3:20 p.m.: Taylor Schilling is glowing. I can’t wait for next season of her show.
5:03 p.m.: Chirlane McCray arrives and no one seems to know who she is. I arrange a photo op with her and Steven Kolb.… Other photogs figure it out and swarm.…
The Hilton sisters are here. “Oh, my God, it’s sooo sunny,” Nicky says to Paris. “And I don’t even have my sunglasses.” Tragedy.
8:48 p.m.: [Donatella Versace] She sits in the center of the cluster of models. Then she does that thing that all the Italian designers seem to do: She stands up and the celebs are brought to her one by one for photo ops.
There is white confetti everywhere like snow. There are two guys with blowers blowing the confetti as I click away at the guests. One girl lies down on the floor and makes a snow angel. Classic fashion week party image!
Dao-Yi [Chow] has been here alone greeting and entertaining the guests. He’s made me feel very welcome. Finally, Maxwell [Osborne] arrives. Some confetti blasts and I get my shot.… These guys rock!
The Fanning sisters come out, I pick up my camera. “They are not doing pictures now,” their publicist snaps. I see them heading toward the exit, so I lift my camera. They both turn their heads away in unison. The backs of two heads — that’s a first.
Finally, my editor and I are allowed behind the curtain. I work the room. Jonah Hill, Jamie Bell and Rashida Jones — pop pop! Spike Jonze and Dree Hemingway — flash flash!
