Yes, the Art Week Style.Uz 2009 in Tashkent has already passed, but we’re still talking about it. Like we told you few weeks ago, Sting made it all way to Uzbekistan for the event, where he joined beautiful Dr. Gulnara Karimova (center) front row at fashion shows and beyond. The superstar closed the week with a concert at the Tashkent Sate Opera and two giant screens were positioned in the square outside the State Theater to accommodate all of those who couldn’t get tickets to the charity performance. And believe it or not, the entire city knew every word to nearly all the songs in the set. The Grammy winner even extended his stage time to the delight of the Uzbeki crowd…
Following Lara Stone’s controversial turn in French Vogue and a recent episode of America’s Next Top Model, it seems that blackface is a veritable (if unlikely) trend. Mario Sorrenti photographed Sasha Pivovarova and Heidi Mount in this shot for the latest issue of V, which hits newsstands November 3. James Kaliardos made up the lovely ladies–and we’re sure the image will have as many fans as it does detractors. What say you, chicsters?

Knuckle dusters get a tough-chick rep (and so do skulls!) but there is something quite delicate and pretty about this Alexander McQueen silver and Swarovski crystal ring. Even the most fragile souls will receive a heavy dose of hardened-edge when sporting this bauble.
Remember that offensive leg lamp in A Christmas Story? This leggy ceiling lamp by industrial designer Jonas Lönborg is a much brighter, punchier version of the famed film lamp! In the spirit of Friday and Halloween, lighten up and show a little neon leg!
After Danny Roberts of Igor + André attempted to carve a pumpkin and it went terribly awry, he created this quirky piece of pumpkin art: A Coco Rocha jack-o-latern! We wonder what other models would look this svelte painted on a pumpkin?
Anya Hindmarch knows that there is nothing sweeter than a shopping excursion followed by a tasty treat of milk and cookies, and that is why she has teamed up with Platine Bakery. The charming bakery will arrive in LA’s Anya Hindmarch shop this November. The store will offer café style seating amidst her collection, and shoppers can partake in complimentary tea and Platine goodies. And here is one more serving of sugar: 15% percent of the proceeds from all Anya Hindmarch sales during the platine Pop-Up Bakery will benefit the children of CoachArt. We like the way you think, Anya!

In this economy, we sincerely support women who repeat purchased dresses at events…unless they wear the outfits two night in a row. Veronica Webb made this strange faux pax with her pleasant Sophie Theallet dress. She posed in her frock at CAN IT!!! Gala (a designer trash bin event) and while hosting the Indochine book party last night. Curiously, the latter event happened at Bergdorf Goodman–so it’s not like there weren’t any last minute options around her…

“I’m a lucky girl. I get be dressed by Francisco, and I get to work with Tom (Ford). And Tom as a director was a pleasure to be around with. Besides being a friend, he really took joy in every single moment. He just kept telling me: ‘Wow! I’m having so much fun and I love this so much.’ So, that made every day at work really inspiring.”- Julianne Moore on her A Single Man auteur at last night’s First Annual Art Awards.

Patricia Clarkson looked perfectly pretty in a pink Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti gown last night at a screening of Amelia. The actress is currently in Qatar for the 2009 Doha Tribeca Film Festival (yes, you read that right).
Here’s a designer created holiday product you can actually be excited about. Christian Siriano just designed a Mini Starbucks Card that will in company’s stores from November 17. It will work like any other company gift card, but it’s obviously smaller and chicer. “This year, the Card design that I created with Starbucks is all about putting the spirit of fashion and giving into your life for the Holidays,” said Siriano. “And maybe a Frappuccino Blended beverage, too. I can’t get enough of those!” Another big reason to stock up on these? As part of this collaboration Starbucks made a donation in honor of Christian’s charity, The Art of Elysium and his workshop that will benefit the foundation’s gala in January.
