Details about Condé Nast’s NowManifest Acquisition (and the Brants’ Pants) at Jitrois Pop-Up Party

At the party he co-hosted at the Jitrois pop-up store in Soho, Peter Brant II was saying how much he liked his leather pants. “I just think their elastic leather is really fantastic,” said the fast-talking elder son of the Brant Publications magnate and art collector Peter M. Brant and the supermodel Stephanie Seymour. “It looks great on everybody! As you can see,” he said, gesturing to his black-and-silver Jitrois leather pants. The pants cost $2875. “That’s the main attraction.”

“I sometimes wear women’s pants, because I have very very tiny legs,” said Harry Brant. The younger Brant brother declared his Jitrois pants “so comfortable. The nylon looks like leather, but it feels like you’re wearing sweat pants.” Read More

Greater Talent Network’s 30th Anniversary Party: QT with Carl Bernstein, Michael Moore, and Proud Mom Mia Farrow

As The Observer approached the United Nations building yesterday evening, guests were handed an official-looking purple credential with an institutional insignia emblazoned on the front. “This is in case you need to go to the bathroom,” revelers were told.

Bathroom pass in hand, we ambled toward the Greater Talent Network’s 30th Anniversary fete. It was a tented affair, and guests were met with delegate-worthy river views and pomegranate martinis as they entered the space. Inside, a wide array of notables toasted the talent agency. Read More

Obama Excitement and Gummy Worms at Barnard Gala Nights

After the grown-up gala upstairs, which raised $2.3 million for Barnard student scholarships, young Barnard alumnae in cocktail dresses and heels emerged from the Plaza’s second floor elevators.  Older alumnae put on their coats and wandered away as their younger counterparts entered a hall with gilded ceilings and paintings of cherubs. So began the inaugural Barnard Gala Nights, a chance for recent graduates to dance and mingle.

“I don’t know any of these people,” we overheard one blond girl say to another. Read More

DETAILS And Calvin Klein’s ‘Social Mavericks’ Party Celebrates Joe Jonas, Instagram

They call New York City a melting pot, but in reality, you spend most of your days looking at the same faces, the same social group, over and over again. You and your friends don’t really “melt” with other groups of people so much as “occasionally share a train with them.”

Even within the media strata, there are too many sub-communities to name, mostly based around who you work for and who you drink with.

That’s why every once in awhile its nice to go to an event that gets you out of your own social comfort zone by celebrating both Joe Jonas, Instagram co-founders Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom, and Reuters’ Anthony “Soup” De Rosa, as we did at last night DETAILS’ and Calvin Klein co-hosted event, celebrating the magazine’s “Social Mavericks” feature.
