Where in the world is The Coveteur (and W Hotels & the CFDA {FASHION INCUBATOR}?) This time, it's Russia, with fine lingerie designer Ari Shapiro of Ari Dein for a little R&R, Russian style. After checking in at the W St. Petersburg, our photog Jake, Ari and the crew hit up all of the local hangs, from dinner at The Suitcase of the Pregnant Spy, to Deer in the Sweater for night caps. Once they shook off the jet lag, it was Anna Karenina at the Mariinsky Theater, followed by dinner at Monsarda; later hitting up the Hermitage, to the Church of Spilt Blood and Tikhvin cemetery, followed by lunch at Tao. Dein even spoke on the Fashionomica Panel during Aurora Fashion Week, dishing on her experiences in the industry and the CFDA {FASHION INCUBATOR}, while getting some face-time with Cov-alum Miroslava Duma at Tsum, before popping by the Red Square before their final dinner in Russia. As for the St. Petersburg-inspired collection to come? Stay tuned, kids.
