"Punk meets Warhol" - Vogue Magazine

With eight competing designers live on stage, battling it out on stage for the title of New York Style-Battle Champion - this is going to be a crazy show.

Style Battling is a head to head competition with fashion created live on stage, in a matter of minutes, using anything from a pair of jeans to an umbrella to a balenciaga bag. Competitors cut, tear, burn, spray-paint, and otherwise destroy/rebuild clothing, live on models or on people pulled from the audience. 



House of Diehl have been all over the world, from supporting Sonic Youth in Europe, to performing to tens of thousands of people alongside Elton John and Versace at the Life Ball in Vienna, to shows at New York's fashion week... They are used to seeing thousands of jaws drop - and stay dropped!

The Ruff Kids and The Rapture's own Mattie & Druzzi will be DJing, and the hosts include legendary photographer Mick Rock, Fischerspooner's Casey Spooner, Bronques from Last Night's Party, Joseph Quartana of Seven New York and Aaron Hicklin, Editor in Chief of Out Magazine.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Andrea Meyer has written for such publications as Variety, Interview, Fitness, Glamour, the Daily News and the popular film Web site indieWIRE. Four years ago, after getting evicted from her apartment, Andrea wrote a story for the New York Post for which she pretended to be looking for a roommate as a ploy to meet guys. The article was the inspiration for ROOM FOR LOVE.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Room for Love is based on an article the author wrote for the New York Post, for which she pretended she was looking for a roommate as a ploy to meet men. In the fictional version, Jacquie Stuart-- struggling writer, East Village apartment owner, cinemaniac, dog lover, yogini, commitment-phobe in chronic pursuit of a commitment-phobe--takes a break from writing celebrity puff pieces to make some cash. She pitches a story to a glossy women's magazine proposing using the real-estate ads as a hot new dating scheme. When her editor insists that she do the research herself, Jacquie finds herself on a romantic rollercoaster ride that takes her to the dingier digs of the Upper Eastside, the brownstones of Brooklyn and the slums of the Lower Eastside. In a story that brings together two New York obsessions--romance and real estate--one woman is forced to question the shaky foundations of the bed she has made, and wonder if maybe searching for happiness in other people's homes is the wrong way to find Mr. Right.

"Room for Love offers a laugh-out-loud funny, sizzling yet soulful urban story of sex and square feet." -Susan Shapiro, author of Five Men Who Broke My Heart

"With writing that glitters like the NYC skyline itself, it's a smart urban romp that'll have everyone calling Meyer the downtown Candace Bushnell." -Erin Torneo, coauthor of The Bridal Wave: A Survival Guide to the Everyone-I-Know-Is-Getting-Married Years
