We interviewed Cory Kennedy - ex-Cobrasnake muse, indie fashion star, and former Nylon magazine cover girl - sitting front row with socialite Peaches Geldof and Nylon's Faran Krentcil at Jeremy Scott's Fall 2010 runway show for New York Fashion Week. As a friend of Scott's, Kennedy got a sneak peek at his Fall collection and talks about her favorite pieces.
>> Irina Lazareanu has been working with Sean Lennon on her album, Some Place Along the Way, since 2006, but it looks like 2008 is the year we'll finally get to have a listen to the final product.
Tuesday night, the musician-cum-model said the album, which is produced by Patti Smith and features some songs by Irina's close friend/maybe boyfriend Pete Doherty, is due out in September: "All we need to do is get Sean [Lennon] and Patti in the same town and make sure Pete's not in prison and we can get rolling."
As for potential stagewear, Balenciaga is her staple, "but I find brands like Ann Demeulemeester and Martin Margiela also look fabulous on stage."
For a preview of the folkiness to come, here's Irina's duet with Sean, "Strange Places," which debuted in July 2006:

According to Daily Mail, Babyshambles rocker, incarceree, and Kate Moss's former flame, Pete Doherty debuted an exhibition of his bloody paintings at the Chappe Gallery in the Montmartre district Paris last week, despite the fact that he's currently serving time behind bars.
The gruesome exhibit features 30 paintings by l'artiste, including "one blood and pencil image of the supermodel, entitled 'Miss Moss reclines', shows her topless lying on a sofa," one self-portrait scribbled with "with the baffling initials S.K., V.I.C., a Star of David and a swastika," and in another, the known drug offender "signed his name in blood from one of his
needles," giving a whole new meaning to the term "needlework." While I do think people should have the right to decide what constitutes art, and it's always interesting to see boundaries tested, I must admit that I find this quite macabre. It'll be interesting to hear how the turnout goes; the exhibit runs until May 11. Do you think he is a genuine artist or do you think he should stick with singing? Once he rides out his jail sentence, that is . . .
This If You Had To is a bit of a departure from the others, because these two are actually kinda hot underneath all their crunky skank. The English have a knack for producing this "addicted pirate who is allergic to bathing" type. In one corner, I present you with Russell Brand. Apparently, he is the best thing about Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Did I mention he is a recovering heroin and sex addict? And in the other corner, Pete Doherty. (What is this dude not addicted to?) Who would you have dirty pirate sex with, if you had to. . .
