Many of our favorite Indies were out last night including: Sir Ben Kingsley, Shenae Grimes, Famke Janssen, Rebecca Minkoff, Billy Burke, Scott Campbell, Arlenis Sosa, Genevieve Jones, Waris Ahluwalia, Lance Bass, & Sky Ferreira

The exhibition was itself  fantastic.  Some of the films included in the exhibtion were Taxi Driver, The Aviator, & Vertigo. Our personal favorite attraction happened to be costumes from Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. (Featured below)

The exhibition, which will be open to the public (FOR FREE!) starting today until June 19th 2011 at  Center 548 in New York City, celebrates the stories of obsessive craftsmanship behind some of cinema’s most iconic on-screen moments.  It takes 30 manual steps to create the perfect pair of Persol frames and  similarly this exhibit showcases how each instance of what appears on the silver screen  can take hours, weeks or even months of painstaking research and craftsmanship to develop and comes for a place of passion.

Ferragamo‘s first social media campaign, the W list, is launching online today. This is an exciting new project from Creative Director, Massimiliano Giornetti, surrounding the iconic W bag. The site will serve as a chic destination for sharing inspirational stories, locales, and ideas resulting in a one-of-a-kind W bag inspired by the winner.

Prior to launch, Giornetti invited Ferragamo girls and fashion insiders such as Selita E. Banks, Fabiola Beracasa, Elettra Wiedemann, Shell Cardon, Poppy De Villeneuve, Genevieve Jones, Irina Lazareanu, Louise Roe, Lydia Fenet, and Kelsey Chow to share their inspirational stories.

Runners up will be the first to receive the Spring/Summer 2011 limited edition W bag along with one user, at random, whose story personally inspires Giornetti. The winners will be announced on January 22nd, commencing a 60 day program.

To enter the W List, accessible to the public today, you can easily do so by going to WList.Ferragamo.com

It’s no secret that Genevieve Jones takes amazing care of her skin. That paired with her personal style make for a killer image. But there’s one secret Genevieve has yet to speak of until now, which is, she brushes her lips with a homemade remedy! Honey, lemon, sugar and cayenne are mixed and refrigerated, and once prepared, the mixture is brushed on Ms. Jones’ lips with a toothbrush! Never heard of anything like it, but Genevieve swears it’s the key to a fuller, smoother pucker.

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that she looks like she’s on her way to a high school Valentine’s day dance circa 1993, or that she is wearing what appears to be sheer, black lace footies under some equally dated, gaudy platforms. If this is her attempt at eclecticism, she has failed miserably. Maybe she was trying to be ironic?

While attending the 2009 Victoria’s Secret “What is Sexy” List event at the Bowery Hotel in NYC this past week, the usually put-together Jones looks more tragic than sexy in a predictable heart-emblazoned blouse and high-waisted, too short for 30+ shorts that leaves little to the imagination. Honestly, what the hell is going on with her feet?? I expect more from you socialites.
