Crowded House
"I've got a lot of adrenaline, but I feel like I just performed, so to do it again is hard," said
Marc Jacobs, who was mobbed by friends and admirers at Eugene on Monday. "I could really just use some sleep." Bed wasn't on the agenda for
Kim Gordon,
Russell Simmons,
Terry Richardson, or
Michelle Rodriguez. The actress accessorized her fluffy white frock with a large black tracking device; she may be under house arrest, but she wasn't going to miss this dance party. Taking in the scene, drag queen extraordinaire
Brenda A-Go-Go said, "It's a performance, like going to the theater."
English Rose
A few blocks away, Marchesa's
Keren Craig and
Georgina Chapman held court at the Gramercy Park Hotel's Rose Bar. With
Sophie Dahl, Fabiola Beracasa,
Helena Christensen, and
Jacquetta Wheeler ensconced at the low tables, the British-born Chapman confided, "I hate parties. I never had them as a kid, because I always thought nobody would come. So now I figure if one person does, it's a success." Harvey Weinstein, who was chatting with hotelier Jason Pomerantz, confirmed that not only was the party a hit, but the collection was, too. "Well, of course I'm biased," he said. "But you know when something's bad, and this was very good."
Horse Play
The previous evening,
Katy Rodriguez showed her Fall collection in the hotel's penthouse suite to
Nora Zehetner,
Rachel Zoe,
Meredith Melling Burke, and
Mark Seliger, among others. The affair was hosted by scribe
Jessica Joffe, who was decked out in the designer's burgundy moiré dress, but Rodriguez herself wore a vintage Hermès equestrian suit from her boutique, Resurrection. "I saw it and I thought, 'Why not?' " she reasoned.
