Everyone always says print is a dying medium, but it seems to be evolving just fine as magazines become more of a collector’s item rather than a monthly offering. Opening Ceremony is naturally hip to the trend and is launching a collectible fashion and culture magazine this August called OC Annual.

On the luscious Thai island of Yao Noi, the House of Waris Batik Lab held its first session. When the elite guests of the Film on the Rocks film festival weren’t viewing flicks on the floating movie theater, Waris Ahluwalia gave them the opportunity to learn the ancient wax dyeing technique, Batik. Waris (a jewelry designer and occasional actor) arranged for a group of local artisan women to demonstrate the process, in celebration of his batik scarf collection hitting stores now. The final result will be revealed at a gala in Bangkok, with proceeds going a film-centric children’s charity. Come be a Thai fly on the wall at Waris’s brilliant meeting and enhancing of the minds.

Regular folk can get away with wearing witty boy’s and girl’s t-shirts, but celebrities? We prefer to see them in ground-sweeping ball gowns and pretty little things the every-gay can’t just wear on the fly. So why wear tees when the sartorial world is at your fingertips? Is it the comfort? Maybe. The message across the front? Less likely. But point is, if you can afford Dior, we’d really like to see you in Rick Owens. How do you feel about celebs in t-shirts?

I may be known to boast a high waisted short from time to time, and regularly advise you to do the same. And we know why we wear them – when done correctly, they can be quite the flatterer to a figure. But last night, as I wore a pair of long man’s shorts done up high at the waist, belted for definition, I discovered, and this may come as a shock to all but The Man Repeller: Straight men don’t like them.
High waisted shorts are sadly wasted on the straight man.

The CFDA Awards red carpet fell somewhere in between Grammy gauche and Oscar opulence. I thought there would be more formal, black-tie, floor-grazing-gown business à la the Met Ball, but some people showed up in jeans while there was enough leg on display to put KFC out of business. But the fashion grab bag of last night’s red carpet provided a few hits, a ton of misses and then of course there was the Gaga factor.

Looks like the CFDA Awards will be a star-studded affair, featuring celebrity’s on stage, in the audience and, most importantly, drunk and sloppy on the red carpet.
