PAPER
Word of Mouth

Last night the floodgates opened to the resounding roar of celebrities sashaying in all their glory lighting up the miserable old Lexington Armory for the CFDA's 7th on Sale Gala. The air was giddy with perfume and excitement in the cavernous space which is stocked with donated designer goods to be sold at a fraction of their cost benefiting AIDS Research.

It was the best attended party this decade! Think the Oscars meets the MET’s Costume Institute Gala with a dash of the the MTV Video Music Awards. Let me just drop some drop-dead names—Kate Moss,Kate Bosworth ,Bette Midler, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Elle Macpherson, Valentino, Naomi Campbell, Dita Von Teese, Eve, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Jennifer Connelly, Parker Posey! Ok, I have to stop, but it was truly an amazing night! See for yourself below!
