Repossi, ensconced in a corner for most of the evening, contrasted the working styles of two of New York's favorite new faces. "With Joseph [Altuzarra] it was very easy. We discussed what we wanted back in September, and gradually it happened until his show," she explained. "But Alex [Wang] was much more fast-paced. Up until three days before the show, we were still discussing the motif and the feel of the show. We tried Skype-ing, but that didn't work so well." Perhaps not, but her burnt-gold cuffs were still standouts on his runway.

With everyone at their seats and jewelry talk wrapped up, the conversation moved on to the very late-arriving dinner courses. The invite said 8 p.m., but the first course didn't hit the tables till nearly 11 p.m. Erin Wasson was jealously eyeing the cut-up croque monsieur that was given to Asia Zahm, Olivier Zahm's daughter. "You know, that's all you need: cheese and carbs," Wasson concluded. "That will get you through fashion week." Perhaps a hunger tizzy was to blame, but before the end of the night there was a full-on flower fight, using the centerpieces as ammunition, between tables—Trish Goff, Wasson, and Lindsay Lohan on one side, and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld, Giovanna Battaglia, and the Traina sisters on the other. "This is not very French," Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, who remained neutral in the floral fray, explained. "But I'm sure they're amused."
