- Carine Roitfeld takes a shot of vodka before going to fashion events, just to make sure “she arrives in a good mood.” I do something similar, but my shots tend to involve entire handles of vodka…it’s very hard to get me into a good mood sometimes. [Financial Times]

Lady Gaga winks, hunches and uncovers for an editorial in i-D, styled by none other than Nicola Formichetti and lensed by Mariano Vivanco. The trio continue to generally shut shit down, creating arresting images, buzzworthy collections (Gags is wearing Mugler of course) and colossal dance-pop anthems. Theirs is a partnership that harkens back to the days of Yves Saint Laurent and Iman, or Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick or Keith Haring and Grace Jones: artist and muse becoming inseparable in the public conscious and almost interchangeable in their roles. For Mariano, Nicola and Stephanie Germanotta, the whole is greater than sum of its parts.

Début is the kind of shop where some jewelry hangs on hangers. Designers are making such radically new creations that owner Lisa Weiss must often come up with creative ways to display them. Those displays are ever changing because the average length of time she carries one designer is about three seasons. In order to maintain her store’s philosophy, she cannot get too loyal to one designer. She must live by the essence of if you love it, let it go… What comes back is the success the designers see upon graduating from Début, knowing where they kicked it all off.

Tucked away on the north end of Mulberry Street, just above Houston, lives a petite boutique lined with the freshest names in design. Début is sparsely arranged to feel like a gallery, built to give each designer a proper artist’s display. Storeowner Lisa Weiss frequently hears from new customers, I’ve passed by it so many times and just never came in! I wasn’t entirely sure it was a store. Let her hear that no more. This incredible little-known and selectively merchandised store sparked my desire to explore the best boutiques in New York, and take you shopping with me. Piece by piece. Designer by designer. Through five original looks. One look each day. Every week. From now on. This is the Début of Boutique Critique.

This is the ugliest shit I’ve ever seen. If having to live with Keith Haring’s art wasn’t terrible enough, Nicholas Kirkwood went and designed this collection. The 12 styles are set to launch in February. OH GOODY.
