For the past two seasons, we (my Sophomore partner Madeline von Froomer and I) have thrown a party during Paris Fashion Week at Le Baron. We're a New York-based band, but we've g0t lots of French friends, like André and Olivier Zahm. They always bring a party with them to New York, so why not return the favor?

This year photographer Cass Bird and I made a film for our Spring lookbook. Every season we shoot my peers, young New Yorkers like Donald Cumming, Bijoux Phillips, and Jen Brill. This year artists Rita Ackermann, Aurel Schmidt, and Lucien Smith messed around, with over a half-dozen of my friends. The film is a ten-minute short, shot documentary-style, to get to know the kids we shoot every season, and the new ones.  We showed the film while Harley Viera Newton and Cassie Coane DJ'ed. I just told them to play the kind of music you would hear at a Bar Mitzvah—which is pretty much what comes natural to them. I don't remember much from that night but the photos look like everyone had fun!

Finally recovered from the New York Fashion Week (and nursing a certainyl un-deserved cold as a result), Sophomore designer Chrissie Miller has pieced her advenutre through the week. She spent it at the Alexander Wang and Charlotte Ronson shows, Avenue and the Jane Hotel (een at times the subway!). Along the way she found DJs—her boyfriend Leo Fitzpatrick, Lesley Arfin, Cassie Coane, and of course, Lindsay Lohan.
