Alexis Bittar’s quaint Bleeker Street boutique was the perfect place for a Valentine-themed gathering. Last Thursday’s pink-frosted cupcakes and festive candy dishes complimented the store’s hand painted cheery blossom walls while romantic floral arrangements and free...
How they all Scrambled for Diane Von Furstenberg.
Normally one is apt to write about the clothes but when it comes to a DVF outing that’s just a front. That’s not to say we don’t love her designs, we do, it’s just that after close hand inspection...
Patricia Fields celebrates her Birthday, and they all came, including the Geisha Girls.
What do you do when you run into people dressed as pink polar bears, swig vodka tequila make up and are crushed by the NY Post paparazzi and their elk? Easy, you get in line, pucker up your lips...
A Fashion show, or something like it: Finnish Designer Paola Suhonen begins a Chic Experiment.
Last Thursday, I showed up at Bond Street’s Moeller Snow Gallery expecting a traditional fashion show. But considering Scallywag’s last experience at this particular location involved critiquing Jani Leinonen’s cereal-box paintings which, in case you forgot, depict such scenes...
Haute HIPPIE COUTURE.
The penthouse is packed, the event is catered, and the tequila is spiced with jalapeños. I’m at the Haute Hippie show and cramped elevators aside, someone’s doing something right. Beauties standing on bleacher-like rises wearing shimmering baby doll dresses...
Hard Times.
Last Thursday the Chelsea Art Museum Young Associates and guests put on their slickest suits and dreamiest dresses to attend the Winter Wickedness party. As most of us on planet Earth have been informed, either by the transcendent power...
“Makes you think, Doesn’t it…”
The chelfitsch Theater Company’s U.S. debut of 5 Days in March begins before the lights dim in the theater when two male hipsters meet center stage and begin speaking in Japanese. They tell us that they will be telling...

There’s an adage that goes something like this; ‘You know you are at a celebrity party when the mini burgers being passed around are eaten whole except for the buns themselves.’ In so many ways Mickey Boardman’s PAPER Magazine...
After Uber Party at Tribeca Grand. If only Ruven turned up.
I’ve always held the greatest respect for artists who shun their own after parties. Be it because of desire to mitigate unwarranted press or simply to get back to work (at least we like to believe so…). In this...
Sub-boutique. A walk on the ‘avante garde’ side.
Tuesday night saw us trollop all the way to Long Island City’s Foundry for an intriguing display of cutting edge fashion, indie spirit and a throwback to retro. There were some real winners and some also can too’s. Paying...
The Ultimate Post Modern Performance Art
New York, where is the love? Within the great confines of our fine metropolis, some of the crudest, rawest animal instincts are bread and Big Appleites are not afraid to expose them. One sees another passing him on the...
Outlaws of the Border. Pre Fashion Week.

Paparazzo Fixx on another assignment, we wonder whose more glamarous?-Scallywag.
White, like an ash-covered inhabitant of Pompeii from the 1st century, lava pouring out of her delicate skull and moving down the back, she’s leaning over a...
Project Runway; With Imodel’s Catherine Tran.
Adonis
It’s that time of year to get revved up about fashion, it’s consequences and the great lithe figures that take centre stage. Applaud, desire and wonder at will, one also has to take a step back and ask whose...
Sally Shan- the Girl that could. Part 2.
We here at Scallywag and Vagabond have been amused, flabbergasted and intrigued by the depth of response given our recent coverage of this wonderful lady's ascent to the heights of social paramours. That said, we decided to give you...
Pre-Fashion Week Fuss- Loris Diran.
Last Thursday marked the much-anticipated launch of Loris Diran’s flagship store. “My Goodness, there are a lot of people here!” remarked the glowing designer as he floated into his crowded opening party. And there were a lot of people...
