Last night was amazing night in NYC as I marched uptown to Bergdorf Goodman to socialize with Linda Fargo, Leigh Lezark, Daphne Guinness and more.

The event was to celebrate Steven Klein: 30 Seasons With Akris. The label's designer, Albert Kriemler, was also in attendance. Besides the amazing and devastatingly handsome catering and bar staff, the fourth floor was filled with delightful Akris-clad mannequins and images of Akris clothing throughout the years.

T Magazine's Stefano Tonchi, who is in the running for the position of editor-and-chief of W Magazine, was also in attendance, and  though I didn't get a chance to speak with him about the issue, his gleaming smile said so much more.

Linda Fargo, dressed in a magnificent Akris dress with a fur collar stole to complement, was quite welcoming. Her graceful presence helped make the event a memorable and intimate occasion for guests to get acquainted with the collection. 

In tow of Dapne Guinness came a large display of the  campaign ad she completed with the label (recall when she went jet black). In addition, pieces from the Spring 2010 bevy were merchandised to interwine with the guests on their way to snag some hors d'oeuvres.

We recently spoke about Henry Holland's Levi's collection and its guest appearance from Chanel ambassador Leigh Lezark. Despite our envy of her relationship with Chanel, we enjoyed watching her at the deejay stand with The Misshapes.

In all, the event was a special one - as floods of memories came rushing back from our favorite Akris moments.

After the event, I jetted down to catch the ending of a Vainstyle Magazine launch at the Earnest Sewn boutique in the Meatpacking District. Though I didn't catch much due to my late arrival, I did snag a slice of the phenomenal cake and one of the gift bags they were handing out to guests. I quickly chatted with a magazine staff member who promised that the magazine would put a new spin on fashion and music. Sadly, I can't give too much away - the magazines were very scarce in quantity. I will say, however, that the upcoming issue promises an exciting review on music god David Guetta. Look out for more updates, regarding Vainstyle on their website.
