Is there a saying something along the lines of "ain't no party like a three story West Village townhouse party for fashion designer
Chris Benz's 30th birthday and #bafeastorfashion"? No? Well, there should be. Because last night we threw one as both Fashion Week and Bon Appétit's Feast or Fashion rolled on.
After Sunday night's intimate dinner party at the NoMad Hotel, we knew two things had to happen. First, there had to be yet another night of awesome food and drink. Second, we needed to let our hair down a bit and have a serious party, trading out tablecloths for turntables. We got scientific, put on our SAT analogy hats (RIP), and came up with this.
NoMad's
Daniel Humm : Elegant dinner party ::
Dale Talde of Talde in Park Slope : Kicka$$ party.
You can tell we aced our SATs, right (at least the verbal section)? Moving on.
Seeing as this was a #bafeastorfashion party, ample amounts of models, celebrities and celebrity models (!) were present. At what other party can you find Benz pals like
Kelly Osbourne,
Alison Pill (The Newsroom),
Anna Chlumsky (VEEP),
Chace Crawford (Gossip Girl) and model
Jessica Stam hanging out with food world heavy-hitters like
Katie Lee, Del Posto's
Mark Ladner, Booker & Dax's
Dave Arnold (who also provided the drinks for the evening) and others?
The fine folks at
Chandon styled the place out with a sparkling wine bar. As for the birthday cake? We got Momofuku Milk Bar pastry whiz
Christina Tosi to do the honors.
