Interview With Model/Photographer Hanneli Mustaparta
Model and photographer Hanneli Mustaparta gives us the hot tips of how to live life as a jet setter, splitting her time between Norway and New York. I met Hanneli on Bleeker street outside of the Marc Jacobs store, where we were both taking street style shots (for my own Advanced Style site and her Lola.no site). Hanneli is one of the most gorgeous women I know, living the life of a successful model/photographer, and still managing to stay down to earth.
How long have you been New York and what part of town do you live in ?
I moved to New York in 2004 and lived here for a year. Then I went back to Norway for a week just to see my family before going to Milan for work. While home I met the guy that a month later would be my boyfriend , and the love of my life. Now we have been together for 3.5 years, so I moved back home and took a break from modeling and started studying. More »

At Paper Magazine’s best of NYC Nightlife awards last Sunday, the GofG’s table was directly next to Nicholas Rhodes table (of Nicky Digital). It was an honor to meet the popular photographer who took home the award later that night. Nicholas had just returned from, what looked to be, an incredibly adventurous trip to Iceland. With album names like “Casual Reykjavik @ Kitty Von-Sometime’s” and “Supper at Vid Tjornina” we were in for a treat.

With a panel of judges including Anna Wintour, CFDA’s president Diane von Furstenberg, Gap’s Patrick Robinson, and Barneys New York’s Julie Gilhart, Wang’s win surely goes above and beyond any other fashion nod.

Gourmet Evening At Shang With Susur Lee
[Photos by ERIKA SKOGG for PMc]
The Lower East Side gets another new restaurant! Canadian celebrity chef Susur Lee, best known for his Asian and European fusion food, gave us a taste last night of his stateside debut Shang. Located at the Thompson LES Hotel on Orchard St, the space is set to officially open in December (after a much anticipated waiting), and will feature what Lee refers to as “global Chinese” cuisine. Last night’s sneak peak was hosted by Gourmet magazine, and attended by New York restaurant heavyweights like Tom Colicchio, Daniel Boulod, and Bobby Flay. Everything looked delicious, and we can’t wait to see the finished product in a few weeks.
Go HERE to see NY Mag’s Grub Street list of all Lee’s hors d’oeuvres and HERE for Eater’s walk through.
