Spring was in the air at Wednesday night's opening of Renaissance, an art exhibit at the Fifth Avenue Ferragamo boutique. But there was nary a Florentine fresco in sight. Instead, curator Blair Voltz Clarke had assembled contemporary works celebrating the season of rebirth. Meanwhile, guests celebrated a little sartorial liberation. Co-host Eva Amurri swanned in wearing a loose, full-length Ferragamo dress—a relaxing change of pace, she said, to the gown she'd been "poured into" at the Met. The actress happily declared it dress season: "It's my staple. I always feel cutest in a dress." She wasn't the only one pleased to bid adieu to late-winter blues and heavy coats. Lake Bell, who was weighing options for a May getaway to the Mediterranean, described the joy of spring as only a native New Yorker could. "People are finally happy," she said. "And it's not hot enough for people to be disgruntled and complain about the weather." Just give it a few weeks, Lake.
