Stefano Tonchi jokes about his age at FIT gala

W Magazine editor Stefano Tonchi worried about his age when he was invited to receive an honor from the Fashion Institute of Technology. After Jessica Chastain presented his award Monday, Tonchi, 53, told the crowd at Cipriani 42nd Street, “My first reaction was, damn, am I so old to be honored for my work? After going through a midlife crisis, today I am honored to receive this recognition.” FIT also honored George Kaufman and Ann Inc.’s Kay Krill. Also attending: Francisco Costa, Dennis Basso, Ruben and Isabel Toledo, Yaz Hernandez and Karolina Kurkova. Tonchi, still in his tux, then proved he is down with the kids by going on to Kanye West’s album listening party.
