Nothing Says Summer Like Chandon and Ping-Pong

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:09:03 +0000

Summer got an early start last night at The Standard Biergarten where Chandon launched its Limited Edition Summer Bottle in collaboration with SPiN New York. Celebs including Estelle, Charlotte Ronson, Mario Cantone, Lorenzo Martone and the Patriots’ Bret Lockett enjoyed mini-bottles of Chandon, bespoke cocktails and sumptuous snacks while balls flew in every which way during a pro ping-pong tournament. Check out some pics and a video from the event after the jump!

#NYFW Trend Watch: Orange Is Burning

Jessica Lapidos — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 20:11:59 +0000

Ah, that rich citrus scent wafts smokily through New York Fashion Week as many designers are using burnt orange as a carrying color throughout their collections. With varying tones of vibrance, this hue skews dark, often mixed with maroons and deep aqua greens á la Costello Tagliapietra and Band of Outsiders. In a thousand textures and a million ways, expect to see more orange burning to the ground in Fall 2012.

FashionIndie Straps on Its Glass Slippers to Go to the Ball

Lester Brathwaite — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:07:39 +0000

Last Friday, Nicole, Mac and Amanda helped me pick out a suitable black tie outfit to attend the New York Botanical Garden’s 12th Annual Winter Wonderland Ball. Considering the majority of my wardrobe consists of harem pants and the occasional billowy blouse, my closet was ill-equipped to meet the challenge. Thus we made an Indie field trip over to our local H&M and in a matter of minutes we had whipped up a say-something formal look — all for under $200, thank you. I was glad we had made the detour as, upon walking in, I was immediately confronted by a room full of gorgeous gowns and immaculate tuxedos. The Bronx, even in the alleged claws of Jennifer Lopez, had never seemed so glamorous.

Nina Garcia, Tinsley Mortimer, Derek Warburton, Charlotte Ronson, Chris Benz and CNN“s Alina Cho were among the well-appointed attendees, while liquor sponsor Domaine de Canton kept the ballers well lubricated with a host of refreshing cocktails. Bill Cunningham donned his best — and in all likeliness, only — tuxedo to capture the scene, including the 20th Annual Holiday Train Show. Calling it a”Train Show” is a bit of an understatement since the Garden’s Enid A. Haupt Conservatory was turned into a miniature train town, featuring the most stunning scaled-to-size architecture I’ve seen since Barbie‘s Dream Italian Villa.

Besides an excuse to dress up and be fabulous, the Wonderland Ball also supports the Garden’s world-renowned Children’s Education programs, allowing children of all ages, particularly underserved children in the Bronx, an opportunity to learn about nature in engaging ways through workshops and hands-on activities. While it may sound like a very serious and somber affair, the night was a blast, particularly after the DJ took to the turntables. There’s nothing quite like seeing a stately woman in a feathered gown shaking her tail-feather to LMFAO.

Click through the gallery for images from the Winter Wonderland Ball — courtesy of Patrick McMullan and Will Raggozino — and try your hand at Domaine de Canton’s signature cocktails with these handy recipes:

1 ounce of Domaine de Canton topped with Champagne. (served in a champagne flute and Garnished with a Wild Hibiscus flower)

Vena Cava for Uniqlo Launches Tomorrow: Sneak Peek Here

Jessica Lapidos — Wed, 11 May 2011 17:49:27 +0000

Some fashion news we can afford to hear about: Vena Cava for Uniqlo launches tomorrow! The much anticipated collaboration kicks off May 12th, at the Uniqlo in Soho tomorrow with the delicate beauty you’d expect from the design duo of Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai. They’ve mixed their soft eye with the technologically advanced and well-priced fabrications of the major Japanese brand.

This collaboration is part of Uniqlo’s initiative to celebrate New York designers. Costello Tagliapietra and Charlotte Ronson have launched collabs there in the last month, and we saw Philip Lim there over the winter.

Each piece is no more than $29.90 – a freaking steal for any of these coveted designers! So thanks Uniqlo for making their stunning aesthetic available for a price that doesn’t jeopardize our first borns.

How to Mix Spring Prints Without Looking Like a Clown

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 20:58:39 +0000

Unless you’re oblivious to the current fashion forecast, the weatherman is calling for prints, prints and more prints. Mixing two prints in the same outfit is an art form that can look absolutely stunning or terribly frightful. Check out our tips for mixing prints so you can look like an icon, not an idiot.

