With her new role as a transgender assassin, Chloë Sevigny—actress, New York City style icon, and torchbearer of a certain kind of downtown feminine cool—finally gets a chance to show us everything she’s got. And as it turns out, a little bit more.
Paz de la Huerta has officially been let go from Boardwalk Empire. http://t.co/gg75efGr
Joan Rivers has had plastic surgery 739 times. We're impressed she kept counting after 300! http://t.co/dKbGenSA
Would it be too mean to suggest Kim Kardashian is getting religious because churches literally can't turn her away? http://t.co/piCCAR6G
Studio 54 is sort of reopeningbut, as @mikeymusto points out, sans the sex and drugs that made it fun. http://t.co/nLUQj5Xl
The Artist's Uggie, America's favorite post-Eddie-and-Skip Jack Russell Terrier, is sick with a shaking syndrome! http://t.co/BtHpPGMZ
Paris-born designer Kevork Kiledijan's high hemlines and body-hugging leathers show off the feminine form to the nth degree. But it's the former Triiad and Guilty Brotherhood designer's fantastic cuts and use of materials that morph his work into something far fuller and more refined than you might expect from someone so synonymous with the "s word."
Italian design house Bottega Veneta, loved around the world for its exquisite luxury and its work with leather, also has a disco side, which comes out in its Spring 2012 campaign video, by artist Jack Pierson.
Tomorrow marks the opening day of Istanbul Fashion Week, the day before New York starts its own. Undoubtedly, most of the fashion glitterati will have their eyes firmly fixated on the runways of Lincoln Center, but for Turkey-born, Vienna-based Atil Kutoglu, who showed his collection in the Big Apple for nearly nine years, it's now all about Istanbul.
Mike Waxx and Mike Carson are the entrepreneurial types—the dynamic duo have created several videos for the likes of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music troupe, run a successful website called Illroots, and have recently released a modish (and fast-selling) clothing line aptly titled IllAmerica.
Killing Pablo, Joe Carahan's Pablo Escobar film based on Mark Bowden's book of the same name, has a tumultuous development history. Originally announced in 2007 as one of two competing Escobar movies (the other one, Escobar, was also indefinitely shelved), Pablo's producer went bankrupt in 2008 and not much has been heard of the project since.
This week: Moonrise Kingdom vs. Wanderlust, two movies about couples trekking out for epic adventures in nature, with hilarious actors to fill in the rest of the movie magic.
Borderline Films' latest offering, Campos' Simon Killer, was picked up not by any major studio's indie distribution shingle but rather by the vaunted IFC Films—perhaps suggesting that Borderline's true home will always be within the ultra-indie world.
You have to have final cut--you absolutely have to have it. Otherwise, you're gonna die.David Lynch
Visionary comedians Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim stormed Sundance this year with their debut feature Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, an absurdly funny film made on a low budget, and also co-starred in The Comedy, a drama.
With a background in theater, soaps, and indies, Peter Vack's major TV comedic debut is a slight change of pace for the USC grad and native New Yorker, who was reciting Shakespeare with seasoned actors while his high-school peers toiled away with the Sparknotes.
Fans of BBC America or anyone who's ever lived in England will probably remember Jack Davenport as Steve from Coupling or Miles from This Life. To everyone else, he's best known for his role as Commodore Norrington in Pirates of the Caribbean. With his new role on NBC's Smash, however, Davenport has the potential to become a household name.
Here's our compendium of pop-culture news you may have missed while you were doing more important things over the weekend.
Writer Ramona Ausubel defies the harnesses of history with her debut novel, No One is Here Except All of Us. During World War II, an isolated Jewish village in Romania decides to ignore the horrors of the real world and start over from scratch.
Mike Kelley, acclaimed installation artist and musician, has died at the age of 58, of an apparent suicide. In 2009, Interview editor Glenn O'Brien sat down with Kelley, an artist whose aesthetic he appraised as "Joseph Beuys meets James Brown, or Marcel Duchamp meets The Contortions."
Alec Soth spent five years seeking out men who were hiding from the world, and tonight he shows the results at his first show at Sean Kelly Gallery. The legendary Minneapolis-based photographer of Americana returns to New York to show "Broken Manual" for the first time in its entirety. (It's previously only shown in parts at the Walker Center for the Arts, and in a special-edition book.)
Tim Barber's recent book of photographs isn't self-titled. It's just called Untitled Photographs. Published with OHWOW, the monograph originated with an 2010 exhibition of Barber's work at the OHWOW gallery in Miami, and this week, Barber is launching the book in Europe with a presentation at London gallery Mother.
Design Voices, a new e-book from Coolhunting contributor Anna Carnick and Print contributing editor Jeremy Lehrer, sets out to illustrate today's design scene moment by consulting some of the world's most iconic creators, among them Maarten Baas, Dror Benshetrit, Giulio Cappellini, Milton Glaser, Ross Lovegrove, Stefan Sagmeister, Massimo Vignelli, and Tokujin Yoshioka.
For "Being With You," his solo exhibition at Lehmann Maupin, Sandro Kopp has taken the idea of the mediated portrait into the digital era. Consisting of a series of real-time portraits that Kopp did of subjects that sat for him not in the flesh, but rather via Skype, the exhibition marries the practice of 19th century oil painting with modern communication.
Although a certain nebbishy auteur has come to stand as the paradigm of the New York director, there are arguably two other candidates well suited for that honor. Martin Scorsese and Spike Lee were not only both raised in the city, but they've built a close friendship while comparing notes over the years.
