Fashion’s Book Of Love

We were trying to avoid the Valentine/Valentina allusions; but—cross
our heart—Kohle Yohannan’s new glossy tome from Rizzoli on the Russian émigré designer (and lover of Greta Garbo) is a great gift for lovers of fashion—and not only on the 14th of February. The book accompanies a retrospective at the Museum of the City of New York, whose opening night bash is co-hosted by Hamish Bowles (sorry, we can’t confirm Adele as his date) tonight. Milla Jovovich, Mica Ertegün, Princess Firyal of Jordan, and a gaggle of designers including Yigal Azrouël, Stephen Burrows, Carolina Herrera, and Narciso Rodriguez are expected to turn out, and show the, er, love.
