“The Lights” Premiere
EventI a! ended “The Lights” premiere party/event in October, held at the Empire Room
Bar. It was hosted by New York City PR in associated with NH Media. The Lights is a
new show revolving around four female entrepreneurs in New York City. Originally,
it was an idea for a “spin-off ” show of the Hills (it was thought of before the City
came out). However, The Lights will feature a revolving cast, so it won’t be the same
four entrepreneurs the next season.
Let me tell you a li! le bit about the four, talented stars of the show.
Emily Brickel, designer for Rock Hard Atelier. She made some amazing designs for
the runway show during the event. Her dresses are pieces a woman can wear all
day and have mul# -func# ons. They’re easy to accessorize up or down and can wear
in the day into the night.
Chris# na Esther, creator of beauty products to cheer women up who recently broke
up with their boyfriends. She is currently promo# ng a line called FudgeHim. This
busy bee is also the Execu# ve Producer and creator of the show.
Sarah Aus# n, a self-made Internet personality. She makes videos for Pop17 as well
as her own channel.
Marigo Mihalos, a publicist. She’s the president of MSM Public Rela# ons. She cu-
rrently represents Hollywoodlife.com, Bonnie Fuller, and BGR.
This online show will update with new episodes weekly on Thursdays.
You can watch the trailer & the episodes via the YouTube channel (h! p://www.
youtube.com/thelightstv) or on the NewYorkCityPR website (h! p://newyorkcitypr.
tv/NYCPRTV/NewYorkCityPR.TV.html).

Swing Dancing Under
the Stars
One of my favorite places in New York City is Pier 54. I visit all the # me to enjoy the color-
ful sunset right alongside the water. It is facing New Jersey and also nearby the High Line
Park, which is just as relaxing. However, this summer, Pier 54 was also one of the loca# ons
for the Hudson River Summer ac# vi# es.
An event I went to was Pier 54’s fi nal Moon Dance (there were mul# ple Moon Dances
earlier in the season). For a free admission, everyone was able to receive a free 30-minute
dancing lesson. In the past few Moon Dances, people were learning diff erent dancing
styles such as tango and salsa. In this par# cular one, the lesson was on swing dancing,
courtesy of Dance Manha! an.
A% er the lesson, the George Gee Swing Orchestra began to play live. During the night,
a group from Dance Manha! an gave the audience a special, brief performance. It even
started to pour for awhile, but that didn’t stop anyone from dancing. In fact, it made the
experience even more exci# ng.
Furthermore, individuals didn’t have to par# cipate on the dance fl oor to have a great
night. There were many chairs set up around the pier for those wall fl owers who felt more
comfortable observing.

PS 1 Warm Up Party
P.S. 1 is not only a branch of the Museum of Modern Art, but also one of my favorite mu-
seums located in Queens (Long Island City, specifi cally). Every summer they host Warm
Up par# es, solely on Saturdays from 2-9 PM. Admission is $15 to see live music, a BBQ pit,
open bars, a kiddie pool, and absorb the atmosphere. Friends and family can come to dan-
ce or relax on hammocks, or even bounce around on gigan# c beach balls. Furthermore, to
cool down in air condi# oning, you may also visit the galleries inside the museum, which is
included in the admission price.
Each week features diff erent DJs and bands, coming from all over the world. There are
diff erent sounds to hear such as indie to jazz to rhythm and blues.
The majority of the Warm Up celebra# on is held outdoors in P.S. 1’s courtyard. The de-
sign of the courtyard was designed by Solid Objec# ves - Idenburg Liu (SO - IL), which is an
architectural fi rm. In one of the pictures below, you can see it is an interes# ng display of
white poles slanted in mul# ple direc# ons holding up a white mesh material.
This year, it is s# ll running un# l September 4th so many more can s# ll a! end and expe-
rience one of these spectacular Warm Up par# es.

