British indie duo The Ting Tings are back with new track “Hands”. The couple first came to our attention in 2007 with number one smash hit single “That’s not my name” which came from the 2 million selling album We Started Nothing. Hands is released next week with second album Sophomore due to be released at the end of the year.

So many colors, worn so many ways NOW in NYC

As the Hudson trend spotter, just as I found a lot of basics worn by the in crowd in recent weeks (view post), fashionistas from both coasts also pluck the rainbow. Seen here in the slideshow, LA “it girl” Liz Goldwyn poses in vintage black and chartreuse gown with painter Rosson Crow, in cherry red Zac Posen. Arden Wohl wears Miu Miu and often bright tights! The red shoes are Sonia Rykiel. Stylist Christopher Niquet wears an embellished mint green shirt while hugging actress Paz De La Huerta, wearing Dolce & Gabbana. Also check out the LD Tuttle gold sandals.

Around town since recently, a mix of black, white, gray and understated. **All could be perfectly paired with Hudson jeans!

Two recent schools of “looks” seem to have emerged in stylish circles in NYC. The first one, I’ll call “the minimalist,” refers to the use of base tones, black, white and gray. Check out some of those seen in this Hudson slideshow. Black boots, the studded ones worn by girl about town Becky Diamond, and the Doc Martens, seen on the feet of model Jethro Cave (Nick’s son), were shot in the back of a town car on the way to Kenmare. Social denizen Genevieve Jones donned some black tights and pumps with her ivory lace Valentino dress. Budding photographer Gavin Doyle dons a black and white tee with gothic images and “the Cobrasnake,” aka Mark Hunter, seen shooting at a fashion show opts for a similar toned Comme des Garcons, paired with jeans. Designer Tara Subkoff (the blonde pixie), stencils her own gray sweatshirt with a mantra in black letters. Ditto for Adam Whitney Nichols — in black fedora — who drew his version of Picasso’s bull on his shirt. (Nichols will launch “Fortnight Journal” in a couple of weeks with the help of his best pal, Patti Smith. Fortnight will feature people under thirty who are taking over the world with special creative talent and curiosity.)

To check out the new location of the Bortolami Gallery in the next month could count as a crash course in all the hottest names in contemporary art. Some are trendier than most and the quality goes from passable to absolutely great and well worth a visit. The show — entitled “Redressing” — features Dan Colen, Cecily Brown, Sue Webster and Tim Noble, Hanna Liden, Sean Landers, Hope Atherton, and Avner Ben-Gal — to mention a few.

The name fits the show since the walls are covered with one piece per featured artist. Check out the Hudson slideshow (above) for a preview. “Redressing”, Bortolami Gallery, 520 West 20th Street, until November 6th.

Snow and Taxi’s is Gold Panda’s latest release.
