Designer in Residence
For some reason, the Couture Council of the Museum at FIT has decided to honor a guy by the name of “Karl Lagerfeld” at its annual benefit luncheon next month. Lunch is already sold out, but last night, the group went ahead and formally kicked off ticket sales anyway, as it does every year at its summer party. Couture Council chairs Yaz Hernández, Alexandra Lebenthal, Charlotte Moss, and Liz Peek played host at the French Embassy, as guests including Francisco Costa, Ralph Rucci, and Nicole Miller sipped white Bordeaux and munched on toast point hors d’oeuvres.
“We were at a meeting of the advisory board and someone mentioned, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we could get Karl?’ ” recalled Valerie Steele, director and chief curator of the Museum at FIT. (Apparently, this Karl person is rather a big deal in certain circles.) “So we were talking about it, like, as kind of a pie-in-the-sky idea,” she continued, “and finally, I said, you know what? Screw it. Let’s ask! He can only say no…”
So, lo and behold, Lagerfeld will be making an appearance in New York City on September 10, a prospect that has Hernández properly giddy. Hernández helped found the Couture Council five years ago, and naturally she’s over the moon about the way this year’s luncheon has shaped up. “Oh my God, it’s a fantasy,” she said. “People are so busy, it’s hard to put another event on the calendar. But of course, everyone comes out for Karl.”
Whoever he is.
