New 2017 Pirelli Calendar by Peter Lindbergh Unveiled

The 2017 Pirelli Calendar has been revealed and spoiler: it’s amazing. Shot by one of my favorite photographers, the iconic, Peter Lindbergh, this calendar conveys “personality, sensitivity, and the guts to be yourself.” While the photos are incredible so is the fact that Lindbergh is the first in the industry to have shot three editions of this infamous Calendar. The Pirelli Calendar, which has been produced yearly since launching in 1963 has previously been shot by big industry names including Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel and Annie Leibovitz and has featured so many iconic models and celebrities.

Australia Welcomes Sephora at Sydney Pitt St Mall

sephora opening sydney

It started with a countdown — one much larger then the counting clock on their door — the long awaited opening of the first Sephora location in Australia. While it was announced in April the world’s biggest retailer would be opening in Sydney, it wasn’t until this past Friday it opened it’s doors at the Pitt St Mall. And the crowd went wild! The line since the opening (just to get in the front door) have been so insane they had to create a barricade around the proximity to secure the line and hire multiple security guards to monitor the coming in and out process.

Eric Dane at The Last Ship Survival is and Art

Last night I attended an evening of masked art and fashion to celebrate the premiere of TNT’s post-apocalyptic drama, “The Last Ship,” airing on Sunday, June 22.  Hosted at Dia 545 gallery, the exhibition named, “Survival Is An Art: The Last Ship Experience” featured creative and adorned original gas masks by artists Tom Banwell, Bob Basset, Singer Blake, Wren Britton, Gary Lockwood and Nathan Vincent. The event also featured a fashion show of 20 one-of-a-kind creations by Munich-based couture designer Irene Luft.

Stars from the series, Eric Dane (aka Grey’s Anatomy’s Mcsteamy) and Rhona Mitra were in attendance and gave the opening remarks prior to the fashion show. Charming and humorous, Dane said, “I would ask you to watch the show but instead I’m going to beg.”

“Survival Is An Art: The Last Ship Experience” is open today for one day only and can be seen at DIA 545, 545 West 22nd Street.

8 Unforgettable Art Basel Moments: Shepard Fairey, Adrian Grenier, Kanye, Laurence Gartel, Versace and more!

MiamiWhile I’m no stranger to Miami, this was my first time going to Art Basel and after the amazing time that city showed me I’m going back every year. It’s an amazing week when the art world (with a high population of New Yorkers) takes over Miami, bringing the fashion community with them. My days were spent at art shows, followed by drinks poolside with event, after event, after party to go to. While I need an entire blog post dedicated to all of the art conventions here are some of the best moments from independent art shows to epic Versace Mansion parties!

1. Elementals @The Ad Oasis – Hosted by Adrian Grenier at the James Royal Palm Hotel, the works of Sarah Reynolds, Shepard Fairey, Greg Auerback, Mr. Brainwash, Meagan Donegan, Jade Doskow, Greg Haberny, Naomi Reis were all on display. I was so excited to attend and support my friend, Sarah Reynolds at her show, especially given one of my other friends ended up purchasing both of her exceptional art pieces in the show. (Meeting Adrian Grenier and Shepard Fairey wasn’t too shabby either).
