Pam Anderson Designs, Nicole Richie Expands

imageIt looks like Gwyneth Paltrow isn't the only celebrity recently bitten by the designing bug. Add Pamela Anderson to the roster of Hollywood stars crossing over into fashion. While Anderson recently played mused to and starred in ads for Brit sartorial maven Vivienne Westwood, Elle UK says Anderson has teamed up with longtime friend designer Richie Rich (formerly the face behind Heatherette) to create "a collection of leather free shoes and casual pieces entitled Muse." Considering Anderson's style definitely leans more towards the envelope-pushing (think no pants and high heels a la Lady Gaga), there's a good chance the eco-friendly collaboration won't produce frocks for the fashion faint of heart.

Fashion Week: Richie Rich

Fashion Week: Richie Rich In an economic climate where everybody seems to be poor, poor, poor, it's only natural the perfect antidote be rich, rich, rich--or, in this case, Richie Rich, the illustrious other half of the now-defunct Heatherette and recent BlackBook interviewee. Last night Richie showed his true colors, forcing the recession to take a recess.

Richie Rich’s Fashion Show Eve BlackBook Interview

Richie Rich’s Fashion Show Eve BlackBook Interview From mid-’90s club kid with glitter in his eyes (and on his cheeks), Richie Rich ascended to glam-tastic fashion darling with his Heatherette line. After amicably parting ways with his Heatherette collaborator Traver Rains last year when the design duo’s main financial backer pulled out, Rich is debuting his first solo line, Richie Rich, at the Waldorf Astoria this evening. Expect the unexpected: half-naked ballerinas twirling down the runway to Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, for starters. The show’s invite boasts the tagline “Blondes Have More Fun!” The fun-loving, platinum-coiffed Rich, born Richard Eichhorn, has always had a thing for larger-than-life blondes: Anna Nicole Smith and Amanda Lepore have both walked the runway for him (Lepore will be strutting yet again this evening). Here, Rich talks exclusively to BlackBook about the new line, unveiling the candle in the wind that lit his design fire this go-around: Marilyn Monroe. And, good news for all the budget-conscious aspiring hot tranny messes and club kids-at-heart out there—Rich’s new line will feature a mall-friendly price point. Recession, be damned, says Rich: “Bring on the glitter!”

Sundance Music Notes: 50 Cent, Richie Rich, Goo Goo Dolls, Gin Blossoms?

imageWeirdest mix ever. It’s still a bastion of progressive filmmaking, but this year’s Sundance Film Festival is stuck in a time warp when it comes to music guests. While there were a handful of credible singer-songwriters on tap -- the achingly beautiful Rachel Yamagata and Damien Rice both put on memorably moving performances -- the biggest name draws at the Sundance Music Café this year were the frontman of the Goo Goo Dolls and a performance by the Gin Blossoms. Seriously.

Industry Insiders: Tamsin Lonsdale, Supper Clubber

Industry Insiders: Tamsin Lonsdale, Supper Clubber Supper Club's jetsetting Brit Tamsin Lonsdale makes introductions, keeps secrets, and detoxes poolside at Soho House after a rough weekend in Ibiza.

Point of Origin: I went to University in Edinburgh and every birthday party, I’d organize a celebration in our house, a mansion, a house by the water. So that’s where I got my taste for hosting events and getting all my friends together for music and dancing. In 2004 I was a fashion stylist in London doing styling for rock bands, new talent for Creation, the record company, and that was fun. I’d style a lot of the music videos but it wasn’t fulfilling work and it wasn’t like working for myself. I started hosting these dinners and they were really successful.

Manhattan Nightlife Marathon: From Here to Kobe

Manhattan Nightlife Marathon: From Here to Kobe “I’ve got too much on my plate,” a buxom blonde whines over a mound of Kobe beef in a slick corner booth at the Kobe Club. She has no idea. In one night we’re tempted to traipse through most of Manhattan, fitting in Richie Rich’s Rox and Riley Footwear Launch Party at 205 downtown, uptown to the Kobe Club to celebrate the opening of Kobe Beach Club uptown, chat up Eva Mendes at Calvin Klein, and gawk at the Bravo Awards after-party. We certainly have a lot on our plate tonight, and it's not sirloin.

Pretty in Pink

imageParty monster label Heatherette had, shockingly, a party last night to celebrate the launch of their tag-team with MAC cosmetics. The jam was dripping pink, bubblegum pops, and candy shops. Teyana Taylor performed to honor the lads who got her wearing dresses. Clone-heads Andrew and Andrew spun in their matching lensless white-framed specs, and Heatherette leads Richie Rich and Traver Rains sparkled amongst all that glitter.
