Club Monaco Gets Garance Dore To Shoot Their Fall Looks

We had been hearing about Club Monaco's fall '10 lookbook for the past month, but it was kept so under wraps that we couldn't even sneak a peek. So it was with considerable excitement that we hoofed it over to their lookbook cast party last night to see the snaps, captured by Garance Doré. The street-style images spotlight seven young influencers, like Byrdie Bell, Dossier's Alec Friedman, and Teen Vogue's Laurel Pantin, to put their own unique spin on looks from the fall collection. We got down with the seven style stars and friends like Andrew Mukamal, Becka Diamond, and Bettina Prentice, at B.E.S., (Boutique Eat Shop) opened by man-about-town (in heels), Patrick Duffy. We can't recommend the eating club enough: It's part restaurant and part gallery, with some carefully curated art that's all for sale (look out for our feature on the hot-spot in the following weeks). We left a little early to peep the shots, watch the behind the scenes video, and read the Q&As with the cast members—those watermelon martinis they served made everything look amazing, an opinion that didn't even go away when our buzz left.
