While revelers uptown at the new Diesel flagship partied against a backdrop of Joe Jonas and Travis Scott performances, downtown Moncler hosted a much tamer affair. At the Italian restaurant Tutto il Giorno on Franklin Street, Karolína Kurková, Naomi Campbell, Carine Roitfeld and Miroslava Duma gathered to toast the brand’s fall fashion show — an outdoor (yes, outdoors), extravaganza on the plaza of Lincoln Center. Guests were happy to be inside.
“I’m keeping warm and bundled up,” said Anna Cleveland. “I’m dressed in layers, wearing a mix of vintage and a Zac Posen jacket. These vintage pants are from my mom.” That would be Seventies model Pat Cleveland. “I go in her closet a lot,” the younger Cleveland continued. “You can’t help yourself. You see the goods, you want the goods.”
Victor Cruz was taking it easy following his ambassadorship for New York Fashion Week: Men’s at the beginning of the month. “I haven’t done much, but I did go to see Kanye at Madison Square Garden. I was obviously dying to see the clothes, but the music was actually what drew me to the event,” he said. “Kanye never disappoints — he always hooks it up. I’m just happy that the vintage Kanye West is back. It’s what we all wanted, it’s what we all needed. And I think he delivered that.”
As guests Waris Ahluwalia (successfully back in the States after being denied from boarding an Aeromexico flight), Lauren Remington Platt and up-and-comer musician Travis Mills took their seats, people finally began to shed their coats. But Cleveland, for one, was enjoying the cold.
“I’ve seen a blue fur. I’ve seen high heels with ice wedges. I’ve seen women throwing scarves all around their necks in a very chic way,” she said. “I like the fact that people are freezing and they have to interpret it.”
![Carine Roitfeld is letting a new generation take the reins of the magazine she founded. Mostly.
Like the new logo for the biannual CR Fashion Book print magazine Roitfeld founded in 2012 after leaving French Vogue and has been the lead editor and stylist of since — now a much smaller, more refined “CR” that hovers in the top left corner after being a nearly cover-size signature — Roitfeld is reducing her role, and will now oversee editorial after years of leading it.
Vague as that description may be, the fact is Roitfeld doesn’t actually have a new title and there is no one replacing her as editor. But she will be doing far less styling of shoots (she only did one for the upcoming spring/summer issue; before she did all of them) and curation of magazine editorial going forward. Instead, Roitfeld will focus more on other projects, like collaborations and work for a growing roster of clients for her creative studio and brand consultancy CR Studio. There’s Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld and Tom Ford, of course, but also a recent campaign for Jordache, which Roitfeld handled from beginning to end. "I don’t know what I now want to be called,” she said recently, having just arrived in New York for fashion week from Paris. “I don’t have a desk [at the office] either. I had one a while ago but I didn’t like it. I just sit at any table with a free chair. I don’t want a door, ‘Oh, knock before entering.’ That’s not me.” Report: Kali Hays
