Bergdorf’s Linda Fargo to be honored by FIT

Bergdorf Goodman’s Linda Fargo will be honored at the Fashion Institute of Technology Foundation Gala on June 9, and the New York style maven won’t have to deliberate over which of her designer friends will dress her.

Alber Elbaz, Lanvin’s creative director, will fly from Paris to present Fargo with her award at Cipriani 42nd Street, and Linda said, “Thankfully, I will be wearing Lanvin.”

Fargo and fellow honoree, jewelry designer Joan Hornig, were celebrated at a luncheon at BG Restaurant thrown Wednesday by FIT’s Liz Peek.

Guests included Reed Krakoff, Gilles Mendel, Dior’s Pamela Baxter, Chanel’s Barbara Cirkva, Hilary Geary, Yaz Hernandez and Paulina Porizkova.
