September 2011

Photographer Patrick Hoelck was invited to shoot private portraits of the legendary Yohji Yamamoto in his hotel room after his runway show, and could not stop talking about what a great experience it was:

he had this amazing presence – strong, but not overpowering.  super nice, super humble.  it was absolutely amazing.

Here are Patrick’s portraits below, truly stunning***

Isabel’s Americana-inspired streetwear collection was the antithesis of everything showing in Paris. [click to continue…]

The scene outside the fashion shows is sometimes as exciting as the show itself, and Isabel Marant is a prime example!   [click to continue…]

Curve NYC hosted the US launch party for a new jewelry line called VK Lillie – handmade medicine bags by the mother/daughter team of Vanessa and Kira Lillie.   [click to continue…]

The Fashion’s Night Out party we had on the East Coast was just as rocking as on the West!  Curve featured installations of the new Spring 2012 collections by IRO and Lady Grey, and shoppers were able to take home the best pieces from Fall. Drinks by Corzo flowed while revelers partied to the tunes of iDEATH (Andrew from MGMT) and Patrick from Chairlift and nibbled on cupcakes from Baked by Melissa.  Over 400 guests came through to commemorate the night and the event was the talk of the town for days after!  Vanessa Hudgens stopped by after DJing at PopChips Playground and bought some jewelry from Lady Grey’s Fall collection.  All in all,  Curve had a very exciting night!!!

Our Fashion’s Night Out party with Falling Whistles in Los Angeles was an absolute blast!!  Sean Carasso and crew were on hand to premiere their limited edition whistles created by Dannijo, seen above on the Curve team, and to preview their Faces campaign.  Launching in early October, Falling Whistles aims to to create the first ever visual petition – faxing in pictures of whistleblowers who want peace in Congo to the White House in lieu of signaures.  Guests clamored to get their pictures taken and to buy whistles to help spread the word! DJs Jean Louis Bartoli and Tendaji Lathan were on-hand to create an amazing atmosphere, and Kanon Organic Vokda were onhand serving some delicious cocktails!  Two lucky partygoers won Dannijo whistles, and they won’t even hit stores until November…..All in all, the night was absolutely magical - over 350 revelers came to blow the whistle, dancing our party way past 11, then we closed it out with the afterparty we hosted at the Beverly*****
