Stacking Jeffrey New York’s annual Fashion Cares charity fundraiser with good-looking gents was “not part of the plan,” host Jeffrey Kalinsky insisted last night—but it certainly didn’t hurt. Whatever gets people here, the Charleston-born retail guru shrugged. Bidders vied for luxury trips and silent auction items that ranged from leather totes to (no kidding) stem cell treatment. Among the evening’s beneficiaries was the Gay Men’s Health Crisis and the gay-rights nonprofit group Lambda Legal, which recently triumphed in Iowa, as well as a dapper crowd of 800 or so, which happily settled in for a fashion show of Jeffrey looks worn, in Kalinsky’s words, by “43 gorgeous men.” From his front-row perch, Marc Jacobs’ betrothed, Lorenzo Martone, noted with approval that there were fewer shirtless catwalkers this year. “I like it better this way. It’s a fashion show—let’s look at some fashion,” he said. Based on audience noise levels, he was very much in the minority on that one.
