Save Fashion (NYC)



Save Fashion Launches May 1st - Midtown—and the Port Authority bus terminal—is usually the least appealing place in a very appealing city, but the fashion crowd turned out in droves last night when yours truly hosted a big opening bash to celebrate the launch of our month-long pop-up shop. Elise Overland, Boy by Band of Outsiders, and Rachel Comey were just a few of the big names available for grabs by lucky attendees, and everyone knows there's nothing better than boozing with yummy AlizĂ© cocktails while cruising for majorly discounted steals (dresses for $50! a Boy button-down for $75! we were in heaven). Sam Shipley and Jeff Halmos, Steven Alan, Maria Cornejo, Philip Crangi, Rachel Comey, Vena Cava's Lisa Mayock, CFDA Executive Director Steven Kolb, and photog Chadwick Tyler all showed up to mingle under the terminal rafters and amongst the uniformed police officers (never been to a fashion party with police officers about? you're surely missing out). Shaggy-haired band The Young Lords, meanwhile, kept the music going (and the girls swooning). - Refinery29

IT Girl: Sarah Frances Kuhn

One of my favorite Teen Vogue editors, Sarah Frances Kuhn was interviewed by Refinery29 
(photos by Olivia Jade Horner)   Sarah is probably one of the most eclectic fashion accessory editors, at least at Conde Nast.  

"Most of the time the names on a magazine or website masthead are just that…names. Well, thankfully Sarah Frances Kuhn, accessories editor of Teen Vogue, is just as cool as the stuff she commits to gloss every month. Actually, cooler. How, you wonder, could she outshine her expertly chosen melange of pitch-perfect bags, baubles, and bangles? Well, first there's the amazing Williamsburg apartment she shares with her artist/musician boyfriend. Then there's her off-the-masthead hobby as a singer and guitarist in not one, but two bands—Left Coast (her band with her boyfriend) and the newly formed Mystical Box (in which Eviana Hartman of Bodkin and Jil Bradshaw of I Heart are her mates). And last but not least there's her style: a chic vintage-grunge mash-up that invades everything from her playlist to the warm, So-Cal feel of her home…and of course the closet she allowed us to invade."  Click here for the full interview.
