February
9-10 - During Monday and Tuesday’s fashion shows, the
big smackdown was between Marc Jacobs and
Narciso Rodriguez. Open All Night’s
impartial judges declare Narciso the winner, with Sarah
Jessica Parker, Jerry Seinfeld,
Joan Rivers, Diane Sawyer,
Kristin Davis, CBS honcho Les Moonves
and Claire Danes. Jacobs was only able to
scrape up Vincent Gallo, Maggie Gyllenhaal,
Gina Gershon and Daryl Hannah
for his front row. Meanwhile, Sarah Jessica Parker better
line up a new job quick. We asked what she wanted from Rodriguez'
show. "Oh, the last ten outfits", she replied.
While no designer
has so far attracted a Hollywood A-list, First Lady Laura
Bush gave the shows a shot, making a speech at the
tents on Monday in support of The Red Dress initiative, to
raise awareness of heart disease among women. If you want
to see Mrs. Bush’s used clothes, she’s donated
an Oscar de la Renta suit to the group, which
will be sending a collection of red dresses by American designers
to various cities. The First Lady played it right, and did
not attend any fashion shows in order to avoid showing favoritism.
Supposedly she is the only First Lady to have made an appearance
at Fashion Week.
Adding even more
class to the goings on, train wreck Anna Nicole Smith
arrived at zany Betsey Johnson’s show
in a TrimSpa bus! Hey, that plus Dunkin Donuts as one of Fashion
Week’s sponsors, and the whole thing is way high-end.
