The annual Spring Fashion issue of New York magazine has arrived, in honor of our city's fabulous fashion week. While we always feel like we're missing out on some kind of media gossip or teen sex romp with fashion or food focused NY issues, we like to think of this week as a seven day stretch where everyone in the media just ignores themselves for a hot minute.
In this week's New York the fashion is not limited to fashion week. We have Versace, Karl Lagerfeld (who we think was the topic of last year's spring fashion issue, too), Julianne Moore, and the auctioning of a vintage couture closet. Plus, more James Frey/JT Leroy analysis. There is a bit of news, and some restaurant reviews, but who can think about eating or thinking when there is Tom Ford to be worn?
• Summing up Versace in two words has never been easier than "Happy Hooker." [Ask a Shop Clerk, Denise Penny]
• He's fake, his sister's fake, even JT Leroy's dad is fake. Too bad only one of them is somewhat talented. [JT LeRoy’s Fake Dad Shops Tell-All, Geoffrey Gray]
• Everyone loves Karl Lagerfeld; but how ever does this magazine manage to get so many Amy Sacco quotes in its pages? Well, at least they threw a Lindsay Lohan "I want to have everything," quote in there. [Karl Lagerfeld, Boy Prince of Fashion, Vanessa Grigoriadis]
• Damn, our mom passed down a few Tahari sweaters and Gucci purses but silk Pucci handbags from the sixties? We are begging Sandra Hamburg not to sell! [Closet Analysis, Rebecca Cascade]
• And, in case you still want to eat after that anorexia inducing fashion spread, Adam Platt brings us a decadent review of Mario Batali’s new eatery, Del Posto. [Vegas on the Hudson, Adam Platt]
