Work was not easy on Friday after we all partied the night away at the Soho Grand Hotel the night before. If you weren’t aware, Fashion Indie co hosts a party every Thursday night at the hotel that’s organized by Niko Liakaris. We’re also lucky enough to team up with DJ Lindsay Luv, Jon Daly, Gabi Richmond and Against Nature as well.

This week we had a few special guests from CFE (Centre for Fashion Enterprise) and guest DJ Allan Bendy, along with Kate Lanphear and some friends from NYLON magazine all in attendance. Belvedere was kind enough to provide the party with way more than enough vodka, and like all of Niko’s parties, we didn’t let any of that go to waste.

I’m sure by now you’ve seen all of our ‘Last Night’s Party’s from last week, and you know that Thursday night we were at Webster Hall for Diesel’s U:Music talking with Cobra Starship and Passion Pit, and then avidly blogged until 5am so that you could all see the details from the night first, so our weekend started quite early.  Of course, we headed out Friday and Saturday to some different spots so we could (hopefully) have crazy/funny stories on Monday.

Our Friday started early as we felt the effects of staying up all night, and woke up early to head to the Nylon and SoBe Life Water sample sale and runway event and were sad to find that Daniel and Rebecca were not there.  Regardless, the event was a good time, a great turnout, and I got a few Hellz Bellz tees from the sample sale (which I’m quite excited about). Photos of this event are now up on Cult. Later, we met Daniel and Rebecca and headed over to a meeting with a potential party spot for Fashion Indie, and enjoyed a nice lunch. Then it was time for naps before the real partying began.  

Corey’s night started out at Webster Hall with Atrak, here’s what he had to say:

I spent Friday night at Webster Hall courtesy of my new aquaintance Lindsay Luv. As if the bottle service wasn’t enough, we had the best table in the house for A-Trak and Treasure Fingers, two of the best (and my favorite) DJ’s in the industry. The floor below was jam packed with kids, 90% of which couldn’t see they were so messed up, but every last one of them couldn’t help but move to the insanity that was A-trak. For a DJ set I must say it ended a bit early, so that meant it was time head over to The Annex to meet up with Hillary for promised fun at Ruff Club with Aaron K.

–

I never fail to follow through on a promise. After hitting up Angels and Kings (a bar I actually used to frequent..no mocking, please), I realized exactly why I stopped going there, so left and headed to have some real fun at Ruff Club.

Aaron K was ready to party as usual, in his giant tulle bow fastened with a brooch (which was absolutely amazing), and so were all of our other friends at Ruff. Needless to say, the night was full of good music, good friends, and not one, but two bottles. We closed the night outside chatting with new friends, and headed back to World Trade around 5am, luckily making it without any lost shoes.

–

Saturday was a bit more low-key (although I did not fail to miss the parade happening in Jersey City, anyone know what that was?), I headed down to Peculiar Pub to meet with Corey and a few of his old friends, and found myself surrounded with people I would find at every bar in Michigan (which isn’t a good thing, like that guy up there from the “New Haircut” video on Youtube) After a drink we left and headed to Red Head, which was quiet and relaxed, just the way I like it for a Saturday night.  We somehow managed to look down at our phones and realize it was 3:30AM, so closed the night with the bar, and parted ways.

No complaints for this weekend, it was a lot of fun, and we love Ruff Club as usual, sorry for the lack of crazy stories, I’m sure we’ll make up for it this week!

I don’t know who the gay blades are but I’m assuming they’re a bunch of sword wielding samurai twinks.Wait, I’m right!?! Holy shit, I was just joking, but wow that’s a pretty crazy concept for a band, huh, I might have to check this out…

While it’s pretty awesome that DJ Atrak is playing cover star on the latest issue of Status Magazine, what intrigues me more is the “Indie-prenurial” coverage of Nylon editor Marvin Scott Jarett. While I’m not the biggest fan of the editor, I’m curious to see if he has any answers for why he featured Lindsay “Unhirable” Lohan on the cover of their 10 year anniversary issue.

Seriously dude. She’s about as intersting as chronic foot pain caused by gout. I would have been more inclined to pick that shit up if Courtney Love (aka Older Lindsay) was on the cover. At least she’s far to drugged up to monitor her comments and the interview would have been interesting. I tried reading that issue during a bowel movement and for the first time ever I felt the need to cut and run.

Anyways, if anyone can send me a copy of this magazine, I’m hoping the “indie” editor can redeem himself.

