An eclectic mix of downtown fashion cuties and leggy models,industry types and fun famous folks like Barbara Bush, Brad Goreski andCobrastarship's Gabe Saporta joined in on the dance-floor fun. Gurungand his main buddies, whom he refers to as his "sistas" -- GQ'sDamien Nunes, Docker's Shaun Lee Lewis, The Aisle's David Yassky, stylist Sam Spector and stylist Yuki James -- were pretty much apoplectic when DJ Mia Moretti blasted Britney Spears'"Hold it Against Me," Gurung's favorite tune of the evening. "'You feellike paradise and I need a vacation tonight,'" Gurung playfully sang along, telling us,"That's what I need. A vacation."
Gurung, however, seemed to be pretty carefree last night. With the endless congratulatory bear-hugs, it was his evening. The designer, however, was more interested in celebratingthe woman on the ones and twos, who had taken a red-eye from LA just toprovide the epic after-party tunes. "Mia is by far, hands down the bestDJ alive. I'm not kidding," raved Gurung. "She ispassionate about her music, she's really into it and she's not justdoing it for the sake of being the 'cool' DJ. She really loves it and Ican sense it. She's theperfect blend of artistic, cool, smart, downtown girlwho's not afraid to dress it up."
Artistic, cool, smart, downtown andunafraid.. if yesterday's stunning collection is any indication ofwhat's next for Gurung, we think we'll be hearing those words associated with his name for a good while longer.
