The party to end all parties and fashion week was hosted by our office mate, Refinery 29 (along with Gilt Groupe & Thrillist). There was a special performance by Of Montreal, as well as a variety of characters and party animals, which included two little piglets doing the woop-dee on a bed… basically the invitation became a reality.

Timo Weiland’s Spring 2010 Men’s & Women’s Ready to Wear Presentation went off without a hitch! It all came together and looked even more beautiful than I had imagined.
Thanks to the beautiful and massive X-Initiative space and the stellar team Timo pulled together.
Maguire Steele did an excellent job organizing the event. Tom Palmer Projects provided us with an amazing crew to build, hang, polish, light, and generally produce the show. So on the day of the presentation all I had to do was make sure the parachute looked “voluptuous” instead of “taut” and essentially played hide & go seek with the models until they got their photo taken by Mr. Runway photographer, Dan Lecca. All in all it was effortless on my part! Congrats to Timo & Alan!
Check out some additional reviews & photos:
Paper magazine stated, “Timo Weiland’s ridiculously amazing presentation. He debuted both men’s and women’s apparel. I died.”
WWD calls the collection “well-balanced showing of preppy with an edge.”
Style.com adds, “The clothes fall right in line with their cool, twentysomething take on propriety, best exhibited by their endless clever reworkings of the bowtie.”

Refinery29’s Piera & Philippe / Abigail Lorick with Jessica Szohr
Two of our very favorite companies & friends (Refinery29 & Lorick) graced the last two issues of Glamour with their stunning good looks!
(I only know this due to the fact that Condé Nast has supplemented my subscription to Domino with Glamour magazine. At first I was super bummed about it but now that I get to see my friends, Im kind of okay with it!)
Check out the new Living Proof bottle & display designs at Sephora today.
We were super excited to see Timo Weiland gracing the cover of WWD today as we prep his SS10 fashion week show!! Stay tuned for more on the rising star next week post-show.

Rachel’s show last night was a huge success! We may be biased since we did art direct the event, but we really thought it was simply magic!
The stage at Henry Street Playhouse came to life thanks to the lovely models, actresses (Alia Shawkat), and it-girls as well as Set Designers (and office mates) Aux Armes for their brilliant interpretation of Rachel’s idea to put on a dress rehearsal as opposed to a performance.
Style.com
“The collection—a sweet mix of forties-inspired frocks, tap shorts, and tops was shown tableau style at the Henry Street Settlement Playhouse. The concept was a dress rehearsal for an imaginary production titled Magic to Do, and she called on some theatrical pals to help bring to life her themes.”
Fashionista called it a “magical presentation” and noted “The theater’s stage featured a balance beam, swings, vanities and books for the collection of models – and Arrested Development’s Alia Shawkat – to play with during the presentation.”
Blackbook had nothing but great things to say about the clothes, which without them, there would be no purpose! “Rachel Antonoff presented a collection of whimsical yet extremely wearable (save for maybe the tutus) dresses, blouses, and high-waisted pants for her eponymous SS10 line at the Henry Street Playhouse last night on the very same stage that her teenage grandmother had once put on plays (a fact the designer learned only after choosing the location).”
