Fashion and Film

The scene at Marc Jacob's after party.
Marc Jacobs, the sort of enfant terrible of contemporary American fashion, held a triumphant show of his fall collection Friday night at the 26th Street Armory with the likes of Kevin Federline and Victoria Beckham in the packed house and Sonic Youth peroforming a rock concert on stage. So that when it came to the after party, everyone was ready to celebrate.

They held a book signing for Kenneth Paul Block last Tuesday night at Bergdorf’s and drew a stellar crowd of fans and friends for the man whose famous style is recognized everywhere either by name or not.

As a longtime in-house illustrator for Fairchild Publications, drawing numerous covers for W and for Women’s Wear Daily, as well as advertisement for Bergdorf’s, Bonwit Teller, Mr. Block is among the foremost American fashion illustrators of the 20th century.

His work includes dozens of illustration/portraits of such icons as Jackie Onassis, Babe Paley and the Duchess of Windsor.
