Stella McCartney makes her mark in Asia!

An English pub isn’t the first thing one might expect to see in the middle of a luxury mall in Beijing. But leave it to Stella McCartney to bring a taste of the UK to the Chinese megalopolis. Tuesday night, the designer opened her first Beijing store and invited guests to toast the milestone with pints of Guinness and Pimm’s Cups. Partygoers noshed on chips and tapped their toes to nineties Brit pop while perusing the airy two-story boutique. Fittingly, the eco-conscious McCartney chose a green location for the new space. Replete with sustainable oak parquet floors and recyclable aluminum tiles, the shop is set inside the recently opened Parkview Green mall—the first LEED-certified commercial development in China.

McCartney wasn’t long for Beijing, though, as the opening was just one leg of a whirlwind Asian tour. Earlier in the week, McCartney traveled to Tokyo to open her second store in the city, and Wednesday night she hosted a black-tie dinner at the Astor House Hotel in Shanghai. In true McCartney style, the event, which drew local celebrities, as well as catwalkers such as Du Juan and Emma Pei, boasted everything from contortionist acts to live jazz to a presentation of evening looks from the designer’s Fall ’13 collection

See and Be Scene: Jeannette Montgomery Barron on Her New Book - style file

From Warhol’s Factory to Basquiat’s studio, throughout the eighties, downtown Manhattan was the place for young creative types to be. Photographer Jeannette Montgomery Barron was there, and her new tome, Scene, is a sort of yearbook of the time, documenting the likes of Cindy Sherman, Keith Haring, Francesco Clemente, Willem Dafoe, and more early in their careers. “I was just a fly on the wall,” recalls Montgomery Barron, speaking at Indochine, one of her old haunts. (“It looks almost exactly the same, but there were a lot of drugs happening in the bathrooms back then.”) This afternoon, she’ll sign copies of Scene—which, in addition to the snaps, features personal anecdotes about each artist—at Bookmarc, and starting tomorrow, a select group of her black-and-white photographs will be on display in an exhibition at ClampArt. Here, Montgomery Barron discusses her book, and reminisces about shooting Warhol, working out with Bianca Jagger, and spending time with Basquiat.

Target Launches Bridal Collection (And Not One Wedding Dress is Over $129)

Sorry bridezillas, but we think this is genius: Target has launched an in-house line of bridal dresses called Tevolio—and it’s quite chic. The kicker: Every wedding dress costs between $99.99 and $129.99.

The line—a loose translation of the Italian phrase Ti Voglio (“I love you”)—also features customizable dresses for bridesmaids and flower girls, but we’re seriously impressed with the gowns for the lady of the hour. However, princess brides and cupcake wannabes can stop reading now, as the silhouettes offered are super-minimalist and sleek—two Carolyn Bessette-style silky sleeveless cuts, one capped-sleeve style, and one simple strapless gown.

It seems exceptionally smart of the mass retailer to break into the bridal game, especially since women historically love to buy items that look chic without spending a ton of money. Plus, during the last ten years or so, Target has become an acceptable—even preferred—place for style-minded consumers to go, so it’ll be interesting to see if that mindset spills over into wedding dress shopping.

It’s also worth noting that Target smartly decided to manufacture each dress in a wide range of sizes—wedding gowns span sizes 2 to 18, while bridesmaids styles go up to size 24.

Cannes: Behind-the-Scenes at Dior’s Beauty Suite

Every year at Cannes, Dior sets up shop at the Majestic — the massive five-star hotel on the Croisette that serves as base camp for film-festival shmoozing. While most of the showbiz crowd runs from event to event like crazed chickens, stars wearing Dior gowns to premieres are whisked up to the sprawling sixth-floor suite to be made up by pros before facing the flashing lights and screaming fans. Here, silence and calm reign: Spotless makeup stations are tucked into discreet corners; the nail bar is stocked with every color. All this is set off by the jaw-dropping sweep of the Mediterranean — and a bird’s-eye view of the red carpet at the Palais des Festivals. And after finishing with a client, the makeup team gathers on the wraparound terrace to cheer them on as they climb the Palais steps. La classe.
