Dressed head to toe in Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony + featuring the Freixenet mini bottle
Vestida por Chloe Sevigny para Opening Ceremony + la botella Freixenet mini


Fashion and cinema icon Chloe Sevigny has designed a collection for Opening Ceremony that brings back the modettes of the 60s revolutions. She presented the line at St Marks Church in the Bowery last Saturday during NYFW. The presentation consisted of 5 stages where her band friends, including Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth, played a selection of songs that had London vibes. Models posed at each stage as if they were part of a demonstration, with topics that referred to feminism, and politics. One of the surprises was that Chloe (above) was one of the models. And I testify as a witness that she didn't break character, not even when her close friends would stand in front of her. Drinks were courtesy of Freixenet, the mini bottles are just perfect for this because we can drink straight from the bottle without a glass, and it was a lot of fun to write with the golden markers. You can see the collection, the guests, and the bar in the photos below. Photos by Paul Bruinooge of Patrick McMullan.

Chloe Sevigny, icono de moda y de cine, ha disenado una coleccion para Opening Ceremony que trae de vuelta a las modettes de los revolucionarios 60. Presento su nueva linea en la iglesia de St Mark el pasado sabado durante la semana de la moda de NYC. La presentacion consistio en 5 escenarios donde las bandas amigas de Chloe, que incluyeron a Kim Gordon de Sonic Youth, tocaron una seleccion de canciones muy londinenses. Las modelos posaron en el escenario como si fueran parte de manifestaciones, con temas que hacian referencia al feminismo y a la política. Una de las sorpresas fue que la propia Chloe (arriba) hizo de modelo. Y soy testigo de que Chloe mantuvo su papel durante toda la presentacion, incluso cuando sus amigos se paraban en frente de ella. Las bebidas fueron cortesia de Freixenet, las mini botellitas son perfectas porque puedes beber directamente de la botella sin necesidad de copa, y fue muy divertido porque dibujamos en las botellas negras con rotulador dorado. Podeis ver la coleccion, los invitados, y el bar en las fotos de abajo. Fotos por Paul Bruinooge de Patrick McMullan.

BACKSTAGE AT CHLOE SEVIGNY FOR OPENING CEREMONY

Chloe, after styling and make up, ready for the performance.
Chloe, tras estilismo y maquillaje, lista para su actuación.


When I arrived to the St Marks Church in the Bowery, Chloe Sevigny had already been there working for hours. Her look had nothing to do with the look you see in the first picture above. Above, we see Chloe in the role she was putting for the presentation. In that photo she is dressed in her new collection, with a blank gaze and a tough look, a revolutionary soul, as was required for the act (see below her stylist and reputed make up artist Mark Carrasquillo working on the look, above I pose with Mark by the Freixenet bar).

Cuando llegue a la iglesia de St Mark, Chloe Sevigny ya llevaba varias horas trabajando. Su apariencia no era para nada lo que se ve en la primera foto, donde vemos a Chloe metida en su papel para la presentación: vestida en su nueva colección, con la mirada perdida y un semblante duro, como una revolucionaria, como exigia el guión (abajo podemos verla con su estilista y el famoso maquillador Mark Carrasquillo, en la foto de arriba Mark y yo posamos junto al bar de Freixenet).



But that transformation happened in minutes, if not in seconds. Chloe was the last model to be dressed and the last one to get ready, as she was coordinating the whole thing herself. For those who would have expected a Hollywood star, or a Golden Globe winner, just making an appearance, that would be a surprise. She was running around, with an adorable face (not like the first one when she was acting), and a belt full of sewing tools. She worked on her collection until the very last minute, when the girls were in positions, she would go and do last retouches (as we can see in the picture below).

Pero esa transformación la hizo en minutos, si no en segundos. Chloe fue la ultima modelo en vestirse y la ultima en prepararse, puesto que era ella quien coordinaba todo. Para los que esperaran a una estrella de Hollywood, o una ganadora de Golden Globe, simplemente hacer acto de presencia, esto debe ser una sorpresa. Chloe iba de un lado para otro, con su cara de buena chica (a diferencia de la primera foto donde estaba actuando), y con el cinturon de costurera con todos los utensilios. Trabajo en la coleccion hasta el ultimo momento, cuando las modelos ya estaban en sus posiciones, Chloe hizo los retoques finales (como se puede apreciar en la foto de abajo).


Backstage prior to a fashion show is no kidding, it is a really serious, stressful moment. If you haven't lived it first person, go ahead and watch an episode of Kelly Cutrone's reality show! It is the culmination of so many things, all have to come together at the same time, and only perfection is allowed. So this one was no different, it was pretty tense, and there would be moments when some of us would just stay standing still, really quiet, observing, and even moments when the whole backstage would be in extreme silence. The excellence of the people that worked that event, such as Black Frame (one of the best PR agencies I worked with), or the legendary events producer Heidi Kelso, made everything to work just perfect. Doors opened right on time (another reference to London at the show maybe!), and everything came together just beautiful! Good thing Freixenet took care of our celebration!

