Last night, I "judged" Dressed to Kilt, a charity fashion show thrown by Friends of Scotland, a group that supports military veterans on both sides of the Atlantic.

Although I was disappointed by the absence of Ed Westwick, there were plenty of other colorful characters that made it an eventful, often hilarious, evening.

Some highlights from the event:

Sam Waterston in a kilt. And my shameless excitement when he walked down the runway.

Harris tweed dresses.

Joan Jett in a bad-ass getup.

Britt's All Saints dress.

Matthew Modine helping me down the stairs.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label. Kyle MacLachlan.

A septuagenarian yelling at Britt for standing in his section.

Glenfiddich on the rocks at the Norwood afterparty.

Last Night's Parties: Vintage Prada, Wu's Sunnies and...Chuck Bass

Last night we scampered around Manhattan, desperate for some good people watching and some great fashion. Fortunately, we were graced with both. First, it was cocktails at Prada on Madison Ave., where those involved with charity New Yorkers for Children gathered to take in gorgeous re-issued vintage Prada dresses--we were smitten with a long, lingerie-inspired number--and fall 2010 runway looks re-imagined in rich burgundy, slate and black duchess satin. (The latter will be loaned by Prada to several women attending the gala.) While we could have stayed at Prada all night--sipping cocktails mixed by The Carlyle Hotel's famed bartender--Jason Wu was calling our names.

Lanvin for H&M? Yes, Please!

The word in Paris is that Lanvin might be the next H&M collaborator. If it is indeed true, the collection will hit stores in early November. I must rejoice! I've been a bit disappointed by the H&M collaborations over the past few seasons. An Alber collection should be a return to the Stella McCartney and Karl Lagerfeld days of yore. What's more, Lanvin is not one of those brands where one can find an "affordable" piece here or there. Even the Acne x Lanvin dresses were $800 or more--I was lucky enough to find one at the Barneys warehouse sale for $40 about a year ago. I think I'll wear it today in honor of this wonderful news. I'm hoping for something like the look featured here to show up in the collection. Which Lanvin silhouette would you like to get your hands on?