River Rocks Concert
Series
In addi# on to the Moon Dances at Pier 54, this par# cular pier was also the loca# on of
Hudson River’s River Rocks concert series, which were all free admission. In total, there
were three of them: On July 8, Phosphorescent + Dawes performed; On July 22, The Ant-
lers with Dinosaur Feathers took the stage; On Aug 12, Deerhunter performed with Real
Estate as their opening act.
I actually did not know about the concert series un# l I accidentally stumbled onto their
second concert, since I usually visit Pier 54 to lounge around. Although by that # me, the
concert was almost over. I did a! end their last one, and when I arrived there was a long
line to enter. It became crowded fairly quickly despite the light drizzle. I was lucky and was
able to squeeze near the front and I par# cularly enjoyed Real Estate’s indie/alterna# ve
sound as opposed to the main act’s. Deerhunter had more of an ambient punk rock sound
instead.
Towards the back, it was more of a relaxing scene. Groups of people were si6 ng on the
ground enjoying beers and ice cream while listening to the sounds from afar.

Fashion Week S/S 2011
Trend: Orange
Other than the Dolman sleeves, Mad-Men inspired looks, longer length skirts, and 70s
style trends this past Fashion Week, a big trend was also the color orange. Some may call
it pumpkin, rust, tangerine, or even bright mango. This par# cular range of shades has
been seen on the runways in the form of beau# ful dresses, blouses, skirts, accessories,
and makeup. Many designers used orange lips# ck for their models to strut the runway in.
Such designers who used orange in their collec# on were Marc Jacobs, Carlos Miele, Whit-
ney Port, Chris Benz, Tory Burch, Vena Cava, Proenza Schouler, and Mulberry.

Varela LaMar
During Costa Rica Fashion Week, Panama na# ve Nixia Varela LaMar showed off her beau-
# ful, fun collec# on labeled Varela LaMar. The look above is my favorite - I love the sheer-
ness of the material and the pa! ern on it. I would wear something like that. Though most
of her collec# on was in black, I did enjoy the colors she added to the pale! e. Below, is
my second favorite look. First, I love that shade of blue/aqua. It looks like a chic mermaid
with a twist. Second, it looks like such a fl irty, fun ou< it for a night out and I like the bright
clutch paired with this design.

The Notting Hill
Carnival 2010
UK
Adriana Escarini
Every year, since 1966, the streets of West London come alive, with the sounds and smells
of Europe’s biggest street fes# val.
Was born like a local fes# val by the West Indian community of the No6 ng Hill area, and
now become a full-blooded Caribbean carnival, a! rac# ng millions of visitors from all over
the globe.
Enjoy the pics from this celebra# on.

DUMBO Arts FestivalIn the beau# ful neighborhood of DUMBO (Down Under the Manha! an Bridge Overpass),
its Brooklyn community held its 14th annual DUMBO Arts Fes# val on the weekend of
September 24th – 26th, 2010. The weekend event showcased a range of talented ar# sts.
Visitors were able to walk around the waterfront ar# s# c community to view art installa-
# ons, exhibi# ons, galleries, workshops, and enjoy literary events, fi lm, and musical per-
formances. There was also entertainment for children with storytelling, arts and cra% s,
and music workshops.
Luckily, there was gorgeous weather during the weekend. Many people came from all
over to visit the fes# val.
Maly, originally from France, now lives in the neighborhood. “I’ve always taken my kids
here and they absolutely love it. I like to see my kids happy. I think it’s great for the whole
family. There’s something for everyone,” Maly said. “Every year there’s more and more
things to see and we try to see almost all of it.”
Those who weren’t from the neighborhood discovered the event through Time Out Ma-
gazine.
“I came here from New Zealand and I’m just touring the New York areas,” New Zealand
na# ve Marie said. “I like that it’s big and there’s lots to see. So far my favorite is the art
galleries. If I get bored with one thing, I can easily move on to the next thing. It’s sort of
like an interes# ng cardboard maze.”
Furthermore, this was the fi rst year that the DUMBO Arts Fes# val decided to give out
prizes. According to the event’s press release (h! p://dumboartsfes# val.com/wp-content/
uploads/2010/05/Prize-Announcement-9.27.2010.pdf), “The prizes inspired enormous
eff orts from the ar# sts,” said Jane Walentas, who conceived of the prizes as a way to en-
sure that high quality visual art remains a strong core of the DUMBO Arts Fes# val, which
this year expanded to include music, dance, literature, children’s programming, more per-
formance art, and digital forums for the fi rst # me. “There were hundreds of works to
look at and the judges did an extraordinary job in their # reless eff orts to choose the most
impressive and compelling works” (Rubenstein Associates, Inc. PR).
Sean Capone was the grand prize winner of a one year rent-free studio in addi# on to
$1,000 in cash for his video installa# on # tled, Floral Wall: Skull and Void.
Neil, a fi rst-year resident of Manha! an (originally from South Africa), says, “This was my
fi rst # me visi# ng the event and I think it’s a great idea. I can’t wait for next year!”

