Style needs

So, there I was at the Dries Van Noten luncheon where he received the 2009 Award for Artistry in Fashion by The Couture Council of The Museum at The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). I'm extremely shy among strangers, but I introduced myself to Phillip Lim and he was extremely kind and warm. I also met Isabel and Ruben Toledo, what a gorgeous and charming pair. Everyone was so nice and I mingled as best I could while trying to capture some photos.

Iman, dressed by Dries Van Noten, looked younger and more beautiful than ever. Phillip Lim's YSL cheetah shoes were perfect. Hamish Bowles looked dashing in a patterned double breasted suit by DVN. Maggie Gyllenhall was a lovely and gracious presenter. Victor De Souza and Michelle Harper made a striking couple. And, yes, when Daphne Guinness made her entrance, I swooned. I am obsessed with the inimitable Daphne Guinness. How does she walk in those shoes?? In the last photo of Daphne, she is chatting with Dries, who was the picture of understated chic and surprisingly at ease.
