Where to Hang with Madonna, Jason Wu, and More New York Fashion Week Secrets: Where to Hang with Madonna, Jason Wu, and More by CNTRAVELER.COM February 11, 2014 New York is buzzing with celebrities and models any time of year, but the city is especially overrun with the beautiful people during Fashion Week. New York is buzzing with celebrities and models any time of year, but the city is especially overrun with the beautiful people during Fashion Week. Though you can spot famous faces everywhere, there are a select few spots you need to hit up if you really want to rub shoulders with the "it" crowd. We have the scoop: Best for Model­Spotting: Jimmy at The James Hotel Jimmy, the trendy bar located on the rooftop of the James Hotel in New York's Soho neighborhood, is a hub for models and all those in the fashion world, according to Jimmy part­owner David Rabin. Models Alejanda Cata, Rachelle Goulding, and Eleni Tasavousis (pictured above), among other fashion heavyweights, were snapped at the Jimmy in between runway shows. It's no surprise—the intimate downtown spot offers a chic 70s­inspired atmosphere, strong cocktails, and privacy from the Midtown frenzy. Rumor has it that current "it" model Cara Delevingne also frequents the establishment. Best to Rub Shoulders With Designers: Antica Pesa Though designers like Prabal Gurung andPr iJvasonacy/ CWoouk areie P knoolicywn & Utos efreqr Aguenreetm theen tJimmy, rumor has it that many prefer the more laidOur P barivaccky, Ploowlicy k aeynd BrooklynUser Agreem vibe—sent havepecifically changed.

"Designers from Valentino and Armani will forget their diets and order our irresistible cacio e pepe," added Panella. They're not the only ones— apparently, celebrity friends Madonna, Julianne Moore, Kerry Washington, and Rupert Murdoch all love the spot, too (though it's largely shunned by Williamsburg kids).

During NYFW, fashionable celebs like Anne Hathaway, Usher, Tyra Banks, Pink, and Neil Patrick Harris head to the stylish spot, DBK spokesperson Britney Ziegler reveals. The "VIP hotspot" also boasts an "unparalleled" outdoor garden where celebs enjoy spiked iced teas and lemonades. Best for Spotting Fashion Bloggers and Fashionistas: Bar Nana Not surprisingly, the movers and shakers of the fashion industry head to the Meatpacking District for a post­show nightcap—specifically the newly opened Bar Nana. "Bar Nana is the place to be," reveals fashion blogger Stephanie Unter, a.k.a New York Fashion Hunter, who says Nana is the fashion crowd's hottest late­night spot.

Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

    Now here’s a real scandal—superstar Kerry Washington secured new digs for her production company, Simpson Street, but had squat to put in them. So she cast her friend and our very own Danny Seo in the lead designer role, directing him to create high-style, high-function spaces with an eco-twist. Here’s how the drama unfolded. Our favorite leading lady, Kerry Washington, NATURALLY, DANNY SEO · FALL 2017 PAGE 63 takes a brief hiatus to enjoy her chic new “Supernova” swivel chair, made in America by Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. STORY BY CHRISTINE RICHMOND π PHOTOGRAPHS BY JONAS JUNGBLUT π STYLING BY MICHAEL ERNO 62_68 Feature Kerry Washington SHIP2.indd 62 8/3/17 5:42 PM 62_68 Feature Kerry Washington SHIP2.indd 63 8/3/17 5:42 PM THIS PAST MAY, Danny got an email from his longtime friend—and Hollywood A-lister—Kerry Washing- ton. She had a favor to ask: Her grow- ing production company, Simpson Street, had moved into the famed Sun- set Gower Studios building (the same spot where she films the ABC drama “Scandal”). Kerry loved the location, but the offices themselves were pretty drab—not to mention mostly empty. “We had all these rooms, but nothing to put in them!” Kerry recalls. So she asked Danny if he could help spruce up the space. 1 This isn’t the first time Danny and Kerry have done a makeover together. Nearly a decade ago—before Danny 2 3 had his own magazine and TV show and before Kerry was a household name—he helped revamp her tiny apartment.

  • Annalise Keating's Portrayal As a Black Attorney Is the Real Scandal
    UCLA National Black Law Journal Title Annalise Keating's Portrayal as a Black Attorney is the Real Scandal: Examining How the Use of Stereotypical Depictions of Black Women can Lead to the Formation of Implicit Biases Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6wd3d4gk Journal National Black Law Journal, 27(1) ISSN 0896-0194 Author Toms-Anthony, Shamar Publication Date 2018 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California ANNALISE KEATING’S PORTRAYAL AS A BLACK ATTORNEY IS THE REAL SCANDAL: Examining How the Use of Stereotypical Depictions of Black Women Can Lead to the Formation of Implicit Biases Shamar Toms-Anthony* Abstract Law firms are struggling to increase the representation and retention of Black women, and Black women have reported feeling excluded, invisible, and a lack of support within law firms. In this Comment, I posit that ABC’s hit show “How to Get Away with Murder” over relies on traditional negative stereotypes about Black women. Annalise Keating, the show’s lead character, conforms to the stereotypes of the Jezebel, the Mammy, and the Angry Black Woman. Fur- ther, Keating’s representation as a Black female attorney is uniquely significant because historically Black women have done very little lawyering on the television screen. Thus, Keating’s representation as a Black female attorney on a show that has garnered upwards of twenty million viewers in a single episode is extremely influential, as it can have the effect of shaping audiences’ perceptions about Black women in the legal profession. As a result, I argue that the show’s negative depic- tion of Keating as a Black female attorney can lead to the formation of implicit biases about Black female attorneys, and may contribute to why Black women are having a difficult time excelling in law firms, which are 92.75 percent White.

History in the Making The Women on the Frontlines of the Revolution By Raquel Holguin and Lark Winner The 2016 presidential election brought to the surface how deeply divided the United States is politically and socially. Many issues that seemed mostly settled, such as the right to abortions, gender equality, protected civil rights for the LGBTQ community, and environmental protections, have resurfaced to become front-page, hot button issues that are in danger of being overturned. For many armchair liberals, the Obama years seemed to demarcate an era where an inclusive liberal agenda was taken for granted, and an era where a slow, continual path towards progressive ideals was inevitable – regardless of minor battles or small setbacks. For those on the fringes of radical, left-wing political activism, the previous eight years have been a source of contention, where the surface- level achievements of a moderately progressive administration have drowned out serious issues related to police brutality, rape culture, systemic racism, and a massive military industrial complex that needs continual conflict in order to maintain its profit margins and relevance.
