Six days in New York is enough for Felipe Veloso to return to Brazil full of really cool tips. The stylist was recently there on vacation before the beginning of our fashion weeks.
* For starters, he said he did some shopping at a Ralph Lauren store, located on Prince St. "It’s a different brand of Ralph, called RRL, and it has some amazing jeans with a vintage feel to them," he said. A block away, it also recommends a Japanese thrift store, full of cool findings.
* Felipe also singled out the documentary "Beautiful Darling," about Candy Darling, Andy Warhol’s transsexual muse, directed by James Rasin. "It’s a documentary with several points of views and Chloë Sevigny does Candy’s voice,” he said. Another good “cult” tip is the exhibit “Pablo Picasso: Musketeers," on display in Chelsea. "The curator is the granddaughter of Marie-Therese Walter, who was Picasso’s lover and muse," he said.
* Did you get hungry after all this? Then go to Freemans, at the Lower East Side, a more vintage and low profile restaurant. "It has had several phases, I remember I went there a few years ago and I saw Susan Sarandon, after a while, some yuppies frequented the place. Nowadays, it’s got a cool crowd," he said. Did you write everything down, glamurette? Felipe Veloso, Freemans restaurant, Pablo Picasso exhibit, RRL and poster of the documentary
