One of the highlights was the A Night on the Town section
of the Silent Auction, chaired by couture floral designer Helena
Lehane. Quadrille Fabric and Wallpaper, Inc. donated materials
from which top interior designers Geoffrey Bradfield and Roric
Tobin, Albert Hadley and Harry Heissmann, Jamie Drake, Joel Allen,
Sheila Camera
Kotur, Phillip Gorrivan, Andrew Raquet, Alice Wainwright, Beth Martell,
Carol Davis, Charlotte Moss, Eric Cohler, Gael de Brousse, Joan McGivern,
Jonathan Rosen, Juan Montoya, Libby Cameron, Stewart
Manger, Michael Whaley, Miles Redd, Ron Winterrowd, Dennis Rolland,
Sara Bengur, Brockschmidt & Coleman and Helena Lehane,
herself, created one-on-a-kind evening bags — each an homage
to a legendary
woman. Katharine Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich, Marie Antoinette,
Carmen Dell'Orefice, Cleopatra, Fleur Cowles, Baby Jane Holzer, Betty
Boop,
Doris Day, and Gloria Guinness were among those providing
inspiration.
Mario Buatta was seen departing with at least three giant bags out
to the checkroom, and then heading back for more. He just could not
get enough. He was followed shortly thereafter by such champion shoppers
as the D&D Building’s owner Charles Cohen, Vogue magazine’s Alexandra Kotur, Tobie Roosevelt, Janna Bullock, Julia Wallace,
Robert Rufino, Allison Weiss, Mark Gilbertson, Melissa Berkelhammer,
Eva
and Brendan Dillon, Patty Raynes, Fernanda Kellogg and Kirk Henckels,
Chappy Morris, Renee and Karl Landegger, Barbara Cates, Victoria
and Robert Lindgren, Roy Kean, Lise Arliss, Frances Beatty and Alex
Adler, Colleen Lehane, Helaine and Hugh Tilney, Michèle Gerber
Klein, Mireya and Joseph D’Angelo, Debbie Bancroft, Lara Glazier,
Liz Hull, Anna Wiglama, Melinda and Charles Dubow, Ruth Fleischmann,
Ingrid Edelman, Lisa Gorrivan and Paul Adams, Michel Witmer, who
found a cache of rare art books. Bunny Williams, Jamie Drake and
Charlotte Moss each set up tables to sign and sell their new coffee
table shelter books.
On the bazaar’s The Boulevard of Shops, were CASA CASA, Hatchlings,
Nina McLemore, Personal Best, Monogram Shoppe, Peter Elliot Stores,
Portolano Products, The World of Antiques, Trish Bodell Hopkins Design,
Ruzzetti & Gow, Valentin Magro, and Walker Antiques.
Most people hit the bazaar’s legendary Flea Market first. It
was a mother lode of silver, linens, fur coats, antique furniture
and furnishings, costumed jewelry and vintage clothing with such
labels as Gucci, Hermes, Ferragamo, Bill Blass, Carolina Herrera,
Dior, Valentino, Karl Lagerfeld, Dior, Max Mara and Chanel. |

A
week ago last Wednesday night Arthur W. Zeckendorf and William
Lie Zeckendorf hosted a
book party for architect
and historian (and also Dean of the Yale School of Architecture),
Robert A.M. Stern at the Sales Office of Fifteen
Central Park West, Mr. Stern’s newest and most spectacular
private residential apartment creation which is now abuilding
on Central
Park West between 62nd and 63rd Street on the the former site of
the Mayflower Hotel.
The book Houses and Gardens, published by The Monacelli
Press, is a beautiful photographic compilation of twenty-six of Mr.
Stern’s
most memorable residential designs located in superb natural settings
across North America. These remarkable houses reveal the architect’s
emphasis on the importance of context and his dedication to exploring
the nature of place. The book itself is a beauty and a piece of art
in terms of its own publishing composition, and almost heavy enough
to serve as a cornerstone in one of Mr. Stern’s buildings. |
