Ending on a High Note

Isaac Mizrahi's show this afternoon, set on a theatrical stage meant to look like a studio lot (complete with rain machine and a tech guy with an umbrella) was the high note of the day.

Missed Shows

Last night I regrettably wasn't able to attend Proenza, because I was starting to feel like I caught the “fashion flu.” I did and I am thinking it's a 24 hour thing, because I am just now starting to feel better and rally to go to the Calvin Klein dinner, at least for a half hour or so.

I left you all before last night's events and I successfully went to all five. I went to the Armani event for this incredible, incredible artist---I kind of want everything---it was so spectacular.
