The Children's Hour
Staying Up Past Bedtime at the VMan Bash
It was a sea of Agyness Deyn look-alikes (bleached-blond pixie cuts) and jolie laide men (vampirically pale skin, provocative eyewear) at the VMan/Ford Models party at that still-ticking old standby Indochine last night. But one particular guest stood out: 10-year-old Marika Nuss, the daughter of Hungarian artist Rita Ackermann. She was decked out in a graphic-print dress, an H&M sweater, and a pair of Converse sneakers. "I just really like this party," said the youngster, who added she appreciated how the magazine was styled and that one of her favorite places to shop is Sass & Bide. It was a little after 11:30 p.m., no doubt late for her. "My normal bedtime is 9:30, but tonight we're making an exception." It is fashion week, after all. "I bring her everywhere," said Ackermann, who danced around with Lola Schnabel. Also in the crowd were Cecilia Dean, Ellen von Unwerth, and Paz de la Huerta, who was just back from several months away shooting films by Jim Jarmusch and controversial director Gaspar Noé, in which she has her first lead. "I'm actually supposed to be in Haiti right now," de la Huerta said. "But there is a hurricane there, too."
