Social intelligence

watching the waiters

When talk veered away from the utterly wearable white shirts that CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists Phillip Lim, Band of Outsiders, Michael Bastian, Threeasfour, and Philip Crangi (above) made for the Gap at last night’s launch party (they’re in stores today), it was focused on the good-looking wait staff. The men that were doling out the rosé Champagne and canapés at the event, which was hosted by Vogue’s Sally Singer and Meredith Melling Burke, and Bonnie Morrison of Men’s Vogue, looked like they walked off the pages of that magazine. Several women—even married ones like Eleanor Ylvisaker and Ferebee Bishop Taube—took notice. “Whoa, that’s a handsome section over there,” Ylvisaker said of a gaggle of guys biding time behind an empty bar. But Claire Bernard found herself biting off more time with the waiters than she could chew. “It’s horrible,” she said. “I’ve found myself taking more and more food off the trays, food that I don’t even want, just for an excuse to look at them a little longer.” Men making for good pictures wasn’t a topic confined to the gregarious waiters, though. Phillip Lim received some friendly ribbing regarding his squinting, three-quarter pose in the Gap ads decorating the venue from a couple friends at the fête. “Yeah, that’s my Zoolander pose,” he jested back.
