(NEW YORK) Doom and gloom, be banished! Last night,
Gilles Mendel and
Ivanka Trump hosted a cocktail party at the J. Mendel boutique on Madison Avenue for
Life in Color, a new book by wardrobe consultants
Joe Lupo and
Jesse Garza of Visual Therapy.
"I can't take this coat off," announced
Carmen Dell'Orefice as the coatcheck girl attempted to wrangle her large fur. "Gilles gave it to me as a gift." The model mugged appropriately for the cameras with everyone in sight before quickly ducking out. "My foot is bothering me so I must go," said Dell'Orefice as she made a grand, sweeping exit.
Mendel and Trump mingled with champagne-swillers like
Vogue's Meredith Melling Burke,
Dr. Lisa Airan, and
Amy Fine Collins. "To be profitable in this environment is no easy feat," noted Trump, who was decked out in J. Mendel as well as one of her own diamond necklaces that was draped over her decolletage. "We're there so we must be doing something right."
