Fashion Week: Tim Hamilton/Vionnet

Thursday and Friday nights were sizzling Uptown with Tim Hamilton’s fall presentation at Bergdorf's and Sophia Kokosalaki's presentation of Vionnet at Barneys.
I met Tim through www.Gayzofourlives.com founder, Sam Spector. He is a total sweetheart and a genius in the tailoring department. Handsome clothes for handsome men period. http://timhamilton.ws/
I am so proud of his rapid rise to fame with his own collection. My neighbor, Lucy Lang was my date and we hung out with Martin Mark's and Tim's w-i-l-d sister. The clothes we beautiful, the models were yummy and that white wine really hit the spot! Martin almost dragged us to the Pierre for drinks but Lucy and I were good and packed ourselves into a cab to Harlem. We were so proud of ourselves for resisting temptation that we promptly popped a bottle of wine and drank and danced around my new home office, inaugurating the walls, floor and window ledges with wine rings.

Friday was a full day of shows, mostly disappointing. John Bartlett was fun but he has done better. I thought it a bit tame but I will never see anything like his lumberjack chic 3 seasons ago with wood chip catwalk with hunky, hairy men stomping up and down. Swoon!
Perry Ellis was ok. Loved the fuller pants. Duckie Brown- BRAVO! Those boys always give me goose bumps with their love of undies with pockets, neon gloves and oversized outerwear
Morphine Generation was quite fun but as usual; the womenswear was better than mens. Mens just looked like kit from Trash and Vaudeville.
I skipped Marc Bouwer for cocktails with Fay and a head start up to Barneys for Vionnet.

There we met up with Ivana, my editor from Clear and Ivan, my new favorite boy whose blog- www.facehunter.blogspot.com is inspiring beyond belief. Kids still dress with panache in Poland, incroyable in Iceland and bombastic in Belgium! He chronicles all the hipster fashion worldwide.

Lots of familiar faces were peeping out behind Vionnet bias cut gowns including Susan Joy with Vogue's Christian Langbein, Simon Doonan, Hamish Bowles, Anna Laub from WGSN (my new gorgeous gal about town from London) and Lee Carter. We all got way too giddy and imbibed way too much Veuve and once the party wrapped up we headed over to Viand where we ordered gallons of chocolate milkshakes, mounds of beef burgers and piles of French fries. Who says fashion people don’t eat? Balderdash!

Once we were done there I had to meet friend from Cologne at the Dream Hotel, then we moved it to the Algonquin for martini's until midnight and then OF COURSE I was coerced to take them to the Beatrice where we danced until God knows when, but what fun!

Oh my poor body, an entire week to go. I think I can, I think I can