VidrieraHype!
- For those who do not know: what is Vidrierahype!?
It’s a fair email. A newsle! er in which independent designers show their produc# ons, and
through which, users (who register for free), can contact exhibitors directly.
- When and how was it created? With what objec" ves?
Vidrierahype! was born in November 2002 as the digital version of Feriahype!, the event
where designers displayed their products in the Buenaleche saga that we organize with
DSDG Producción&Diseño. The original objec# ve was to promote the event and fi ll a gap
that appeared in the interviews of cas# ngs to conform it. Those who were for the selec-
# on were very talented people whose level of knowledge and investment opportuni# es
in adver# sing their projects was very low (in 2002 were s# ll immersed in the crisis that
began the previous year). Just as is socializing the costs of producing the event, the publi-
ca# on began to consolidate as a possible access to a public interested in the sector.
- What types of products are displayed for sale?
We exhibit items that are backed by an idea. There are industrial design products, appa-
rel, tex# les, graphics, etc.
- What do designers have to do to present their products through VidrieraHype!? Only
residents in Argen" na can apply?
The way to par# cipate is to contact info@dsdg.com.ar solici# ng informa# on and sending
some pictures of their products, to make a fi rst selec# on.
Currently only residents par# cipate anywhere in Argen# na, but we are working to extend
the proposal to other countries.
- With the advancement of new technologies and new forms of communica" on, do you
think VidrieraHype! might replace the neighborhood fairs?
Although I am very much in favor of using technology, I think the neighborhood fairs or
independent design events are in essence “contact” with the person directly. Even Vi-
drierahype! proposed the mee# ng, and it is not marketed through it, both parts talk and
combine each other the best way more convenient for the purchase.
- How do you see Vidrierahype! in the future?
“The future arrived long ago”
FIM editor had the pleasure to chat with Diana Sorkin from DSDG | Produccion&Diseño about
their new proyect. Let’s fi nd out what it is about.

Who is this girl ?
This blonde lolita goes by the name of Sky Ferreira. Born on 1992 (yes I said 1992) in Los
Angeles, California, this bomshell is current working on her album from which we’ve hear
two songs: one and seventeen (it seems she is a big fan of numbers). I’ve heard both
songs and I must say “17” rocks it! The song is about a teenage girl who lives a wicked life
involving alcohol, late night scaped with older guys and a sex scene in the music video di-
rected by Cass Bird. Regarding the song “One”, is not worth listening, it does not introduce
something special to the music world.
Besides being an amazing singer, Sky Ferreira includes modeling to her curriculum. Sky
appeared on the cover of Jalouse Magazine and has been in many publica# ons from Da-
zed & Confused, Interview, Purple and Nylon Magazine. There’s a rumor across the net
that she will be the next Diesel face pairing up with Kris# n Prim (Prim magazine’s editor)
but this has not been confi rmed yet.
The fi lm industry is no stranger to her, she is part of the cast of “Pu! y Hill”, a movie by
Mathew Porterfi eld. Now the ques# on is: is there something Sky Ferreira cannot do? We
just have to wait and see this kid grow.
