Club kid-turned-fashionista Richie Rich held yet another birthday party for his best buddy/business partner Chris Coffee. Though the party lacked hunky cowboys and scantily-clad cowgals trying their hand at a mechanical bull like last year’s, the venue (Garden in the Sky) has some amazing views. The guestlist was, like Richie’s fashion sense, eclectic: More»

On Thursday night I was able to combine all my passions into one event: skincare, fun social/good friends, Mac’n'Cheese, the East Village and Chloe Sevigny. Being the East Village’s newest resident (I moved here in February) I was happy to truck up a few blocks to the legenday Kiehl’s shop on 3rd Avenue to celebrate Kiehl’s history in the East Village (since 1851 if you wondered) and support the Doe Fund. Begin a beauty binger, it’s never hard to twist my arm to show to show up at a place like Kiehl’s. I was not at a loss for good company - This place turned out some really great celebs:
“When a came to New York I had a bag of glitter and a vanity mirror in my hand…and they were like, “You’re a club kid we’ve been looking for you!”
Sometimes you need someone that reminds you to not take yourself too seriously, to play dress up even if no one else is playing along, to be less judgmental of people, and to let loose and engage in some good clean fun every now and then. Richie Rich has been that person for me. Don’t let the ex-club kid status fool you. This guy has accomplished more than most “average Joes” out there, creating an empire that extends far beyond the Heatherette clothing line. He is put-together, articulate, and extremely charming; perhaps the opposite of what many who have heard about him imagine him to be.
When I think of New York City, Richie Rich is one of the images that comes to mind. He’s also part of the reason I know this city is not dead. Last week, I had the honor of interviewing Richie, along with good friend and business partner Chris Coffee. He came wearing one of his signature hats, and an uncharacteristically laid back tshirt and jean combo. He looked great. He proceeded to give me the inside juice on all of his upcoming projects, dispelling rumors of Heatherette’s end, and giving me exclusive, never talked about details on his new ventures. I will, no doubt, forever remember this rare afternoon spent on the rooftop on Bowery, getting candid with Richie Rich.
Where are you from and what was your childhood like?
I’m from California, right outside San FranciscoI had the perfect American Childhood with two older brothers. Just really fun and playing outside, building clubhouses and I don’t know I guess I was a tomboy.

GURU energy drinks, flavored rum shots, and a mechanical bull? This may sound a little nuts but when a party is hosted by Richie Rich of Heatherette its only to be expected. The birthday boy, 25 year old Chris Coffee, was the hit of the night and his party consisted of an extremely diverse crowd. The boys from Parker were there, along with Joshua Winkler media director of In The Mo, and DJ Spero worked the turn tables.
