Event Alert: Denim After Dark at Madewell

In case you missed it last month (I did), you’ve got another chance. I love, love, love my skinny black Madewell jeans, not to mention my tiered and studded ruffle tank. Perhaps it’s time for a pair of jeans in white, to go with my newly purchased Madewell yellow ombre summer scarf.

ARTmonday: Elephants in Art

The elephant is the season’s “it” animal in interiors and the arts. I’m seeing them everywhere, from the stage to indie films, in shelter mags and in the shops. The elephant is not new to the style scene. Iconic examples of the beast have been around a while. Here’s a quick look at select elephants in the arts. Tomorrow I have a montage of elephants incorporated in decor, and on Wednesday, some cute pachyderms for sale. If you’re eager for an immediate glimpse of rooms and items, check out “Trendlet Alert: Elephants” on The Inside Source.

Fine Print: Designers’ Homes in CFDA Book

WWD reports that the CFDA (that’s the Council of Fashion Designers of America for those of you not in the fashion know) and glossy book publisher Assouline are publishing American Fashion Designers at Home, a coffee-table book that will showcase homes from over 100 of its members. It’s due out in September ($65, to benefit the CFDA Foundation), though it’s featured on neither Amazon nor Assouline’s own site yet.

Glimpses will include new and yes, we’ve seen them before images, including Carolina Herrera UES (that’s Upper East Side for you non-New Yorkers) co-op, Donna Karan’s Parrot Cay guest house, Josie Natori’s Paris pied-à-terre, Diane von Furstenberg’s Cloudwalk estate in Litchfield County, Ralph Lauren’s Double RL ranch in Telluride, Mark Badgley and James Mischka’s horse farm in the rolling Kentucky hills, Lela Rose’s TriBeCa loft, and Bob Mackie’s vibrant L.A. pad. And, of course, no fashion décor tome would be complete without Jenna Lyons’ Park Slope brownstone.

Here are the images online at WWD. I contacted the publicists at Assouline, begging for more . . .
