Dries Van Noten's New Paris Men's Boutique

The iconic menswear designer Dries Van Noten is finally opening his first boutique in Paris in the 6th arrondissment across from the Seine River giving admirers and patrons of the collection a chance to shop some of the finest in men's fashions in the world. The shop occupies a space previously used as an art gallery and after viewing photos of the boutique it's no surprise the new store's aesthetics almost mimic a museum of manliness. The store isn't too frilly that a man would be uncomfortable there, but it also isn't boring and uninspired either. I would definitely say that Dries Van Noten's store is certainly a living blueprint of what I want my dream walk-in closet to be. Items are cozily grouped with each other but they also effectively blend into the surrounding living-room style scene which moves the visual merchandising away from the overdone minimalist look of naked racks of clothes and clothes hanging alone in awkward corners. It's the quintessential man-cave, if you will, yet this cave doesn't house the traditional fare of beer-guzzling, misogynistic men who have no qualms about going to market in that shirt they just slept in and whose bodies haven't had the luxury of feeling a cashmere blazer. Check out more photos of the store after the jump.

The New York City Ballet's annual Fall Gala provided an opportunity for New York's glitterati to don their most stylish outfits for a night of beauty and ballerinas. Style.com's People and Parties section took note of the stars who were in attendance such as Matthew Settle from the CW series Gossip Girl who expounded on his fond memories of falling in love with a ballerina after sneaking in a show in Tennessee, Natalie Portman, an actress in the upcoming film Black Swan, Candace Bushnell of the Sex and the City dynasty was also present at Lincoln Center and the embodiment of her character Carrie Bradshaw in Sarah Jessica Parker also appeared in usual glamorous garb in a stunning ethereal peach Halston Heritage gown with a string of large white pearls overlapping silver jeweled necklace. The event went spectacularly and the air of enchantment was there that only an event in New York City can bring. More photos after the jump.
