Seven New York toasted the arrival of Gareth Pugh Saturday night with a bash at the Tribeca Grand that brought out the MisShapes and model du jour Agyness Deyn. In between a photo shoot and back-to-back parties (Madonna’s show, Steven Klein’s birthday, drinking at the Annex, etc.), the enfant terrible designer was a bit exhausted—and apprehensive—before sharing the DJ platform with Seven’s Joseph Quartana. “I only have four CDs on me, one of which is the greatest hits of Mariah Carey,” Pugh said. “I’m a bit worried about the way people will react to it.” But he had no need to fear; Jeremy Scott didn’t leave the dance floor until 4 a.m. The celebrations continue tonight for Pugh, as he prepares to view his piece at the Met’s “Superheroes” fête. “I’m very excited! I just sent them a box with a long list of instructions and furniture polish,” he said. And when the party ends, work begins. “As soon as I come back from holiday in the Canary Islands, I’m going to hit the ground running for September. I feel like I have a lot to live up to with my last show,” he said, before giving us a hint of what’s to come: “It’s all loosely based on the Ophelia painting by Millet—the girl in the pond who is sort of drowning, but you don’t know if she’s dead…that’s an exclusive.”
