Rumors at RVCA, Theyskens Sees a Flea
02/18/2010 03:10 PM
Fabiola begins Fashion Week:
I was wearing a 2000 Spring/Summer Theyskens look to the designer's book-signing at Barneys on Wednesday night. When he saw the dress he literally barreled through the crowd. He'd only seen it from behind, but he came forward and demanded, "Where did you get that dress?" I didn't have the heart to tell him I bought it at a flea market.
And humility and news from Erin Wasson x RVCA:
Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld, PC Valmorbida, and Stavros Niarchos sit second row RVCA. It's a very big-boss move for Stavros, who just bought RVCA. It’s rumored that Erin won’t keep designing now that he’s bought it.

Cody Ross: Wall Street Mascara
02/01/2010 08:12 AM
When I first met Cody Ross, he had invited me to his house to view his collection. As soon as the 30-year-old hipster with sky-high bleach blonde hair opened the door to his beautiful West Village townhouse, I thought, "another privileged kid with a fashion line."
That will teach me to judge. I soon came to find out that he is a veritable self-made wiz kid who's as creative as he is computive. Originally from Dallas, Texas, (although he speaks and writes fluent Chinese, and has a photograhic memory) Cody started his career in finance, to great success. His personal fanny pack-inclined sense of style, however, was under-appreciated, while under his desk he sketched and scouted fabrics.
Years later, Ross decided to take on fashion full time with a line called PRIESTESS NYC. Here we catch up on the designer's second and perhaps well-timed career:
FABIOLA BERACASA: What is your line all about?
ROSS: It's a womenswear and unisex label that's all about ‘transgression, kitsch and street-style.' It's part ‘80s revival, part futurism with a dollop of goth-glam. The label's underpinnings are a blend of underground, cult, modernist and directional themes. The broad aesthetic leans toward the edgy and avant-garde. The clothes are totally wearable and thoroughly approachable—especially for girls who have a penchant for distinct and quirky stuff.
BERACASA: Where did you get your education?
ROSS: The London School of Economics and Central Saint Martins... and lots of DIY.
BERACASA: What is your signature style?
ROSS: Jumpsuits and rompers... And lots of flashy-monochrome finishes, and crazy prints.
BERACASA: Who is the Priestess NYC girl'?
ROSS: She's a synthesis of Juliette Lewis, Leigh Lezark and Natalie Portman; she's opinionated, knowledgeable and highly individualized girl who is a little irreverent and outlandish - but with lots of nuance.
BERACASA: What is sexy to you?
ROSS: I like cheerleaders, heavy mascara and pigtails. Raphael Young shoes are hot, too.

What Goes at Boom Boom... Comes Home
12/21/2009 12:54 PM
FABIOLA BERACASA, EDDIE BORGO, MAGNUS BERGER
Jewelry designer Eddie Borgo and I met just two months ago at a party (who can remember which?) and already my house has become a temporary base of his operations! On that first night, we met at Cafe Cluny in West Village with stylist Keegan Singh and The Last Magazine editor Magnus Berger. Of course, one drink turned into the Boom Boom Room (on the Standard Hotel's top floor) until 4 AM, during which we planned a lifetime of shared events—holidays, volunteering to rescue dogs, yoga retreats, the works. Last week one such promise was fulfilled when I hosted a trunk show of Eddie's jewelry at my home. Thursday night coincided with holiday shopping, and one lucky visitor nabbed Borgo's prize piece, a gold cuff with wooden spikes. Like any good night at Boom Boom we had bellinis (courtesy Moet) and, inevitably, cheesesteaks.

I cant exactly remember how long I've known Zani Gugelmann. It was at least 10 years ago, and years later she confided that initially she thought I was mixed up in a crazy crowd. At the time I was sporting a metal tongue ring and as many hard-core chains as I could wear out of the house—but that's another story...
Since then Zani has come into her own. She's a classic beauty with style, and she's deeply rooted in charity. That's why even though her new line of jewelry, Santo, featuring jewelry in the shape of bullets, might sound menacing, all the pieces are affiliated with charity. Here we discuss the real meaning of the proverbial "silver bullet."
BERACASA: This line, Santo by Zani, is not your first jewelry endeavor.
GUGELMANN: I was doing a collection called Filigrana, for which I made the type of filigree earrings from Peru, where my mother is from. But it took a lot of time because I had to go back to Peru three times a year. I was dependent upon a lot of people. I started that in 2002, and after six years it's time to take the next step.
BERACASA: And so the next step was bullets as jewelry?
GUGELMANN: Basically, yes. I went from pretty, fashionable jewelry to conceptual jewelry.
BERACASA: To "kick your ass" jewelry.
GUGELMANN: From beautiful but plain and flirtatious jewelry to a hardcore bullet. Everyone is drawn to skulls, dog tags—objects that could be considered negative but are positive and glorified.