1. Mix patterns that have similar prints or forms. It’s important to keep a theme going. In the below D&G look from the Spring 2011 collection, both the prints of the shirt and skirt are florals. With an added splash of the peachy color in the top, the look is coherent to the eye. Another example is the leopard tunic and pants from the Blumarine Spring 2011 show.

D&G Spring 2011

Blumarine Spring 2011

2. Keep an outfit consistent with patterns that share similar shapes. As you can see in the look from the Etro Spring 2011 collection, the blue and white squares from the top repeat in the skirt. Although the skirt is busy and the top is tamer, the eye seamlessly moves from top to bottom without getting lost in the patterns.

Etro Spring 2011

3. Repeat the same pattern in different colors and sizes when pairing. This elegant look from the Jil Sander Spring 2011 show combines vertical stripes with horizontal and a bold color with a muted one. It works because the patterns are the same size. The look from the Prada Spring 2011 line can also be referenced for the use of the same exact pattern in different sizes.

Jil Sander Spring 2011

Prada Spring 2011

4. Patterns containing the same color tones go well together. In the Charlotte Ronson look, navy keeps the patterns consistent even though they’re completely different. Hard stripes and soft florals mesh well because they have color in common. Event the craziest mix of patterns can look coherent when color stays consistent. Red and blue throughout the entire outfit make this Wunderkind look a breeze to wear.

Charlotte Ronson Spring 2011

Wunderkind Spring 2011

5. Similar fabrics make two different prints look like they were meant to be. Both the top and the skirt of this Bensoni Spring 2011 look are made of light, airy fabrics. It’s good to keep cotton with cotton, silk with silk, you get the picture.

RUNWAY: Charlotte Ronson Spring/Summer 2011

I usually don’t LOVE collections, at least it’s very rare that I can honestly say that I loved an entire collection, but I really did enjoy the Charlotte Ronson show. The pieces were not only original, they were beautifully draped, and even though they were see through, making them not as wearable as I’d like, this is what makes them dramatic and very Ronson. Loving the bright colors, the hits of floral prints, and the embellishments.

STATUS Q: Party Like It’s 2010, Part 1

Rachel Khona, Q Model Booker — Tue, 18 May 2010 17:22:00 +0000

Last week was so crazy I can’t believe I’m not still hungover. First, one of my homegirls and I went to see Iggy Pop and The Virgins perform at the Ray Ban party, very appropriately held in Williamsburg. One of our models, Jacob, got this great close up of Iggs. Keep reading…

Unfortunately my photography skills were not as good. Case in point, exhibit B.

Nonetheless the show was pretty bad ass, (duh), although I was puzzled as to why the lead singer of The Virgins was dressed like a mime. Kind of hard to take him seriously singing about chicks when he’s dressed like the French version of a clown.

Of course the requisite celebs/chronic partiers showed up, Kate Bosworth, Waris, Chloe Sevigny, Kelly Osbourne, Juliette Lewis, Jessica Stam, Charlotte Ronson, and my bff famed rock photog Mick Rock (photo of me and Mick).

What’s interesting is that this season Ray Ban is using not models but musicians for its latest campaign. And not just any musicians, but specifically indie rockers such as like The Plastiscines, Free Energy, and We Are Scientists. If the previews they had displayed are any indication of what’s to come, Ray Ban has totally just upped it’s cool factor.

Charlotte Ronson’s Fall 2010 collection was designed specifically with the vagabond jetsetter in mind. With harem pants, turbans and belted tunics galore, the feel is predominately Middle East, but the floral prints and leather jackets bring the collection back to its Western origin. Colors like coral, fuscia and light royal blue spiced up the predominately black and grey palate.

What Recession? Condé Nast Helps Us Forget.

Adrien Field — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:41:55 +0000

A friend of mine and I were having a conversation the other day about the economic situation (see, I’m not so vapid after all!). I was making a point that here in New York we’re largely sheltered from the issues affecting the rest of the world. “We don’t live in reality, we live in Manhattan,” I said. The more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a truism: does a falling economy make a sound if no one’s there to hear it? Reflecting on this week’s set of events, I realized there was a huge disparity between the daily headlines and the daily life in New York’s media microcosm.