Los bastidores antes de un desfile no son cosa de niños, es un momento muy serio y estrenaste. Si no has vivido uno en primera persona, tienes que verlo en un episodio del "reality" the Kelly Cutrone! Es la culminacion de muchísimas cosas, todas ellas han de funcionar al mismo tiempo, y solo se permite  perfeccion. Este no fue un caso diferente, de hecho fue bastante tenso, incluso hubo momentos en los que estabamos parados en silencio, observando. La excelencia de la gente que trabajo en el evento, como el equipo de Black Frame  (una de las mejores agencias de relaciones publicas con las que jamas he trabajado), o la legendaria productora de eventos Heidi Kelso, hicieron que todo funcionara a la perfección. Las puertas abrieron con puntualidad británica (otra referencia a Londres quizás!), y todo salio genial! Suerte que teniamos Freixenet para poder brindar!

Last night we went to the Ace Gallery in Beverly Hills to support the latest collaboration between model to watch by Victoria's Secret, Ashley Bedell, and reputed photographer Samuel Bayer. The artist had decorated the biggest space of the gallery with huge pieces of naked women: Voyeurism? Or female power? Provocative for sure. For the occasion I chose this fabulous Herve Leger, in a Burgundy wine red, by Max Azria. Photos with Morgan Halsey and Ashley Bedell by Zimbio and Getty Images, see more  photos of the event here and here.

Today I am writing from the Gloria Ferrer winery in Sonoma where I arrived yesterday for the much anticipated Be Bubbly Bash. You might remember the Be Bubbly Bash that I co-hosted in Beverly Hills few months ago, that one was a lot of fun! Well, this one is going to be in the caves of the winery, so it looks pretty incredible too! Since I talk about this fabulous winery in the blog all the time and I know some of you are based in Northern California, I thought it would be cool to offer 2 VIP tickets for the first person to email hello@followingdiana.com, starting now! You must be +21. Good luck!

A WINTER DAY IN THE VINEYARD

A Winter day in the vineyard is very different than A Summer Day In The Vineyard. The adventures take place in the subterranean caves, where the wine waits patient in the barrels to being bottled for the riddling process. This process happens after the first fermentation (at this point the juice would be just still wine), then they put the bottles inclined upside down in racks and they keep them turning. They do this so the yeast (which will create the second fermentation aka Sparkling Wine Methode Champenoise) comes down to the neck of the bottle, then they can get rid of it and have a clear and clean liquid. If they wouldn't do this, the wine would be "dirty" with little sediments running around. If you drink wine with sediments I don't think it's a problem (this is just my opinion), it can even be kind of cool and I have friends that have little vineyards and their home made wine has sediments (apart from being super highly alcoholic!) and we drink it anyway. But I don't know of any commercial sparkling that (purposely) sell wine with sediments so it doesn't seem to be cool within the business or within the industry.

Un dia de invierno en la bodega es muy distinto a un dia de verano en la bodega. Las aventuras se trasladan a las cavas subterraneas, donde el vino espera pacientemente en barriles para ser embotellado y pasar a la operacion de "removido". Este proceso sucede tras la primera fermentacion (en este punto el jugo es vino tranquilo), entonces las botellas se colocan en pupitres inclinados y las giran para que vaya cayendo la levadura (este proceso es el que crea el vino espumoso y en este caso Metodo Champenoise). La levadura cae hasta el cuello de la botella, donde se concentrara para que luego la quiten facilmente y de esta forma obtener liquido limpio y claro. Si no hicieran este proceso el vino estaria "sucio" con pequenos sedimentos. No pasa nada por beber vino con sedimentos (en mi opinion), de hecho puede ser bastante guay: tengo amigos que tienen pequeñas viñas y producen algo de vino casero que siempre tiene sedimentos (ademas de ser altisimo en alcohol!) y nos lo bebemos tranquilamente. Pero no conozco ningún vino espumoso que se venda con sedimentos (expresamente) asi que no creo que sea algo aceptado en el mundo del vino.


Above we can see Allen from Gloria Ferrer lighting the candles of the caves, we rarely do events down in the caves and lighting must be super dim because light can disturb the wine process. 

En la foto de arriba vemos a Allen de Gloria Ferrer encendiendo las velas de las cavas, donde casi nunca hacemos eventos ya que, entre otras cosas, la luz ha de estar muy baja para no perturbar el proceso del vino. 


This is how Gloria Ferrer vineyards look in Winter, very different from the Summer right? The plants that will bring us grapes late in the Summer are now leafless and ready for Spring.

Asi es como esta ahora Gloria Ferrer durante el invierno, muy diferente de verano verdad? Las cepas que traeran la uva a finales de verano aun no tienen hojas, hasta la primavera.


For the lovers of a good magnum bottle, and because it is so cool to own a giant bottle of champagne, what do you think of this photo? fyi the smallest bottle you see is a regular size 750cl bottle!

Para los que os gustan las botellas magnum, y porque es tan chulo tener una botella gigante de champagne, que os parece esta foto? solo os digo que la botella mas pequena es el tamano de una normal!


I wanted to share this photo that I found in the winery, Gloria Ferrer and her husband with little Gloria Ferrer.

Queria compartir esta foto que he encontrado en la bodega, Gloria Ferrer con su marido y la pequena Gloria Ferrer.


Visit Sonoma and the Gloria Ferrer winery and they will give you a tour with lots of more info about wines, grapes, champagnes, etc!

Last saturday Gloria Ferrer honored the charity City of Hope for their consistent and successful work to help fight major health diseases. The event took place at the subterranean caves of the winery, and I was in charge of the music for the night but luckily I could also meet some of you, enjoy a complimentary make up retouch, or pose in the photobooth with Logan. And all this for a good cause!
