The banquet was a admirable activity and actual able-bodied abounding by the brand of Marc Jacobs, Sofia Coppola, Marina Abramovic—who absent one of her above architecture earrings during the performance— Daniel Romualdez, and Anh Duong to name a few.
Vanity Fair’s International Best-Dressed List cocktail affair took abode at the Academy Mansion on 63rd St. It was a attractive ambience and a few head-turning outfits, as on Daphne Guinness and her accompany David and Phillipe Blond__; actual Bold of Thrones. Daniel Romualdez gave a baby affectionate altogether affair for Anh Duong. The bulk of adorable caviar was not small, and the blanquette de veau absolutely annoyed us French girls! Two nights afore my move I went to Brooklyn to St. Ann’s Warehouse for the National Theatre comedy People, Places & Things. The play, about addiction and rehab, is excellent, as is the advance extra Denise Gough. The theater, on the promenade, has been beautifully adapted and we had banquet there. I sat abutting to Kevin McMonagle, aces in the allotment of the dad, and we had a emphasis by Damian Lewis to acquaint the company. Aces outing.
And to abutting October, Allison Sarofim’s Halloween affair was above alluring and insane. The affair was “Rococo in Candy Land,” and that led to above follies! I wore a glassy amazon Prada anemic blush dress with my best Elvis Presley white accoutrement Galliano jacket. I accept to say that for already I was annoyed with my costume, and for abiding it is never too backward to be silly! We all were and it was fun.
Voilà!
