Nice Night for a White Wedding

Wednesday  07 May 2008,  New York

BellMoss

The invitation to last night's launch of ultraluxe lingerie line Agent Provocateur's 2008 bridal collection read, "What would happen if instead of saying "I Do" - you said "I Don't?"

Fabulously dressed founder and Creative Director Joe Corre (son of Vivienne Westwood) told me he created his scandalously sexy new collection (which runs the gamut from white baby doll negligees to Ferrari-red corsets) to creatively explore the question "What would happen if, on her wedding day, a bride decided to take back control, put the proverbial third finger up at the institutionalized ritual of ceremony, and do things her own way?"

Kate Moss (top right), subversive seductress that she is, stars as the bride-to-be in photographer Nick Knight's series of seriously racy photos, one of which pictures Moss surrounded by slumping popes (played by British art brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman), holding handfuls of wedding cake in her clenched fists.

Moss - who I saw Monday night in Stella McCartney at the Met and who seemed to be the all-around number-one style icon of everyone I talked to - joined designers Phillip Lim (bottom right) and Robert Tagliapietra, Genevieve Jones (bottom left with Leigh Lezark and Julia Restoin Roitfeld), Byrdie Bell (top left), Chessy Wilson, Lyle Maltz, Derek Blasberg and Vogue's Devon Schuster for cocktails on the massive roof deck of the penthouse of MILK studios while Brigitte Bardot's Noir et Blanc played in the background. Met Gala fashion ranking was the topic de la nuit (Gisele in Versace and Jennifer Connelly in Balenciaga were the heavy favorites).

Putty-colored gift bags packed with T-shirts emblazoned with Let Them Eat, Kate, were a nice perk, though I'm not quite sure where to wear mine.
