CR Fashion Book launch party

“Don’t fall in the fountain,” Carine Roitfeld advised us at the beginning of her black-tie bash to celebrate the much-anticipated launch of her magazine, CR Fashion Book. Perhaps she feared that scenario at the large wading fountain on the main floor of the Frick Museum, where she held court Saturday night amid lots of well-dressed guests, given that there was plenty of Champagne, but no food available. CR Fashion Book has been one of the most eagerly awaited fashion magazines of the season, with Bruce Weber shooting the cover. The magazine’s theme of rebirth was inspired by the former French Vogue editor’s daughter, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, who was pregnant with her own daughter, Romy Nicole, while CR put together the magazine. Saturday night’s party gathered many of fashion’s brightest and best, including Weber, Stephen Gan, Riccardo Tisci, Kate Upton, Alexander Wang, Margherita Missoni, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karlie Kloss, Andre Leon Talley, John Demsey, Alina Cho, Italo Zucchelli, Tom Sachs, Sarah Hoover, Joan Smalls, Izabel Goulart, Alexia Niedzielski, Richard Chai, Andy Valmorbida, the Clarins sisters and Jessica Hart. Also there were Restoin’s family.
