Nicolas Ghesquiere (as always) hit another grand slam this Paris Fashion Week, receiving rave reviews for both the Balenciaga and Balmain collections he designed. Interestingly enough, the designer was M.I.A. at the Balenciaga afterparty at Le Baron, where guests like Alexander Wang, Hamish Bowles, Harley Viera-Newton, and Leigh Lezark were anxiously awaiting his arrival.

For those of us who couldn’t make it to Paris Fashion Week, those who could wanted to torture us a little more by throwing a lavish bash entitled “New York, New York” at the Le Regine, in honor of our great city, and made sure to party into the wee hours of the night. Hosted by Paul Sevigny, fashion’s favorite Derek Blasberg, Archetype Showroom’s Steven Rojas, the Misshapes, and Tommy Saleh, things got a little rowdy as you can see from the pictures.

Getting your sh-t together for Fashion Week seems like an impossible task if you’re a designer, so we are giving Alexander Wang an A+ not only for turning out some amazing pieces, but also putting on what might be the best afterparty, yet. At a Mobil gas station on 15th and 10th, it went beyond recession chic to really bring back that all-too-rare totally downtown cool. Mischa Barton, Kirsten Dunst, Jared Leto, Devon Aoki, Erin Wasson, and Zev Norotsky joined the designer to watch performances by Courtney Love and Santogold. Kristian Laliberte chugged Veuve from the bottle (hopefully his own), and there were burgers and fries to round out the ghetto glam. More»

[Erin Wasson in her signature cut-off jean shorts.

So although it may seem odd to choose an already established model as our choice for a Daily Style Phile. since we tend to bring you emerging and upcoming names, there is solid reasoning behind choosing model and surf-fan Erin Wasson.

While most people in the fashion industry are eager for any form of publicity they can scrounge up, this certainly does not ring true for Britt Aboutaleb, the associate editor for Fashionista.com, the style website with the cult-like following. When a picture of the 24 year-old popped up on Altamira only months ago, the responses, while all positive, were ones of “Oh, that’s what she looks like!”. And her PMc count remains at a low 5 pictures, despite the countless events she attends every week for her high profile job. So why does the adorable young editor shroud herself in an air of mystery? It’s certainly not due to a lack of style. Nor a lack of shyness - Fashionista.com is known for their “Life With” feature, an interview section of their site that takes an in-depth look at professionals and individuals involved in the fashion industry, with each lengthy one-on-one usually conducted by Britt. So why the hide-out? More»

Alice Dellal first came to our attention thanks to her significant other: Pierre Casiraghi, who is third in line for the throne of Monaco -not to mention, the grandson of Grace Kelly. (Random fact: Alice’s brother, Alex, is dating Pierre’s sister, Charlotte). We’re slightly embarrassed that this is the first thing we noticed the British beauty for, considering her modeling career, jet-set group of friends, and eclectic style. Not to mention, the controversial party girl is also to inherit a chunk of her grandfather’s 800 million fortune (in pounds, no less). Looks like real estate (and gambling) is the way to go. Especially if it helps get you some of the duds Alice wears. More»

It takes more than being born into the right family - and the right genes - to make it in the jet-set crowd and the highest circles of New York society anymore. But for Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, daughter of French Vogue Editor-in-Chief Carine Roitfeld, it’s been a walk in the park. The New York transplant has a resume rivaling the top people her age - or older - in the fashion industry. And with a degree from Parsons, killer internships, steady work experience, and a modeling career to boot, it’s no surprise. With a love life as interesting as her background in the field of fashion, and a style worthy of being featured in her mother’s magazine, we’re lucky to have her on our side of the Atlantic… More»

If you are wondering how it’s possible for a girl like Dree Hemingway to just pop onto the social scene out of nowhere at the age of 21, you may want to spend a second Google-ing her alter ego. No, the ballerina-cum-model isn’t in the witness protection program, but the great-granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway has spent the majority of her life flying under the radar as Dree Crisman. Since embracing her famous middle name, like her mother Mariel Hemingway, she has signed with Elite models, been involved in multiple acting projects, appeared in everything from Vogue to Interview and was booked exclusively for the Givenchy Fall ‘09 runway. But even more so than what’s she’s doing, we’re really interested in what Miss Hemingway is wearing… More»
