Hot Tub Time Machine
On Monday night, Iman brought the house down as she accepted the Fashion Icon statuette from the Council of Fashion Designers of America at the 28th annual awards ceremony. Two nights later, at a celebratory dinner at Indochine hosted by Visionaire’s Stephen Gan and pioneering former model agent Bethann Hardison, the witty supermodel—not an oxymoron, after all—acknowledged that she appreciates the accolades: “Who wouldn’t?” But that doesn’t mean she’s about to rest on her laurels. “It’s not about being good or being liked,” said the entrepreneur, who is making the brave leap into TV talent contests as a host on Bravo’s The Fashion Show. “It’s about being relevant.” That means staying abreast of today’s rising talents. “I met Alexander Wang at the Met gala, and he said he would like to make something for me,” she said of the sheer cocktail dress she was wearing. “So I e-mailed him two days later and said, ‘I hope you weren’t kidding.’ “
After a relatively laid-back dinner, the night’s momentum started to build. Over dessert, downtown diva Joey Arias performed a tribute in which he praised every part of Iman’s body—yes, every single part. And then it was off to the Black Room, a new section of the 18th floor of the Standard Hotel consisting of some darkened corridors and a hot tub. This is where people let their hair down (and more, but we’ll get to that in a minute). “I’m 55!” Iman told Tyson Beckford as he dragged her to the center of the dance floor. Not long after that, a few boys jumped into the hot tub, some in their shorts, one in a sequined trenchcoat. But it was the girl who stripped down to her birthday suit who will be remembered most. “That’s a brave woman,” Liya Kebede observed.
