"The Most Glamorous Open Studio Ever"
There were plenty of scantily clad models at last night’s Tribeca Ball, but not necessarily of the fashion variety. While most of the students at the New York Academy of Art’s annual fundraiser merely showed their work, others were busy making it—hence the models—and for extra fun, guests were invited to insert themselves into a tableau vivant of Manet’s Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe for a photo op.
Helena Christensen, no stranger to baring flesh, took a moment on her way in to recall the time she sat for Francesco Clemente. “He did a watercolor portrait of my face, and I looked eerily like my mom.” Posing for Irving Penn, she added, was like having an old-fashioned portrait done. “He would get you in a position that you kept for so long that your muscles ended up trembling—and that’s when he shot it, when you were literally about to collapse,” Christensen said. Then she was off, joining the likes of Parker Posey, the Richards sisters, and Beatrix Ost (the German artist who inspired the Olsen twins’ latest collection) for a haphazard tour of the school’s five floors of artist studios.
Later on, dinner was served atop swatches of pinstriped suiting fabric from Brooks Brothers, which co-sponsored with Van Cleef & Arpels. Most everyone stole a glance at Jennifer Connelly, who was seated in the middle of the room with husband Paul Bettany. The whole thing was enough to impress painter Rosson Crow, who’s got a foot in the fashion world thanks to her collaborations with Zac Posen and knows a good soirée when she sees it: “This is the most glamorous open studio I’ve ever seen!”
