain, promote and advance the online farmer's market startup Plovgh that began after noticing a need for more local farm market distribution.

This dinner gets the D-List of the Week Award. On the plus side for Kristian, he has some new glamour shots to beef up his Manhunt profile. Leven Rambin and Annabel Vartanian would go to the opening of a Walmart. More importantly, the clothes are totally uninspiring... and being a "finalist" for Ecco Domani (which is not awarded by the CFDA) translates to "he didn't make the cut." Lastly, who throws a fashion dinner in a dingy nightclub?!?!

i just looked it up on patrick mcmullan and i disagree. it seemed like a real dinner for editors...getting alvaro out is a huge accomplishment and im a little obsessed with crispin. plus its kind of dope to do the unexpected....enough of the dinners at BG already. secondly to use dandy guys format, i looked up pictures of carlos campos show. dude are we looking at the same collection???? its really lanvin meets like bruno meets jil sander. i love it
