We have to admit we’ve always been a little obsessed with Christopher Walken – but artist John W. Codling takes it to whole new level with his exhibit “Sundays with Chris,” on display at the DVF gallery through this weekend. He began the series earlier this year, when the Market tanked and he sought solace in painting, and suddenly realized that all he was painting was Christopher Walken. Profit from the sale of the artwork will go to Team Continuum, a non-profit organization assisting cancer patients and their families.

Sundays with Chris
DVF Gallery
444 West 14th Street
thru November 1, 2009

Eat and Drink… At Corsino, the new spot from Jason Denton of inoteca fame. Like restaurants before it, the focus is on wine, cheese, small plates, not to mention, brisket meatballs and homemade pastas. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Watch… Those runners through the finish line run the NYC marathon this Sunday! The race attracts many world-class athletes not just for the grand prize of $600,000 but for the thrill of crossing the finish line. After forty years the marathon continues to grow in size and is the leader among marathons around the globe. Best of Luck to the runners, including DVF’er Stephanie White who is running to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society!

See… The Greenwich Village Parade, one of the best and most rowdy ways to see all of the innovative and fun Halloween costumes. Sprawl out October 31^st starting at 7pm from Spring Street to 21^st street on 6^th Avenue and get a glimpse of all this year’s creativity.

Explore… Kandinsky at the Guggenheim. Do not miss out on seeing one of the most talented artist of all time before his work heads back to Paris or else.

In the Tressette dress, Spring 2010

Who: Sandra Bullock

Why: This leading lady doesn’t just have speed, she has staying power and she’s one of the few comic chicettes out there who can make us laugh like no other. And she knows how to dress it up (like she did at the Annual Hollywood Awards Gala with her All About Steve co-star Bradley Cooper), and down when she is at a basketball game with her motercycling hubby Jesse James.

What: Tressette dress (Spring 2010, Neiman Marcus exclusive) at the Annual Hollywood Awards Gala

Handbag of the Day… The Stephanie still going strong! (Luxist)

Feeling Lucky?… Lucky Shops a week away (USA Today)

Hail DVF!

All hail Diane… literally! In case you were in the neighborhood yesterday, we were outside the NY shop filming for an eyewear project we were working on and one part involved Diane in a DVF taxi cab! She is a driving force in fashion after all! Stay tuned for more behind the scenes photos and also the launch of our new Eyewear, which will be arriving in stores and online in November.
