“Believe it or not, after you’ve weekended in Paris for years, it can get dull, even when you have a lovely pied in the Seventh Arrondissement. So my wife, Anne, and my 13-year-old son, Harrison, decided we needed a road trip. Biarritz, the surfing hot spot in the French Basque region near the Spanish border, had history for Harry, shopping for Anne, and a hotel we would love. We rented a Mercedes-Benz GLK320–their new, smaller SUV–to handle all those winding cliffs.”
–Mario Grauso, the “insatiable globe-roamer” (who presumably spends some time running Vera Wang’s business) in his “Jet-Setter” column in December Elle

Obviously he doesn’t really…but we did put the Barney’s creative director on the spot (along with several others of your favorite chicsters)–and you won’t want to miss it. Behond, the newest Chic Report video!
Karl’s favorite Baptiste Giabiconi goes head-to-head with androgynous model du jourIris Strubegger in this VMAN spread, “Gentlemen of Leisure,” shot by the Kaiser himself. As dishy as Baptiste is (comme toujours), we’re loving the look of the lady in an equally sharp suit–giving the boys a run for their money. Tell us, darlings:
“I love very much the tradition in our company. We have an archive of about 400,000 samples. Tradition and innovation, for me, is linked, and it cannot be divided.” –Hans Schreiber, Creative Director of Forster Rohner on the Swiss textile company’s philosophy. Tune into this video featuring the process behind Isabel Toledo’s fabrics for her latest collection.
While Scarlett Johansson seductively peeling an orange may seem un peu gratuitous, we can’t help but spoil ourselves with a little more ScarJo-endorsed madness. The new advertisement for Dolce & Gabbana’s L’eau the One fragrance features a listless Johansson sitting alone at a kitchen table. The actress suggests, “You might have to get what’s inside to get to what’s sweet… Beauty that’s in your mind, that’s the one.” Très suggestif, non?
Is Madge off Monkey Bar? Good thing Graydon has two dining options. Arriving in an ink blue Ferragamo fur coat with a fox collar, ”M” was spotted dining at the Waverly last night with none other than Naomi Watts. Who knew they were friends?
Kate Moss’ good friend James Brown needs help: he’s decorating his new salon and he needs some aesthetic advice from the most famous person on his Rolodex: Miss Moss. In this particular episode, the pair goes shopping for chandeliers and we learn a thing or two from James Brown’s Supermodel Salon. Watch and learn, darlings…
Quelque chose arrive. Last night, Chic spotted Glenda Baileyavec her entire fashion department (sans assistants, it appeared) hunkering down for din at Graydon’s joint. (Publisher Ed was seated before 6:30). The Bazaar rez was early-ish (7? 7:15? 7:30? At Monkey, who keeps track?), the convo…well, qui sait? Was it an idea meeting? A celebration of sorts? The Daily wonders…
Should Madonna be worried? At last night’s Boom Boom Room bash, social fixture Marjorie Gubelmann had her eye on one man, and one man only–and we don’t mean the gent of the hour, Valentino. A woman on a mission, she waited patiently by the DJ booth until PMc’s Joe could snap a photo of her avec dreamboat Jesus Luz. A cursory glance at Twitter.com/vieluxe (Gubelmann’s feed) reveals the depth of this fixation. Darling, we understand!
