Oak wants to take you to the dark side.

To celebrate Fashion Week, Oak has invited some of its favorite local indies, like Vena Cava, Philip Crangi, and Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons, to explore their inner kinks and create limited-edition pieces evoking the idea of bondage. The result is a limited edition collection that will be showcased starting on the 8th for a show called “Bond Age”.

Naughty fashionista’s can find pieces inspired by spanking, voyeurism, and a little S&M at Oak. Be sure to head to the premiere party to get a little extra dirty with cocktails from Belvedere Vodka.

Do you remember the Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs?  I barely do. They kind of went mainstream, then disappeared and I think their flipping Burgers at the King. Well one Yeah to the third member refuses to fade into the shadows. Nick Zinner, guitarist of the emo/goth/punkish band is hosting a gallery exhibit feature poorly shot photos from his time on tour. I would care if I hadn’t already seen this shit done a million times before by party photographers like Merlin.  If you still can’t seem to get Maps out of your head, the head over. Other than that it doesn’t look to promising.

Fresh from last year’s sold out US tour and the culminating Style Battle Championship Grand Finale, STYLE WARS returns this summer with a sexy, poolside event at Harrah’s Casino in Atlantic City—under the largest glass dome in America.

Saturday, July 19^th @ Harrahs Casino Pool

777 Harrahs Blvd.

ATLANTIC CITY

10pm-1

Fusing the intensity and spontaneity of a rap battle with the glamor of a fashion show, House of Diehl invented STYLE BATTLING as the newest opportunity for rising American Fashion designers to make their name in the competitive arena of design. But IT’S COOL AT THE POOL, YEAH is more than just a Style Battle—it’s a poolside Style-a-palooza! There’s a live photo shoot, a fashion show and exposed backstage. Pursuing their “democratic approach to fashion”, House of Diehl has pulled aside the curtain on the elite world of fashion—from designing the clothes to shooting the campaign—to give the audience a fully interactive role in the live fashion experience as it unfolds.

And if you can’t make it, we will be there with a camera to bring you all the action. That’s right, the FI crew is traveling with the band and judges to cover the event, bringing you all the interviews, fashion, and fun you can handle.

9PM

To say we have been a little harsh on Agyness Deyn in the past would be a completely safe thing to say, but after last night my view towards her is beginning to come around. When Fashion Indie found out Agyness was doing a DJ set at Plumm night club we knew we had to be there, so we rounded up the troops and headed out to the club. We spent the night eagarly awaiting her arrival as it got later and later. As I headed down the small stairway to the lower part of the club, who do I run into? None other than Agyness Deyn herself, and I will say she was very nice (and pretty) as I said hello and shook her hand. She was dressed very casual wearing a simple pair of jeans and a slightly oversized tee shirt. Yes if you can’t believe you are hearing me complimenting Agyness and her look you are hearing right. But that is enough of being nice. Agyness as a DJ, not so much. She more or less stood there and played a transitionless set of old classics like Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper. Just because her boyfriend Anthony Ellis (lead singer of Five O’ Clock Heroes and seen above with Richie Rich) let her sing on one track on his album doesn’t make her a musician or DJ at that. My final words of wisdom to Agyness Deyn, you’re a model not a musician. Get it right.

This is going to be such a hard party to get into, but if you can get in there it will be amazing. See you there, and if you can’t go we’ll be sure to post about it tomarrow.

We held a small event of our own last night at Lola’s in SOHO and couldn’t have been happier wiht the outcome. We met a bunch of cool designers as well as other bloggers and fashionistas. There were good drinks, good food and good friends all there to talk fashion and relax. We will be hosting another one soon so keep an eye out for more information.

We headed over to POP Burger for a quick bite and a drink. On the way I decided to wear Rebecca’s super cool derby hat, and once we got there we couldn’t help but notice this little Agyness Deyn wannabe…Look what you have done Agyness!

We ended the night supporting the has been Amanda Lepore. Yes I said it, Has been. You can argue and she isn’t but with the way you voted on our last Amanda Lepore article you more or less sealed the deal. To top it off poor Amanda had no one at her party. We stopped by quickly to be shocked at the lack of trannys, homosexuals, and regular party goers alike. There were a few stragglers and a monk. It was a sad sight. Poor Amanda.

Back in the days of Fashion Indie’s infancy we hosted over the top networking events called Fashion Fruit. Fashion folks who loved our site and connected to Fashion Indie would come and drink it up with the whole staff as we merged at one of the only fashion networking parties designed for young fashion professionals.

Well Fashion Fruit is back with a vengeance. A new staff is rocking the Fashion Indie offices and our network of designers, models, stylist, photographers, editors, buyers and retailers has grown to over 5,000 in the New York area. We’re looking to fill this Fashion Fruit with 30 – 50 of the most influential fashion types so if you want to attend be sure to book early. Once we hit our RSVP goals we’ll be cutting the list off and will no longer accept reservations.

Hell, if all else fails it’s a great way to get your fashion line on FashionIndie.com since we will be featuring our favorite brands in attendance on the site the week following.

CLICK HERE TO RSVP and don’t miss the launch of Fashion Fruit.

The arty farty event will feature works from Terry Richardson, Richard Kern, Jack Pierson, Juergen Teller, and Richard Prince.

No, their not going to be in a sequel to the vomitlicious Matthew Mcconaughey/ Sarah Jessica Parker expose on the seedy underbelly of mommas boys.  They basically failed to launch their own website, Misshapes.com

The trio of overrated, but justly praised DJ’s hosted a massive party at Santos Party House with Grand Life on Saturday to welcome the return of the site. Two days later and the site is down.  Guess their just being fashionably late.

But really, what will they post on this site?  Pictures of their parties?  Been there, done that, right?

The party starts at 6PM with a runway show featuring some top BK talents at 7:15.

Celebrity Styleaholic (and Fashion Indie favorite), Najwa Moses will host and present Brooklyn’s finest fashion and accessory designers in a comprehensive runway show. Designers include: Tribal Truths Collection, Courtney Washington, Qristyl Frazier Designs, Joan Vaccianna, Johnny Vincent Swimwear, Waistbeads by Sewra, Salte Accessories and Brooklyn’s own surprise Menswear scene.
