Tuesday Night With The Other Coco (Not Chanel)
September 16, 2009 9:20 pm
It was no Irish dance down a runway in Paris, but it was indeed another Coco moment. Last night at Saks Fifth Avenue, clad in a vibrant plum frock (the label was Pink Tartan, from her native Canada), supermodel Coco Rocha held court on behalf of MCM at the launch of its new handbag collection, MCM New York. “It’s a really family-oriented company,” said Rocha, who hosted the event with Terron Schaefer of Saks. “It’s nice to see the care that goes into making the bags.” Designed by Joy Gryson, of Marc Jacobs and Calvin Klein pedigree, the collection is inspired by the city and intended for the bright young things that call it home. Surrounded by guests like Lydia Hearst, Jessica White (Sean Penn’s new flame), and Emma Snowdon-Jones, Sung-Joo Kim, chairperson and CEO of MCM, couldn’t help but get caught up in the evening’s energy: “You can see the recovery,” she said. “You can feel the vibrations.” Wishful thinking, maybe, but with all the fashion week events that were happening last night, she wasn’t the only one who was feeling it.

Please return to Project Runway! I prefer Bravo reruns because you and Nina add a major judging layer that’s half the show. Lifetime won’t allow me to register in order to respond to “where is Michael Kors?” so I’m sending this to you. Will you return to Project Runway? Sorry to send this to you but I want to know. Thank you.