Just last week there were reports that receptionists at Condé Nast were being given the boot and editors would have to (gasp!) answer their own phones. Amid this news, it came as quite a surprise that the same company spared no expense to throw the Condé Nast Traveler Hot List Party at chic Madison Avenue dining spot, Pranna.

Though I had no idea what to expect as I exited the cab on the side of 28^th street, the step-and-repeat with an actual red carpet set up outside immediately set the tone for the rest of the evening. I waited for Kelly Bensimon of The Real Housewives of New York to finish up on the carpet before my turn came around. After posing for photos, I was whisked inside where cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and fabulousness awaited.

The dimly lit restaurant exploded with light every few seconds as camera flashbulbs went off inside, illuminating whichever startlet or social had just arrived. After securing a drink downstairs and scoping out the provenance of the hors d’oeuvres, we made our way to the VIP area on the second floor.

This cordoned off section seemed to be the location of a Real Housewives reunion as we first bumped into Alex McCord with husband Simon Van Campen before noticing Jill Zarin and her auburn hair floating around. Nestled in the back with friends was Lydia Hearst wearing a green art-deco frock while two seats away was the stunning Katrina Bowden who’s taken advantage of her role on 30 Rock to become a staple on the event scene.

As if on a mission to disprove the recession, the next night Lucky Magazine—another Condé Nast title—threw a party with designers/socialites Charlotte Ronson and Shoshanna Lonstein Gruss to celebrate their swimwear collaboration.

We might have used one of Ronson and Gruss’s bathing suits to swim through all the free-flowing champagne coming from the open bar at Above Allen in the Thompson LES but alas they were not on display. No, this event was a social and celebratory one with mother Ann Dexter-Jones coming to support her daughter. Lindsay Price, most recently of Lipstick Jungle, made an appearance as did Real Housewife Jill Zarin once again. For some reason that woman looks like she’ll clock you if you look at her the wrong way.

As we looked out the floor-to-ceiling windows upon a glittering downtown cityscape, champagne and camera flashes abounding behind us, it dawned on me: if you can live in a fantasy, why not? We all come to New York to chase a dream so why not wrap yourself in it like a plush cashmere blanket? Grab a class of champagne, barbeque shrimp puff and smile for the cameras.

ADDICT: J.C. Penney Advertising Like One of the Cool Kids

Amanda Gabriele — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 14:00:44 +0000

I’ve always associated J.C. Penney with oxford shirts and penny loafers. Why, you ask? Because Catholic grade school required that we wear them. I’ve never considered the department store as fashionable, but I never complained because a trip to that particular mall meant a trip to Deb. And if you don’t remember the glory days of Deb, it was where I bought everything to resemble the style of Cher Horowitz. Regardless, this advertisement for J.C. Penney featuring the Charlotte Ronson line isn’t half bad (even though the clothes really aren’t that cute). Now if only Deb would come out with a Clueless line, I’d be set for life.

Don’t Waste Your $: Charlotte Ronson for JC Penney

Kirby Marzec — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:03:35 +0000

I may not be the biggest fan of collaboration lines that lack designer aesthetic for the sake of affordability, but Charlotte Ronson definitely didn’t sacrifice her style for the JC Penney collaboration. Come February 2009, Ronson’s boring, mainstream and lackluster designs will hit the shelves of JC Penney in her collaboration collection ‘I Heart Ronson.’ Well, I’m sure you can already tell that I don’t ‘Heart Ronson.’ More floral print, more stripes, more plain sweaters…great…I can get this stuff anywhere looking ten times better! You may disagree with me completely and think these photos look great, but take into account the styling! Wear any of these pieces alone and yeah, it will look like you spent $9.99 for it at JC Penney. Come on fashion industry, bring me a collaboration i’ll actually like for once!

Really? Wayfayers? Are You Stuck In Last Years Ville or What?

Screaming Tokyians went running down the streets when they heard the star of such international hits as “I Know Who Killed Me” and “Live from Samantha Ronson’s Cooch” was setting down on their fair city to announce the launching of a handbag she designed with future sister in law Charlotte Ronson.

