Traveling Exhibition
Celebrating The Model as Muse in L.A.
Angelenos Cameron Silver and Susan Casden brought a bit of the Costume Institute's The Model as Muse exhibition to the West Coast last night. The Philippe Starck-designed SLS Hotel was the site of a party in honor of the show's co-curators, Harold Koda and Kohle Yohannan. "I wanted to get together fashionable people who would be thrilled to meet the two coolest guys from New York," said Silver. Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, Monique Lhuillier, Marisa Tomei, Brigette Romanek, Richard Buckley, and Jenni Kayne more than fit the bill.
After a wildly creative tapas-style dinner (foie gras cotton candy lollipops, anyone?), guests lined up to get their The Model as Muse books signed by the authors and Peggy Moffitt, who, of course, was a model-muse to designer Rudi Gernreich. "We saw some of the most glamorous women last week in New York," remarked Koda. "But I have to say the women in this room really know how to dress." Katie Holmes designed the ruched number that she paired with a leather jacket from The Row. Casden, for her part, was in Chanel Haute Couture, but she wasn't thinking fashion. "Cameron," she said, "you have to check the Lakers score for me on your BlackBerry."
