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.

For some more art check out this video of Sam & I doing a wave in a flipbook we made at the event (below)

Look Five: Spring Spins Sheer and Long

The Sheer Tie Dye Skirt: $175

The dyed effect on this clear piece brings ethereality. It’s meant to layer, so I kept my blinding purple American Apparel tights on underneath. The leggings are low slung, and I’ve hiked the skirt up, leaving my skin only partially exposed, good for a summertime peekaboo.

The Summer Vest Dress: $195

Hitting floor length and speckled with florals, this garment is flexible in its wear. Pull it open for an all-encompassing vest, or close it for a lovely sweeping dress. And it gives me slight vibes of Easter Sunday, which I suppose makes sense, as it’s been reborn.

The Cashmere Crop: $105

Soft and delicious is this little top. It squeezes right into this look, its lavender picking up the purples throughout. In the mid-weather Spring, it’ll keep you cuddling warm with a jacket, but will still be working alone with a high waist. The shoulders stay aloft with substantial facing, acting as its own shoulder pads.

Shoes by Walter Steiger.

The 90210 actress looked laid-back chic on the red carpet with a tuxedo inspired jacket, slouchy jeans and simple white tee. While we’re usually not a big fan of hot girls wearing dorky, horn-rimmed glasses—we all know those aren’t prescription lenses, c’mon– we have to admit Shenae looks pretty cute. Not to mention, those shoes.

Last Saturday, I went to the Elise Overland Fall/Winter 2010 show. I have to confess that I never heard of her before (remember I’m from France) but when I saw so many celebrities arriving, I felt ashamed that everybody knew the designer but me.

I didn’t really like the collection, probably because of what the designer said about her inspiration: “My friend sent me a video of an open heart surgery he watched. I got inspired by the lushes layers of texture and rich glossy colors of the heart.” … WEIRD!

But I got to meet Shenae Grimes From 90210,who sat front row with Heidi Klum, Kelli Osbourne, Peaches Geldof, Malin Akerman and others, she’s lovely!

Entire collection on Style

Shenae Grimes is in my own personal hall of fame of terrible fashion. She lets herself out of the house like this?

I understand she’s just trying to hit up the supermarket, but in West Hollywood on a Sunday, did she expect to go unnoticed?

The outfit actually kind of works if you scroll up slowly (although I go for a jean with a much darker wash).  But as soon as you get to that headband…

I chose this photo because my face pretty much matched hers when I saw it; but check out the other ones to see the full glory of the headband, at Just Jared.

90210 star Shenae Grimes was snapped shopping at Pier 1 Imports Tuesday with nothing of reedeming fashion value. Fugly shirt, fugly tights-for-pants, fugly boots, and fugly Mom shades.  

Hm, cute bag though.

After:

I guess if you are going to be cast in a show about Beverly Hills you have to actually look like you live there. There is no way that Shenae Grimes has made enough money from 90210 already to have hired a stylist, so she either has one on lease for now, or she made more money than we thought be a bitchy teen on Degrassi. Either way she looks good now and definitely got her act together.

p.s. Has anyone seen the new 90210 yet? Is it worth my time?
