TOKION got down with lingerie models and red velvet cake last week at The Gates in Chelsea to celebrate the birthday of singer and nightlife impresario Redd Stylez (he's the promotional director and a part owner of the posh lounge). As the official media sponsor, we were psyched to see people flipping through our Chloe Sevigny issue, and even more excited to drink lots of complimentary Absolut Vodka. That dude in lower right-hand corner was really psyched about his haircut.

Not Couture
Posted 12 November 2009 | by Sarah Waiser  

Anyone who hasn't seen the photo of Karl Lagerfeld out and about, sporting his canvas Karl Who? tote, must be living in a deep, dark cave. The tote is by designer NACO, who is known for taking a humorous and minimalist approach to fashion. I loved the tote so much that NACO was kind enough to send me my own rad Karl Who? T-shirt. Thanks!!!! You can find these T's online at www.colette.fr and artydandy.com
