At their first-ever trunk show yesterday at Barneys, Rag & Bone designers David Neville and Marcus Wainwright took heart in the fact that they’d already bested the record of a certain beloved Mr. Elbaz. “Alber was at the Parsons dinner the other night,” reported Wainwright, “and apparently, the first time he had a trunk show at Barneys for Lanvin, he didn’t sell a single piece. I’m not sure if that made us more nervous or less.” Not that he and Neville were having much trouble convincing shoppers to write preorders for Rag & Bone’s “Blade Runner”-inspired Fall 2008 collection. Leather items like the duo’s shrunken bomber were proving particularly popular. Also loving the leather: Neville’s one-year-old son, Dash, kitted out in a pint-size bomber made for him by Wainwright. “He looks pretty hard,” Wainwright noted appreciatively. “You should see him with my son—David made him a denim jacket, and when they hang out, they look like two babies you definitely wouldn’t want to mess with.”
