"The annual Marc Jacobs holiday parties have always been unparalleled, but 600 gyrating, half-naked, Arabian Nights-inspired guests took the designer's bash this year to what can only be described as legendary proportions ... In the midst of the fashion house's many employees who flew in from around the world, recognizable guests like Kiera Chaplin, Patrick McMullan, Bill Cunningham, Amanda Lepore, and Richie Rich enjoyed the earth-shattering dance floor and generous buffet of hearty pasta, imported salmon, meats, Turkish delights, and assorted cakes. "I feel overdressed at this party!' laughed Benjamin Cho, clad in a white bejeweled tunic. 'Everywhere I look there are naked bodies and nipples!'" (Fashionweekdaily)

"At Tuesday's Neue Galerie Winter Gala, partygoers like Aerin Lauder Zinterhofer, Zac Posen, and Craig McDean split the evening between ground-floor socializing and second-level art appreciation—though they were dressed more for the former than the latter. 'I just have to stop going up and down in these heels,' said Zani Gugelmann. 'They weren't made for stairs.'" (Style)

"The Guggenheim Artist's Ball never disappoints, and Thursday night's soirée, sponsored by Chloé and honoring artist Ryan McGinley, was no exception. Paulo Melim Andersson, Chloé's shy but talented design head, presided over a mix of artists, celebrities, models, and fashion folk which included Erin Wasson, Todd Eberle, Natalia Vodianova, Eva Lorenzotti, Allison Sarofim, and one very satisfied chief executive. 'It feels so good; this is what we are working for,' Ralph Toledano said, as Blake Lively, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Arden Wohl, Becki Newton, and Emily Mortimer sauntered by in Chloé's latest looks."

"This is the event where anyone over 20 worth less than two mill gets kicked to the curb!! This year’s Guggenheim Young Collectors Ball payed tribute to photographer Ryan McGinley. It was fun to see some of his 'riper' images of beautiful body parts on a huge screen at quite possibly the most beautiful museum ever." (Papermag)
