Photographed by Marco Ovando2/11Brian Buenaventura has done my hair for over a decade. But it gets harder to schedule as his career grows. We have a running joke when he’s too busy, and I’ll retort something like, “Dior? Never heard of them! What about me?!”

Photographed by Marco Ovando4/11I usually have a no photos after 3:00 a.m. rule in the club. But friends and their phones make it difficult . . . and I guess rules are made to broken, especially in a nightclub!
Photographed by Marco Ovando5/11Always excited to go to Inez and Vinoodh’s holiday party! They’re not only such sweet people, but I love their work. That’s one of my favorite photos they took. I saw it at the Gaultier exhibit and I had to have it; it’s hanging in my bedroom.
Photographed by Marco Ovando6/11I was having trouble deciding between shoes. The Marc Jacobs won, but only because I knew I’d only have to wear them to one party. A few hours of dancing is all I can take in those. . . . I’m dedicated, but not a sadist!
Photographed by Marco Ovando7/11Parties are glamorous, but backstage is another story! Chaia, my irreplaceable right hand, gives me updates while I’m changing from one look to the next at Holy Mountain!
Photographed by Marco Ovando8/11My girlfriend had a Fifth Element–theme party and I had the talented Hana Quist make me a dress inspired by a Gaultier one. I was waiting for another reason to wear it, so Holy Mountain’s theme of ‘Intergalactic Shopping Mall’ was the perfect chance!”
Photographed by Marco Ovando9/11All the kids that come to my parties are so major. With the looks they turn out they seem straight off the runway . . . and in some cases, like Teddy, they are!
Photographed by Marco Ovando10/11Nightclubs are breeding grounds for creativity. Most of my favorite designers were once or still are often found looking for inspiration in the clubs. Raul Zepol of Luar is the next generation. Look out for him!
