Marc Jacobs’ significant other, Lorenzo Martone, sported an adorable “Do Me In The Park Marc” House of Holland tee at the Cinema Society screening and after-party of He’s Just Not That Into You. Although Jacobs wasn’t present himself, Martone proudly advocated his fantasy PDA…so if you see the two love birds in Central Park, well, you know…

Thanks Fashion Week Daily!

If you were one of the hundreds who reported UFO sightings while walking through Central Park back in October, fear no more! No, it wasn’t aliens or the FBI who brought an end to the Chanel Mobile Art exhibit…it was none other than the economy! The only reason I sound half excited about this is because those jerks wouldn’t let us into the exhibit, despite the fact that we had tickets, because we were five minutes late! Honestly, if those Chanel umbrella carrying security guards got any snobbier, I’d be able to see down their noses and right into their pathetic $8.00/hour souls. If you ask me, the exhibit wasn’t about the a fashion or the art…it was about the buck…and they even failed at getting that!

In all due respect though, it is a damn shame what the economy is doing to fashion and the arts. Those in London, Paris and Moscow looking forward to the exhibit are fresh out of luck. For their sake, lets hope Chanel resurrects the project once things get a little brighter. 

Thanks NY Mag!

Chanel has just paid a steep price of $400,000 to The Central Park Conservatory, in exchange to take over our lives. Beginning October 20th, Chanel will have their own building in Central Park, to showcase contemporary art inspired by… Chanel. As much as we all love Lagerfeld, a huge building in the park, to glorify the classic line, is not necessary.

Art exhibits in the park are interesting but risky. Remember Christo’s orange gates throughout the park? It was wack, and a waste of money. Coincidently, this is also a waste of money, and predictably disappointing. While it may be inspiring and provocative, it will only cater to a very small appreciative audience. The dog walkers and cyclers will be infuriated. As for buildings, in the park, Tavern on the Green is all we need.
