Mischa Barton was there, although Marc Jacobs was not, which was all good in the scheme of things because then ultraviolent International Herald Tribune scribbler Suzy Menkes would have been obliged to take him out with her bare hands. As if to underscore the internationalism and the glamour of the online edition of the Times Style magazine, their site launched at Milan Fashion Week. Never underestimate the importance of the fabulosity of luxury and overseas magazine expansion during this ad recession. From Fashionweekdaily:

''What seemed like all of the city, and even a few surprise faces from Paris, turned out Monday night at the Triennale di Milano -- the same site where Giorgio Armani hosted a retrospective of his work in February--to join Michael Golden, Gerald Marzorati, Suzy Menkes, and Stefano Tonchi in celebrating The New York Times Style Magazine's new online counterpart, which will be edited by Horacio Silva, and the launch of The International Herald Tribune Style Magazine.''

T Magazine online goes live on December 2nd.
