I’m definitely not the biggest pearl lover that ever lived, but I think it’s self explanitory why I am head-over-heels for the Terence Koh For Opening Ceremony Pearl T. For a gluttonous $500, this one-size-fits-all Pearl T will undoubtedly become the conversation piece of your closet.

GET IT AT: Opening Ceremony

Everyone loves to spy on New York’s exclusive downtown crew, and now you can bring some of their glamour into your living room thanks to “A Little Sugar in my Bowl”. The new book by Aaron Bonderoff and Terence Koh chronicles the debauchery in all its black and white glory. Sure to be full of art world and internet celebrities and their posse, this is definitely another book to add to your coffee table apartment.

Put a little twist on the classics and you’ve basically got the aesthetic for designer Kai Kuhne. From pencil skirts to high waisted pants and Chanel’s “little black dress” to the trendy boyfriend blazer, Kuhne reigns a viking at manipulating basic pieces in a classically simple buy edgy way. Leaning on the twisted-classics side myself, I’m surprised that Kai Kuhne hasn’t been more widely recognized, however, artist Terence Koh recently wore a Kuhne blazer to the Whitney Art Party while Samantha Mathi looked stunning in a Kuhne dress at the 2009 Tony Awards. Keep your eyes peeled for more of Kuhne, because I think he is exactly what our minimal loving recession needs in a designer.

You really have to be careful at certain NYC parties. You never know when this might happen.

Should be interesting, but I’m expecting a lot of black and white and random essays on stuff I don’t really care about. But I’m pretty much an idiot when it comes to getting “art” since most of it to me is bullshit and attempts to create it are just pathetic nowadays since all the meaningful stuff has pretty much been done (yeah, I’m talking to you Damien and your shark jump too).

This issue celebrates creative pioneers, from Terence Koh to Francine Spiegel, from Meryl Smith to Chadwick Tyler. Which basically translates to the dude who made weird chandeliers to that chick who makes gooey looking paint drip pictures, from that girl who created that Louis monogram puppy to the dude who shoots really ano models in black in white.

Is it bad that I had to Google all of them?
