Like the MisShapes themselves, Tuesday night’s party in honor of the female member of that DJ trio was shrouded in mystery. There were reports that the evening was in honor of Leigh Lezark’s upcoming appearance in a powerful mall fashion brand’s fall campaign; I heard it was to celebrate a movie she had just starred in; and one report even speculated that the night was about her debut in a new rock band. Turns out the reason for the congregation of nearly every young twink with a trilby hat, suspenders, vintage T-shirt, and tight black jeans (or some variation thereof) was much simpler: It was Lezark’s birthday (though look for her in the fall Gap campaign). “I don’t know how it got so twisted,” said a Nini Ricci-clad Lezark from her perch next to her boyfriend, actor Max Minghella. “It’s my birthday. So I’m not even working tonight.” She wasn’t, but her partners in crime, Geordon Nicol and Greg K., were spinning tunes for a gaggle of her friends, including Jessica Stam, Byrdie Bell, Heidi Mount, Genevieve Jones, Charlotte Ronson, and Bonnie Morrison. Although held in the bourgeois world of the Rose Bar in the Gramercy Park Hotel, things were decidedly downtown and Lezark-appropriate—at one point Mick Rock found himself ashing a cigarette into an iPod deck. “But that’s what’s so great about Leigh; she can do her anything anywhere,” Stam said of the birthday girl.
