Bergdorf Goodman unveiled their Tony Duquette-inspired Christmas windows, each of which depicted one of the four elements, to a full-capacity crowd last night. Inside the store, revelers queued to get their orange-cased Tony Duquette tomes signed by co-authors Wendy Goodman and Hutton Wilkinson. The gathering included Richard Meier, Isabel and Ruben Toledo, and Naeem Khan—three of whose intricately worked dresses are featured in the vitrines. Nicholas Vreeland, clad in his brilliant red Buddhist monk’s robes, stood out, as did Dodie Rosenkranz, who was escorted to the event by her grandson Ned Topham. “When I got to Venice, I didn’t have a decorator,” said Rosenkranz, whose Italian digs—the Palazzo Brandolini on the Grand Canal—were decorated by Duquette and Wilkinson. “I had this wonderful palazzo absolutely empty. I saw Tony’s house and I knew that Tony would be the person for me. I love the fantasy. I never gave him one word. I said: ‘Here’s the palazzo: Do it!’ “
