Dear Urban Outfitters:

Thank you for carrying these tights from Look From London.

I think I speak for everyone when I say

Best.

Tights.

Ever.

Now -

Do they also come in purple?

($38 at Urban Outfitters).

“Hey Faran,

Here are some pictures a friend took of me in an abandoned underground parking garage.

It’s a graffiti lover’s dream down there!

–Elizabeth Kahn.”

Good, now next time, remember to smile with your eyes.

If you have graffiti, send it to faran@nylonmag.com

It’s okay if you’re not in the picture, too.  That’s just like a bonus.

A few days ago I went to the opening exhibition for Jean-Marc Gady at Gallery R’Pure - a space reputed to host cutting-edge and narrative design works.

With ‘French Cancan’ - A circular outline of pleated lampshades, and his A.M.O. vase that ‘plays with imbalance and illusion’,  Jean-Marc takes ordinary household objects and creates them into bold statement pieces that create a new dialogue about composition and movement. I particularly enjoyed Gady’s ‘Gourmet Plate’, a series of connected flat circular surfaces - as if the larger plate had blossomed from its nodes. The various contents of a bento-box could be elegantly placed and garnished on this plate, adding a new level of elegance to even the simplest shumai.

A former art director (for display windows and events) for Louis Vuitton, Gady is a design talent one should watch.

The exhibition runs from March 25th until May 19th.

That he was wearing pants in his April NYLON spread and they were Jeremy Scott for Adidas.  Thank you.

Obsessively stalking Net-a-Porter is a frequent NYLON past time, but sometimes looking at $5000 dresses can be a drag - even if they are by Alexander McQueen.

Creator Natalie Manasset must agree, because next month, she’s launching The Outnet (get it? like “outlet?”) for discount designer goodies.

That means Mr. McQueen’s dresses could go for a really low price, like $1000!

Wait, we still can’t afford that.

Um…

eBay?
