Party People

Can I tell you...about the Prada party. During New York fashion week, my schedule is packed with attending shows of friends and going to parties. I saw Peter Som, Tracy Reese, Tibi, Shipley Halmos and Monique Lhuillier which was more than enough to keep me out of the office.
The party I was lookng forward to most was the Prada party at their Soho flagship store. They were going to unveil a short animation film Trembled Blossoms by LA illustrator James Jean. The film is a collaborative effort by NYC design firm 2x4 and James. Prada covered the store with James' illustrations that feature lush landscapes and nymph-like figures. You can see his illustrations on some of the bags and in the ad campaigns as well. Fantasy mixed with fashion via Miucca Prada. Perfetto!
Everybody was there. Actors Chace Crawford, Dylan McDermott, Rose McGowan, Ginnifer Goodwin and Amy Smart were all dressed in Prada of course.

Fashion editors and stylists from Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, Paris and Milan added to the mix.
Not to be outdone New York editors came out en mass: Meredith Melling Burke, Sarah Cristobal, Anne Christensen and Anne Slowey.

Went with friends from Hong Kong who also knew people at Prada. The drinks flowed, the nibbles kept coming served by a beautifully casted wait staff (all actors/models) and the music was great with a DJ and a live performance by CocoRosie.

We stayed there until the crowd thinned and moved the party to Soho house for a nightcap. You know how when you're on a roll and having such a good time that you don't want it to end, ever. All of sudden the lights in the Club room went bright and the party was over in a New York minute. C'est la vie.
