T he final event in the trifecta was an in-store cocktail party, which also unveiled the VIC (IYKYK) lounge area at the back of the boutique with couches, a kitchen (in case you get peckish while doing some serious shopping), and a beautiful view of the NorthPark central courtyard with its brilliant selection of sculptures. The lounge has a black- and-white checkerboard pattern resembling the marble found in many Prada stores, but in this iteration, it's a black-and-white carpet. The ladies (and gentleman — Brian Bolke) seen at the runway viewing included Jennifer Karol, Moll Anderson, Kara Goss, Lisa Collins Shaddock, Dana Garner, Zoe Bonnette, and Krystal Schlegel Davis. I caught up over cocktails before dinner at Mister Charles with old friends including Bela Cooley, Shelby Goff, Erin Mathews, Kasey Lemkin, Rochelle Gores, Kit Sawers, and Pete West. Finally, the in-store event drew a crowd of A-list fashionable types: Max Trowbridge, Janet Gridley, Porschla and Jason Kidd, Javier Burkle and Mason McCleskey, Melinda Knowles, Janie Condon, Claire Emanuelson, and DeeDee Lee.
