Shalom Harlow and Co. Toast Dana Lorenz's Jewel Box of a Store
Technically, New York fashion week doesn't kick off until tomorrow. But last night's party celebrating the opening of the Fenton/Fallon store nonetheless had the distinct air of a kickoff—more than one visitor to the shop's courtyard in Freeman Alley commented on the "back to school" feeling of the event. New clothes to show off, friends catching up on gossip, the weather unexpectedly crisp and autumnal—all that was missing was some fumbling with unfamiliar locker combinations and an errant freshman asking for directions to his Spanish class. Instead, there were pink-hued Belvedere cocktails, a store full of Dana Lorenz-designed bijoux, and pianist Jay Israelson playing the theme from Twin Peaks in the background. "I feel like all the cliques are coming together," said Lorenz. "It's very Breakfast Club." Only with a supermodel, i.e., co-host Shalom Harlow, instead of Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson.
