Pulling A Kramer
Alex Kramer was a staple in the society pages during the mid-aughts, swanning around charity galas in beautiful gowns. But these days you’re likelier to find Kramer scrutinizing fabrics in a makeshift home atelier, working on her new eponymous clothing line, which touches down exclusively on the sixth floor of Barneys today. Her debut Spring collection, ranging from $250 to $1,100, features refined basics like sleek knit sheaths with lambskin paneling and sporty cigarette trousers. “I hate to use the word ‘useful,’ but it’s stuff you want to wear every day,” Kramer, who previously worked as head of visuals for Luxuryfinder.com and designed a capsule collection for Carlos Miele before launching her own line, told Style.com at a showroom preview.
For Fall (which will be sold to other retailers in addition to Barneys), Kramer and co-designer Brian Stanziale (who hails from Tommy Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, and Coach) articulated the well-received leather-detailed T-shirts and expanded offerings with on-trend, croc-embossed cardigans as well as practical outerwear. Noteworthy here was a cashmere-blend coat with a detachable silver fox fur collar. “I didn’t really buy anything this year, so this second collection was really about the pieces I personally want and need,” said Kramer.
The 2012 CFDA Award Nominees and Honorees
The fashion set gathered at Diane von Furstenberg’s studio in the Meatpacking District this evening for the announcement of this year’s CFDA Award nominees and honorees. Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons is 2012′s International Award recipient. The moment DVF uttered her name, partygoers began wondering if the reclusive designer would attend the June 4 ceremony. But the biggest surprise of the night came in the Fashion Icon Award category, which Lady Gaga unforgettably took home last year. Johnny Depp, the first man to receive the prize, will follow in the pop star’s footsteps at Lincoln Center. In another first, Scott Schuman and Garance Doré (pictured, left) will accept the Media Award prize together. Tommy Hilfiger got the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award nod. Below, the full list of honorees and nominees. Check back tomorrow for our complete report of tonight’s event.

The Dimes Add Up
A host of beauty and fashion insiders, including Tommy Hilfiger and Iman, turned out last night for the 37th annual March of Dimes Beauty Ball, which raises funds for the March of Dimes, the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. On hand as well were the evening’s two honorees, Gina Sanders, CEO of Fairchild Fashion Media (which includes Style.com and Women’s Wear Daily), and Mindy Grossman, CEO of HSN, Inc. “There is one word that can describe my feelings right now, and that’s gratitude,” Sanders told the audience when she received the night’s Beautiful Apple Award. But as she reminded the crowd, this was an evening with a goal, and “our mission tonight is to turn…inspiration into action.” There to oblige was Phillips de Pury & Co. auctioneer CK Swett, who hosted a live auction, called Fund the Mission, to raise more money for the worthy cause.
Monique Péan’s Paris Diary
New York-based jewelry designer Monique Péan was selected as one of ten past CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists for round two of the Americans in Paris program. While in the City of Light, Pean shared a showroom space with the like of Albertus Swanepoel and Simon Spurr at Paris’ Galerie Joyce and made time to stop by a few of the week’s biggest parties, too. She shares some of her snaps and memories, below.
“With my boys, two of the most talented American designers in Paris—Simon Spurr and Prabal Gurung. Simon’s suits make almost any man look handsome and Prabal’s prints are stunning.”
“With Hannah Bronfman (in Monique Péan fine jewelry) at a lounge in Place Vendome.”
“At Alber’s ten-year anniversary party! Love Lanvin and the cake made of books!”
