Shala Monroque, Crusader for Kitten Heels

>> Shala Monroque, with her propensity for kitten-heeled shoes — "I don't have a high threshold for pain. I have to have comfortable shoes" — and madcap mixmastering has earned her quite a few fashion fans. "Ironically," she tells Harper's Bazaar, "some of the outfits that receive the most attention from the fashion crowd are the ones that are a little off."

31-year-old St. Lucian Monroque, who is Pop's editor at large (and Pop editor Dasha Zhukova's best friend), has lived in Manhattan for the past ten years, although she apparently spends less than six months a year in her Upper East Side residence — due to her jetsetting lifestyle.

Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth Try Their Best to Keep Things Classy For Derek Blasberg

Nicole Richie and Kate Bosworth hosted a bash in LA last night celebrating their pal Derek Blasberg's new book, Classy: Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady. Derek's currently in the midst of a cross-country book tour that included a stop San Francisco, where he shared five fashion no-nos with Fab. Nicole was with Joel and their daughter, Harlow, earlier in the day, but her date for the evening was her soon-to-be brother-in-law Benji. Nicky Hilton, though, was the one subjected to Nicole's sense of humor while they posed for a photo. The evening was all about starlets, fashion, and Derek, but the party also interestingly brought out the apparently reconciled couple Balthazar and Rosetta Getty.

Alexander Wang Fall 2010: Wall Street, Wang-Style

>> Despite the vast concrete-floored warehouse space waiting inside Pier 94 to house Alexander Wang's guests, they all had to pass through a single set of double doors at the entrance yesterday, causing quite the crush, particularly because a burly security guard took up a large part of the entryway, allowing VIPs like Dasha Zhukova and Fabien Baron pass on his right, while everyone else had to go to his left.

>> Despite the vast concrete-floored warehouse space waiting inside Pier 94 to house Alexander Wang's guests, they all had to pass through a single set of double doors at the entrance yesterday, causing quite the crush, particularly because a burly security guard took up a large part of the entryway, allowing VIPs like Dasha Zhukova and Fabien Baron pass on his right, while everyone else had to go to his left.

The crowd buzzed with excitement; after all, Wang has come a long way in a few short seasons — to the point that a major magazine's accessories editor had to ask stylists to stop using one of his shoes, the lace-up sandal boot from Spring 2010, which had become ubiquitous, in all of their shoots.

Tavi Gavinson emerged from backstage, Fashion Television camera crew in tow, and took to laughing with and interviewing Lauren Santo Domingo, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, and Derek Blasberg. She took her front row seat, and the stadium-style lights went down and then up, revealing opener (and closer) Natalia Vodianova, hair shellacked over one eye, as she walked along the long black background, giving the audience a prolonged view in profile, before turning to give them a closer look.

Wang, like fellow young designer Jason Wu, felt the need for a turning point in his brand this season, hence a focus on a more tailored silhouette in the form of deconstructed pinstripe suits: Wall Street, Wang-style.  But there was also a strong element of late-'90s goth: the models wore black backpacks with fluttery floor-length tails, 5-inch high chunky-heeled mid-calf boots in velvet or brown with burnished yellow toes (which they had trouble turning in), pleated mini-skirts with tuxedo tails in back, and mid-thigh leggings which belled out over their shoes.  There was even some chenille and a black leather trench thrown into the mix.

Big on collaborations, Wang worked with stylist Karl Templer and Linda Farrow sunglasses each for the second time, the latter producing bug-eyed shades worn over the models' hair, and Gaia Repossi for jewelry.  In addition to Natalia, Freja Beha Erichsen and Snejana Onopka made their runway debut for the week; Agyness Deyn and Jessica Miller, ready for a comeback, also took a turn.  The designer's CFDA-appointed mentor Diane von Furstenberg was front row, smiling during the finale, along with her CEO Paula Sutter, whose appearance raised a few questions about investment potential (DVF has a stake in Nathan Jensen's line).

Wang decided to forgo an after-party this season after last season's gas station-set rager, but fret not; last night, he told WWD with a grin: "We're planning something big for September."

