Diners Club
Donna, Calvin, and More at ACRIA's Annual Holiday Dinner
Donna Karan has visions of Mali's Festival au Desert dancing in her head. "We're going to Parrot Cay with the family for Christmas and then, hopefully, I'll go to Mali for the music festival," the designer said last night at the 15th annual holiday dinner for the AIDS charity ACRIA. "It's something I've always wanted to do."
Bruce Weber had a more accessible treat in mind. "I love this John Dugdale piece and I always like to buy one thing for myself at Christmas," said the photographer, looking at a cyan blue image of a peach that was part of the evening's silent auction. Although Francisco Costa had already done most of his holiday shopping (he's gifting Elyssa Dimant's Minimalism and Fashion: Reduction in the Postmodern Era), he welcomed the retreat from a busy week of pre-fall appointments. "After we take care of everything and all of this work, this evening is perfect," the designer said.
Not everyone was feeling so relaxed—Prabal Gurung still had work on his mind. "It's two months before the show…I definitely want this one to be an evolution of what's happened these past two years," he said.
