NEW YORK, Tuesday, February 5, 2008 - Catching up on the day with Plum Sykes at Behnaz Sarafpour, I asked her what she liked about the Rodarte show earlier. "The knitted black and white suit," she said. "It's like a punk-rock version of ladies-who-lunch. You'd really have to be cool to wear it."

When the conversation turned to politics - as most of them have on this Super Tuesday - Sykes (who's British) replied confidently, "I'd love to see a woman president. If I could vote it'd be for Hillary."

Vogue's Sarah Brown, in a power blazer by Alexander Wang, came back to her front row seat at Behnaz with reports on the scene backstage. "She was really excited about the makeup," Brown said of the designer. "She told me, 'Go look at Lisa Cant, she's got bright yellow eyes. It sounds weird, but it's not!" To which Brown mused that maybe we're on the verge of a trend: fluorescents. Keep your eyes peeled. The biggest question of the day was: When in the midst of this fashion frenzy does one steal away to vote in the Presidential Primaries? Many at Behnaz had plans to do it after her show, en route to Narciso Rodriguez.Not Vogue's Virginia Smith. She cast her vote first thing, fighting the crowds at the NY Giant's ticker-tape parade on Fulton Street before heading to the Tents in time for Badgley Mischka at 10:00 a.m. Well done!