Baby Boys for Both Dasha Zhukova, Gisele Bundchen

>> Both Dasha Zhukova and Gisele Bundchen have given birth to baby boys.  Details on the where, the when, and the name of Gisele's son have not yet been disclosed — her husband Tom Brady, upon confirming the birth this morning, said they hadn't yet picked a name. Perhaps that's because, as he explained earlier this month, the baby's sex was a surprise for Gisele: "I wanted to find out and she didn’t, so she said, 'Go ahead.' It will be a surprise for her."

Dasha also gave birth to a son, Aaron Alexander Abramovich, last Thursday — her first and boyfriend Roman Abramovich's sixth. Roman is said to have been by her side, and according to a source, "Dasha grew up in Los Angeles and wanted to give birth there."

Lady Gaga and Francesco Vezzoli Blur Lines Between Art and Entertainment at MOCA Bash

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles spared no expense for its 30th anniversary celebration over the weekend.
by coutorture

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles spared no expense for its 30th anniversary celebration over the weekend. Lady Gaga performed her new ballad, "Speechless" in an art-meets-entertainment spectacle masterminded by Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli. The production featured a dance by the Bolshoi Ballet, Gaga on a pink piano painted with butterflies by Damien Hirst, and costumes by Miuccia Prada.

Hosted by POP magazine's Dasha Zhukova and Larry Gagosian the event was attended by 1,000 guests from the worlds of fashion (Carine Roitfeld, Cameron Silver, Kate and Laura Mulleavy), art (Takashi Murakami, David Hockney, Jeff Koons), music (Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani), and film (Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, James Franco).

"My wish is that the entertainment industry makes love more often with the art industry," said Vezzoli of the production. "I love that," replied Gaga. "Having my fans watch the [performance] video and be exposed to a level of art and a level of installation is so beautiful and so important."

Muiccia Prada celebrated her fashion house's first tome, "Prada: Creativity, Modernity, Innovation" in her Los Angeles flagship Friday night.

Friends and fans including Carine Roitfeld, Emma Roberts, Chloe Sevigny, Liz Goldwyn, Stavros Niarchos, Dasha Zhukova, and Mario Testino joined Prada on the third level of her Rodeo Drive store where trompe l'oeil wallpaper transformed the room into an old world-style library. While in Los Angeles, Muiccia Prada also attended the POP magazine-hosted gala at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Trend Alert: Gray Suede Shoes

No regrets. When I purchased a pair of Derek Lam gray suede sandals on sale at Shopbop last Summer, not only did I pat myself on the back for finding such a great deal, but I wore them with vigor.

No regrets. When I purchased a pair of Derek Lam gray suede sandals on sale at Shopbop last Summer, not only did I pat myself on the back for finding such a great deal, but I wore them with vigor. They magically matched every outfit, and were more interesting than black shoes. They felt very . . . modern.

And that's exactly how Dasha Zhukova looks. Her printed ivory and black dress is thoroughly baby-bump friendly, a little black jacket is smart, and what appears to be a Chanel bag is perfection. But it's her crisscross gray suede platform pumps that remind us she's a fashion editor. They give her a slight edge and added texture.

If you're seeking one worthy shoe investment for Fall, consider a pair of gray suede shoes.

Proenza Schouler Go Urban Scuba for Spring 2010

>> Of all the shows this week, Jack McCollough's and Lazaro Hernandez's Proenza Schouler presentation had the most excitement and energy about it; Joe Zee agreed, calling it "one of the best this week."  We didn't know it at the time, but a piece from the collection actually debuted on Dasha Zhukova during the POP dinner last Friday.

Tonight, the lights above flickered back and forth on the bottom floor of Milk Studios, and with three Trainas in the front row — Victoria, Vanessa, and Samantha — we got to see the full urban scuba collection, which seemed to be a continuation of their Tahiti-inspired resort 2010 collection. Neon printed minidresses mirrored the backs of tropical fish, cateye sunglasses had lifeguard-style reflective lenses, neon tops resembled long sleeve Under Armor, and tinsel and feathers fringed dresses.  One girl sported beachy green-tinged hair, another purple.  And of course the boys, known for their knack with accessories, didn't disappoint with rainbow-linked minibags and strappy toggle wedges.

Afterward, they told Fashion TV's Jeanne Baker they wanted to indulge in color this season, and edited out about half their potential looks from the show to leave people wanting more.
