Bergdorf Goodman, NYC Ballet, Rizzoli, and SJP celebrate in style

Last night, the chicest of New Yorkers gathered to raise a glass to all things intrinsic to the city’s fashionable fabric: NYCB, SJP, and BG! The ultra glamorous retailer hosted a cocktail soirée to unveil the new Rizzoli tome, New York City Ballet: Choreography & Couture, which brings together photography by Pari Dukovic and words by Marc Happel. The actress, who’s long since lent her fashion icon status to the dance organization by championing designer collaborations and ensuring its celebratory gala is a jewel in the annual social calendar, served as co-host. In turn, designers, writers, fashion industry insiders, and New York City Ballet leadership flocked to the BG Restaurant overlooking Central Park to return the support. Among those who attended were Charles Miers, Kathy Brown, Narciso Rodriguez, Jovani Furlan, Alec Knight, Mimi Staker, Wendy Goodman, Taylor Stanley, India Bradley, Gonzalo Garcia, Ezra Hurwitz, Edward Barsamian, Elle Strauss, and many more.

Agyness Deyn made her runway return at Sacai 

OG Indie Sleaze poster girl and muse Agyness Deyn retired from modeling over a decade ago, and unlike her aughts-era peers, has rarely stepped foot back on the catwalk since. Alas, the now 40-year-old model returned to the runway at the Sacai show, looking every inch the pared-back beauty and fashion icon of yore. Light years away from the fashion scene, Deyn had been living in upstate New York with her husband and three children, recently telling Dazed she has been focusing on acting in independent English films and doing some theater. As for why now, she’s back in the hustle of NYC as her eldest daughter starts school, and when one particular designer came calling, the timing felt right. “I had a call from my agent asking if I wanted to walk a show in Paris,” she told Vogue. “Then, I met with [Sacai designer] Chitose Abe and I was starstruck. I’m such a fan of the brand, so it felt exciting, as well as organic, to be doing the show with her.”
