God, fashion people can be cynical sometimes. As guests gathered around the two long tables in the private room of NYC's Locanda Verde last night, a common refrain could be overheard: "What is this dinner for?" People! When did we start thinking that all soirees had to be in aid of something? Can't two brands, like Rag & Bone and Mytheresa, just decide to throw together a multicourse meal for the hell of it, because it might be fun?
That was indeed the raison d’être for the shindig, a mutual admiration society gathering thrown by Rag & Bone and Munich-based e-tailer Mytheresa to celebrate their admiration for each other. Liv Tyler , Spike Jonze, Michael Pitt , and Alexa Chung were among the friends-of enjoying a dinner of salads; various kinds of thin slivers of meat; lemon, Pecorino, and asparagus pasta; chicken and fennel; and much, much more. The groaning table seemed to offer some of the guests an opportunity to soak up their hangovers after a few boozy nights, starting, of course, with the Met ball. Rag man Marcus Wainwright , however, was in perfectly good form and reported that his placement at the Met dinner provided spark enough. He was, he said, seated with Rihanna. Meanwhile, a few seats down, erstwhile Victoria's Secret models Toni Garrn and Camille Rowe tucked into large helpings of dessert—yogurt-flavored gelato, lemon tart, chocolate torte—with appetites that would drive any persistent dieter to despair. Rowe, who opened the Fall 2014 Rag & Bone show, appears to stay slender thanks to a keenness for sport. "Foosball," she enthused, between mouthfuls of tart. "Like all French kids, I grew up playing. I'm obsessed. I can kick anyone's ass."