The hotter twin from The Parent Trap also attended Charlotte’s first Japanese runway show and enjoyed a break from all the L.A. paparazzi. Wait, Lindsay’s not important enough to stalk when she’s abroad? Bitch, you better get back onto some hard drugs and drinking, maybe a public flashing of pubic or something cause your movies have blown since Mean Girls, your handbag looks like something you vomited up by a failed Project Runway contestant and Samantha isn’t exactly a dick magnet for all the cameramen.

The Lohsters bag is “a slouchy canvas satchel with leather pockets and studded charms” and it’s only being sold at Charlotte Ronson stores in Japan. Lindsay Lohan’s second foray into fashion won’t be her last. She’s been talking with Italy’s Fornarina about developing a full collection, since starring in the brand’s latest ad campaign. So you here that indies, Lindsay wants to dress you up. You’ve been warned.

Thanks to WWD for reporting on Lindsay Lohan when no one else would.

I can’t say I saw this lasting too long either, but it comes as a bit of a shock that Miss. Kennedy was dropped as the face of Sebastian. Her replacement? Charlotte Ronson (not that much better). I guess it kind of makes sense to drop her, I mean she was the spokes person for a hair care company, yet she doesn’t take care of her hair. It’s okay Cory you’re young. Just because Sebastian didn’t like your head, doesn’t mean other 30+ year old men (like your ex-boyfriend) won’t pay good money for it.

Charlotte Ronson to Save J.C.Penney

Charlotte Ronson Hits Up The Penney

J.C. Penney has just signed a massive long-term deal with New York-based designer Charlotte Ronson to design a full line of sportswear for the ancient retailer called I [Heart] Ronson. The collection is set to hit 600 stores and will hit jcp.com by Spring 09.

“Targeted toward the 21- to 35-year-old women, the line includes tees, knit tops, blouses, sweaters, jeans, skirts, dresses and jackets.

Prices are about $15 for layering tees and tank-tops, $26 to $44 for tops sweaters and jeans and $40 to $65 for dresses and jackets.”

This is the biggest news to hit the indie scene in some time as Charlotte has always been a fashionindie favorite with her collection of vintagy goods. I just wonder if her national street cred is enough to get devoted Ronsoners into the unsettling cavern of retail hell that are the malls of America to shop for her dresses and tops at J.C. Penney. Either way, we give massive snaps to Charlotte Ronson to booking such a major deal. I wonder if this means that Lilo and Samantha will be hitting up the Penney to help endorse Charlottes goodies?

Thanks to CNN for pointing this bitty out.

I found Waldo. He’s Right There Snorting Lines of Coke with Lindsay Lohan

Saynt — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 14:19:32 +0000

Let’s file this one under idiotic concepts to market.

Waldo, that random dude with the striped shirts and blue pants turned 21 this year, and to celebrate, the constantly misplaced one decided to attend a couple of fashion shows. I’m guessing they’re trying to make Waldo seem cool and hip cause he partied with walking venereal disease Lindsay Lohan and her shim “friend”.

While it’s great that Waldo is finally trying to fit in, it’s weird that for his relaunch he didn’t get a new look. The red and the blues need to go and those nerd glasses are officially over. Plus, why are they trying to market this dude to the fashion set?

If you really wanted to bring him back from the 80s, he really needed an updated look and possibly a blockbuster movie attached. I see Waldo as a Swiss spy who uses a special transporter to enter various periods in time in which he must collect secrets and remain incognito amongst crowds of thousands. Then at various periods of the movie you’d scan back and have the audience attempt to find Waldo. Oh, joy. That would be a movie I’d consider adding to my Netflix cue.

Glossed: Bazaar Recreates The Royal Tenenbaums

Bazaar has recreated Wes Anderson’s finest movies, The Royal Tenenbaums, about a dysfunctional family. Ironically, the shoot was recreated with one of NYC’s ‘cool’ families: the Ronsons.

The twin sisters, Samantha, of Lindsay Lohan fame, and Charlotte, of fashion designer fame, and DJ brother, Mark, have dry wit down pat. From Samantha’s fur and Hermes, Mark’s Adidas track suit and Charlotte’s tennis-esque garb, they nailed the wardrobe. But the Tenenbaum’s had attitude, and I have to say, so do the Ronsons.

Thanks FabSugar for pointing this out.
