Tony and Eva in the car

I have been to the Met Ball Benefit for the Costume Institute for decades and 2009 was maybe one of the best ones!!!

Of course the dozens and dozens of gorgeous models did add to the beautiful atmosphere and the mood.  The Museum stairs and corridors were covered in zebra carpeting and the Temple of Dendur was turned into an Egyptian fantasy of the old El Morocco.

The exhibition curated by Harold Koda was really fun and daring, but I will have to go back another time to enjoy it… I was too busy taking photos until my camera flew on the marble floor and broke!!

Fall has barely arrived, and it is already Spring 2009 Fashion week!

I called my show Rock Goddess, and dedicated it to Diana Vreeland who taught me that we could be goddesses and rock stars. It is really about freedom and lightness … with fluid silhouettes, airy fabrics and irresistible colors. The girls are beautiful; they have garlands in their hair and smoky eyes. The room is full of people packed into the large tent of Bryant Park. International and American press, buyers, friends and a very glamorous front row! Jennifer Lopez, Eva Longoria and Uma Thurman on one side with Leighton Meister and Rosario Dawson to name a few on the other.

I feel happy when I take my bow with Nathan Jenden, the Creative Director, and the crowd is loving and warm. The after party is at the Studio … Indochine made the food … delicious!!
