Oscar de la Renta skips own bash after falling ill

Oscar de la Renta missed his own book party Thursday night when he caught the flu.

But a chic crowd including his wife, Annette, Cindi Leive, Steven Kolb, Robbie Myers and Mercedes Bass gathered at his Madison Avenue boutique to celebrate his coffee-table book,“Oscar de la Renta: The Style, Inspiration and Life of Oscar de la Renta.”

Vogue editor Anna Wintour also skipped the bash because she and Christy Turlington Burns hosted a party for new Condé Nast Traveler editor Pilar Guzmán at 7 World Trade Center.

Wintour and Turlington Burns, who appears in the March issue, mingled with Jenna Lyons, Marcus Samuelsson, Sandra Lee, Karolina Kurkova, Georgina Chapman and Mario Testino.
