As one-stop shops go, Labelux’s cocktail party last night in Milan was pretty good—but what else would you expect from a company that keeps Derek Lam, Brian Atwood, and jewelry designer Solange Azagury-Partridge on its rolls? All of the above—plus a few friends like Rachel Zoe, Olivier Zahm, and SAP campaign star Liberty Ross (both pictured with the designer)—were sipping drinks in a frescoed palazzo on the Via Durini. “It’s great to be here—there is always something to learn from the place that invented classical luxury,” Lam told us. “New York fashion week is great, but a special location like this palazzo is just something you’ll never be able to re-create in the Big Apple, no matter how much money you throw into it.” There was plenty of modern luxury in Solange’s bauble-lined room, where attendees took in the short film Azagury-Partridge made with Thandie Newton to present the collection. “We were so lucky she agreed to be paid in jewels,” said a company rep. No such recompense for partygoers, but we did come away with a sheet of trompe l’oeil jewel tattoos.
