Shots of folks around town: around Nolita, LES

No, it’s not the band Super Furry Animals! But rather, the gals and some guys about downtown are piling on the fur when it falls below 40 degrees Fahrenheit at night in Gotham city and I’ve seen some creative pieces. Check out the party girls — on in white mink and the other in lynx fur– and the dude in the fedora and beaver vest. Sometimes it’s fake fur like a leopard hat done like a pimp’s signature cap or a twenties style football coat. A good imitation still gives all the style without pissing off the animal rights folks.  But, any way you cut it, fur chubbies and mid coats are out in full force. They would perfectly pair with Hudson jeans and boots around NYC for a very seductive look.

Uffie performs tracks from her latest album, “Sex and Denim Jeans”

How could I resist checking out electro pop singer Uffie at Don Hill’s when her latest album — released this summer — is titled “Sex and Denim Jeans?” So I slid into one of my hottest pairs of skinny Hudson jeans and headed to the rock bar on Spring Street to check her out.

Born Anna Chaterine Hartley in Florida, she turns twenty three next month and she gave birth to a little girl last year at this time. She’s already divorced from French graffiti artist/party promoter, Andre Saraiva, but she still collaborates with her previous ex boyfriend DJ Feadz. She’s lived in Hong Kong, Paris, and Boca Raton Florida, so it’s safe to say Uffie represents a woman of the world even at a young age. And this latest album has really tracked ground, especially in Europe and the UK.  The track “Robot Oeuf” was featured in Pedro Almodovar’s movie “Broken Embraces.”  And her nick name — given by her father — means “Little Egg.”

“Sex and Denim Jeans” includes tracks with Pharrell Williams and the Rapture. The other night, a frigid one in the city, Uffie pulled some geek cool guy on the stage and encouraged him to get down. Looks like a chicken dance to me, but the crowd loved it. (See our exclusive Hudson video clips below!)

Just when we thought Victoria Bartlett’s sexy cross colored silk and cashmere tanks could only be found at ultra exclusive hard to find boutiques, Ms. Vicki opened up her first NYC outpost. And, unlike stuffy uptown cocktails, she placed three revolving deejays at the turntables and served strong hard liquor cocktails. VPL also showcased new star, troubadour/writer Zane Alan McWilliams (originally profiled in Fortnight Journal and whom Hudson featured in an exclusive video just last week).

Filmmaker turned pastry chef, Arden Wohl, played co-host and she offered that in the future she’d like to design mini cup cakes with VPL lingerie painted on them in cream. Guests included The Last Magazine co-founders Magnus Berger and Tenzin Wild; Adi, Gabi, and Ange from ThreeAsFour; Hannelore on the turntables; and a host of downtown cool creatives.

Finally, I can now support my addiction to sexy VPL beaded and silky tops that look so good with all of my Hudson jeans. Together, they make for a perfect combination of strong, sexy, and feminine.

Check it out at VPL, 5 Mercer Street at Howard, NYC.

A couple nights ago, Kartell — the uber cool furniture design store based here in Soho– opened its doors to Whitewall Magazine, the art publication,  to showcase its Fall fashion issue. The mag features stories on Stella McCartney’s art collection, photos by Hedi Slimane, and a profile on colorful urban artist Kehinde Wiley.

But before I curled up with my issue later that evening, I was struck by all the eye popping pieces at Kartell! The brand, the biggest manufacturer of plastic furniture in the world, launched in Milan six decades ago. Kartell furniture doubles as art pieces themselves. You’ll find chairs — one named “Mr. Impossible” — by Philippe Starck and hanging mushroom shaped lamps by Ferruccio Laviani. Every so often, Kartell exhibits its collections at the Centre Pompidou in Paris of the Kunstalle in Bonn. Check out the Barbie chair in the Hudson slideshow, made last year to mark Barbie’s fiftieth anniversary. (The entire Milan store was decorated in pink like a Barbie dream house.)

Some of the pieces, like couches can run over a thousand dollars, but you can buy a Starck chair in the three hundred range! That’s not bad to fulfill the fantasy of sitting on a sturdy lollipop. It’s great fun! Check out Kartell NYC, 39 Greene Street, between Broome and Grand
