“A great party needs three things: people you love, people you don’t know, and at least one person you probably shouldn’t be talking to,” @derekblasberg says. He would know. From growing up in St. Louis and interning at W to attending multiple Met Galas and rubbing shoulders with everyone from Valentino Garavani and Celine Dion to Dua Lipa and Mariah Carey, Blasberg has spent decades at the heart of fashion’s social scene. For our latest installment of Life in Parties, the writer and bon vivant opens his personal archive to revisit the people, places, and unforgettable nights that shaped him. Link in bio for the full story.

Last night, Diane von Furstenberg was the last guest on the last day of the ‘Andy Warhol Family Album’ exhibition at the Whitney. The Polaroids came from an album Warhol assembled himself, given to the Whitney by his foundation in 2014—one of six donated to six different museums. Among those pictures were Diane’s 1973 Polaroids, which became the basis for four silk-screen portraits he made of her. (Yes, she still owns them all.) That glamorous pose, with her arm folded over her head? A decorating problem. Andy needed white backgrounds for these Polaroids, and her Park Avenue apartment was so exuberantly decorated—it was the ’70s!—that the only suitable spot was a narrow stretch of kitchen wall between two doors. Her elbow is raised like that to fit in the frame. As with many of his portraits, Andy used the Polaroids as the basis for silkscreen paintings, transforming spontaneous quick-shot poses into iconic portraits in vivid colors. As DVF left the show, someone asked her to sum up Andy in one word. “Voyeur,” she said. “He didn’t say much—but he saw everything.”

This fall, Richard Avedon takes center stage in three events devoted to the photographer: a new book of oral history, “Richard Avedon: The Harper’s Bazaar Years,” coming out on October 15; the exhibition “Richard Avedon: Hollywood,” opening at the Beverly Hills Gagosian Gallery on November 4; and the release of the Netflix documentary “Avedon,” directed by Ron Howard, on November 11.
To mark the occasion, two longtime aficionados—Amy Fine Collins and Derek Blasberg—discuss why his images still loom so large. Read more in Dress Code. Link in bio.

Amazing Grace. But literally!
Starting with the launch of Grace Coddington’s new book, Now, and working my way through all the martinis, croissants, and my two favorite Celines (Dion and Michael Rider’s) in Paris—here’s part 2 of my #PFW diary.
I came, I saw, I selfied! 🇫🇷🥐

No, really—we’re only halfway through Paris fashion week. Here’s #PFW, part 1.
Special shoutout to Jonathan and the Dior team for hosting the kickoff for “Richard Avedon: The Harper’s Bazaar Years,” which comes out October 13!

Together, toasting and honoring the legacy of the man that is one of the architects of fashion as we know it today. Swipe through for a look inside, then click the link in bio for more.

Arrivederci, Milan Fashion Week! (Or maybe not?)
Three glorious days immersed in the sartorial splendors of Prada, Salvador Dalí, Schiaparelli, Vogue World, and Renzo Mongiardino—and one unexpected night at the airport hotel (last slide). Thanks a lot, Delta.

@mellodyhobson was five when she says she realized she was a "mutant." Following that realization she spent her life ascending the ladders of the business world—serving on the boards at Starbucks, JPMorganChase, and becoming a trustee at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Her next mission, though, was much more personal. Along with her husband, acclaimed director and filmmaker George Lucas, the two built and opened the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles—the first museum dedicated fully to storytelling in the visual form. At the link in our bio, she opens up to @derekblasberg about the endeavor, along with bits and pieces of the life story that brought her to this moment.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away—OK, it was last night in Exposition Park—George Lucas and Mellody Hobson opened the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. The two have spent more than a decade (and more than a billion bucks) building something truly ambitious: a museum devoted to myth, storytelling, and the images that shape how we see the world.
There are digitally recreated prehistoric cave paintings, Norman Rockwells hanging alongside comics, works by Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Banksy, movie costumes, illustrations, murals—and, yes, Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder. More than 1,200 objects are on view at opening, inside architect Ma Yansong’s spectacular spaceship of a building.
George calls what they collect “the people’s art”: the images and stories we grow up with, remember, repeat, and pass along. Earlier this year, during a hard-hat tour, Mellody explained that entering the museum was like “walking inside of George’s brain.” Well, the brain is open for business on September 22–and it’s extraordinary.
P.S. Special shout-out to Willow Bay, who understood the assignment and wore the Yoda gown from Rodarte’s Fall 2014 collection. The fashion force is with you ✨

I just published a photo book about going out—but this last stop on the book tour felt like coming home.
Thanks to everyone—especially you, Mom and Dad—for squeezing into Bookmarc to celebrate Fast + Louche, a collection of my Interview columns from 2009 to 2012. It celebrates an era of late nights, world travels, and fabulous Pop culture characters at a time when we were much more worried about losing a digital camera than Instagram followers.
The party was a reminder that many of the people who made New York feel so exciting when I first got here are the same ones who make it feel like home now. Special shout-outs to my editor, Sarah Andelman; Christopher Bollen for writing the introduction; Interview’s Mel Ottenberg for hosting this soiree; Marc Jacobs for lending his bookshop, a verifiable West Village institution; and Fabiola Beracasa for the nightcaps. (All of them 🍸)
Also, yes, the irony of posting on Instagram about a book that celebrates the glorious days of going out before social media is not lost on me. But here we are!

Thank you for the photos, @stosdada and @abigailwornock @saywho!

My #NYFW photo dump—19 pictures from fashion week and one shot of my man and my muse.
P.S. Instagram, we need to be able to tag more than 20 people. Frankly, it’s inhumane.
