NYC Men's Fashion Week—book your time slot now
Fern Mallis likes to describe fashion week production like renting a hotel room: designer books the space, which includes basic support. IMG + ENK have this space for rent (see above), as they grow a NYC Men's Fashion Week, separate from the existing, bi-annual event. DNR has a story about it coming out on Monday.

GenArt 10th Styles Competition
Last night GenArt held its 10th International Styles Runway event with $35,000 in cash going to 6 winners. Women's rtw was boring, avant garde wasn't even close to my definition of avant garde but pretty good, evening was good, men's was a strong group, and the video presentations were, again, a bore. The highlight was emcee Robert Verdi making jokes about Nicole Kidman and Botox, the event's sponsor.
I say kill the rtw category, move the avg designers to a new category, and find some real, couture-esque designers for the avg category. And who wants to watch videos at this type of thing? No one. We want to see new and emerging designers on the runway. GenArt is great and all but their events are boring to sit through. After ten years, this is the best they can do from more than 800 submissions? I honestly hate to rip on GenArt but the runway show could've lasted 8 minutes, instead we sit there for an hour or so. Maybe each designer could show more than 2 looks? Maybe the designers could sit near the front so when they come up to accept an award, it's not a long wait? Maybe the whole event should just switch to a webcast?
winners: Yujin Song (rtw), Timothy Franklin (men's), Ninaki (accessories), Marie Potesta (avg), Louisa Parris (evening), Jobile (special award).

Bruno
So this certainly isn't breaking news, but I was searching around for Bruno clips and came across info on a movie called Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt. www.thebrunomovie.com has some hidden camera footage of Bruno in an airport, and imdb lists the movie for Oct, 08 release.

NYC Photo Festival May 14–18
The New York Photo Festival went down in DUMBO, Brooklyn and gives awards in 17 different categories ranging from student work to advertising images. The winners each take home a Cannon Powershot G9, although I wonder why they choose to give away a compact model when a SLR or pro-grade digital back would be so much more desirable and useful.
