“Dear Fashionista,

Sunday night’s GQ Party, held in honor of their 50th anniversary, was a star-studded event, but perhaps more imprssive than the stars - the magazine invited editors from competing magazines to join in the festivities. Jim Nelson told us that some people on his staff weren’t sure it was a good move, but we loved it!

The festa was thrown in a beautiful (really) old factory on the south side of Milan. Besides the non-GQ editors, the magazine was joined by numerous models, buyers, press, and designers.

Dolce & Gabbana made an early appearance and slipped out before the crowd grew large.

Actor James Franco was led around by a formidable man who periodically said, “We have to move, James.�

Hot Chip played an amazing set; champagne, mojitoes, and Campari were served all around; and security was busy trying to control the number of smokers packed onto the steel staircase outside.

A good time was had by all, and it showed the next morning at the 9:30 call for the DSquared2 show… which is where we’re headed right now.

More from the D&G afterparty later!
