Nantucket chic, Penélope Cruz speaks, Polaroid makes a comeback and why gallerinas are the new It girls.

Gallery girls

Are gallerinas the new best-dressed list/pop-culture heroines? Dasha Zhukova, the Russian heiress, designer, newly appointed editor of Pop magazine and babe among Euro babes, recently founded Garage Center for Contemporary Culture, Moscow’s largest exhibition venue. Art’s answer to The Devil Wears Prada is the soon-to-be released film Boogie Woogie. Based on British writer Danny Moynihan’s satire set in London’s art world, it stars Gillian Anderson, with a cameo by It girl and sometime model Josephine de la Baume. Sarah Jessica Parker’s widely anticipated Project Runway–like reality show, with artists instead of designers, is in the works. Given art’s veneer of intellectualism, it’ll be guilty pleasure with a little less guilt. —Karen Burshtein
