Lepere

Guests hoping to catch a glimpse of Andy Warhol's "Double Marlon" at Christie's party at the Soho Grand were in for a disappointment. The iconic painting was meant to be the star attraction Wednesday night, but issues of insurance and logistics proved prohibitive. "A few flatscreens playing 'On the Waterfront' isn't really the same thing," said one miffed attendee. Not that people belabored the fact for long. With guests like Agyness Deyn, Jefferson Hack and Anouck Lepère, Thom Browne, Byrdie Bell, Derek Lam, Elise Øverland, and Natasha Vojnovic, there were things to look at other than just the walls. Making a quick stop at the party was Francesca Versace, Donatella's niece, who graduated from St. Martins Lane in 2006. Although she placed her graduate womenswear collection in a few stores, she's since turned to men's and is now part of the creative team revamping the Italian brand Verri. "To do clothes that I don't wear is a new challenge that I'm enjoying very much," she said. "But every time I come to New York, I want to stay longer." Leigh Lezark, meanwhile, was already missing the city as she mentally prepared for her drive on Thursday from New York to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby, where she will be deejaying. "Those things are always such a good idea at first, but then when the time comes…" reflected Lezark. "Oh, never mind, I'm sure it will be amazing. I just wish I wasn't the only driver." Unfortunately, her posse—nightlife impresaria Sophia Lamar and fellow MisShape Geordon Nicol—don't have their licenses.