Not every photo’s a perfect gem, but these outtakes from Mary-Kate Olsen’s fun time with NYLON are definitely worthy. I love how you can spot the camera dude in her sunglasses, totally would have kept that one in the mag.

In the March 2009 issue of Nylon Magazine, Kristen Stewart is bites back at rumors that she had a fling with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson.

“It’s just totally false. Rob and I are good friends. We went through a lot together, so we feel very close. But if we go out in public, every little detail is scrutinized, like the way I stand next to him.”

“And it’s like, I know the guy really fucking well,” she continues. “It’s only natural that we sort of lean on each other, because we’re put in the most fucking psychotic situations.”

PS: Does this girl ever smile? Or have more than one look, becuase every spread she’s ever done has looked exactly the same. I don’t get it! What is it about her????

I really loved him in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, but I think he’s just becoming annoying. I get that he’s a comedian, but he seems to always be this rocker. Does he actually play music? I’m too dumb to get it I guess. He’s like Sasha Cohen, but his character doesn’t change. Damn Brits and their high-brow layered comedians.

Well Nylon Guys decided he was good enough for their Winter issue. Apparently people who make Disney kids comedies with Adam Sandler are worthy of your attention. Snore.

While lurking through the profiles of our newest site and social network next.fashionindie, we came across possibly the coolest “barely legal” profile user on the face of the earth (besides me of course). Ladies and Gentlemen, meet fourteen year old New Yorker, Kristin Prim, creator and editor of her very own fashion magazine, Prim Magazine. I flipped through the online version of her newest issue and basically decided that this girl is my hero. Pages upon pages of awesome underground fashion designers, Sartorialist-esque fashion inspirations, edgy editorials, music interviews and film reviews are just some of the things waiting to be read in Prim Magazine. Who doesn’t love a rebellious teen that makes Nylon Magazine look mainstream? 

Enough of my interpretation of the magazine…let’s take a look at what Prim has to say herself:

We don’t know about you, but seeing talentless celebrities on the covers of magazines is getting old. 
Get some real talent out. 
Mix it up; take the undiscovered and make them visible. 
Give them a voice. 
Cover real things that matter and not just babbling celebs speaking about how drunk they were when they did that little dance on the table that fed a million bucks to hungry paparazzi. 
Let real talent shine and thrive. 
And make it good. 

This girl is going places and I’ll be able to say is “I was friends with her on fashionindie.ning.com when…” (sigh). 

Check out Prim Magazine here! You won’t regret it.

I typically love flipping through the glossy pages of Nylon Magazine or scoping out some new trends on their website, but a recent fashion suggestion really had me questioning the intelligence of their writers. At first I was really digging the new line of snowboard boots by Nike. What’s not to like, right? Trendy “Air Walk” style Nike’s making all the kids on the slopes jealous. But whoever thought it would be a good idea to advocate wearing them as actual boots, off the slopes, is an idiot. I hate Uggs just as much as the next fashion conscious girl, but never in a million years would I replace them with a pair of snowboard boots.

Take it from a snowboarding obsessed Buffalonian, you do NOT want to wear snowboard boots out in public. Not only will everyone make fun of you for looking like a tool (especially if you don’t actually snowboard and are wearing them for the sake of fashion) but the boots aren’t exactly graceful to walk in. Snowboard boots force you bend your knees when you walk, so by all means, if you want to imitate the kid next-door with cerebral palsy, then wearing snowboard boots is the way to go. 

Visit NYLON for the idiotic article.

The spread has hit the web. Look she attempts to wear glasses to look like a hipster. Someone should strongly consider murdering this stylist.

Really? Paris Hilton? On Nylon Magazine?!?

For all the girls out there who suddenly feel betrayed by the “alternate fashion” magazine right now, Fashion Indie is here for you. Let us mourn our lost together…

Thanks to Popsugar for the photos.

Photographer Todd Selby got some magic ticket to take him deep inside the sanctum that is NYLON magazine.

The editor dude has frosted tips, way too many toys, and a wicked guitar. He is officially by new god.

Lindsay Lohan will be gracing the cover of the first Korean release of Nylon Magazine this month. Apparently Lohan still hasn’t faded out of the spotlight in Korea yet, because the Korean editor was quoted more or less saying, “Get us Lindsay Lohan for our first issue.” Lohan looks less than impressive in this shoot however. She is plagued with unnatural facial emotions and not the best outfit choices I’ve seen. Not that I have a problem with Nylon, but am I the only one who thinks their models/photoshoots have been sub par of late? Step Yo’ Game Up Nylon!
