Chick is back in the week.
After years of New York Fashion Weeks being more somber than glam — even before the pandemic hit — this season’s event seems to be showing signs of A-List life.
Fashion’s biggest week technically kicks off on Friday, but stars like Janet Jackson and Julia Fox are kicking off earlier.
Jackson kicked off NYFW on Tuesday with Jazz at Lincoln Center, Harlem’s Fashion Row and LVMH honored her with the “Icon of the Year” award.
Issa Rae, Sergio Hudson and Robin Givhan were honored during the evening’s Harlem Fashion Row 15th Annual Fashion Show and Style Awards at the General Grant National Memorial in Harlem.
Unlike the other nominees, Jackson accepted her award late at the afterparty because she “literally flew in from London,” she told the crowd.
Celebrity stylist Wouri Vice dresses Jackson in Off-White FW22, the late Virgil Abloh’s final collection for the brand. Miss Jackson was seen with Amanda Lepore and Susan Bartsch at the latter’s weekly “Up” party at Le Bain.
Meanwhile, downtown indie fashionista Julia Fox attended David Rabin’s American Bar, where her brand manager Kendall Werts celebrated the five-year anniversary of talent agency The Jeffries.
Wertz client Evan Mock belted out tunes at the event, and George Wayne and Aki Lee Simon — daughter of Kimora Lee and Russell Simon — were also in attendance.
The party “felt like Studio 54,” Wertz told us.
And the parties are just getting started.
On Thursday, Fotografiska is hosting two parties. Gigi Hadid and Diane von Furstenberg will host UK Vogue editor Edward Enninful’s book launch dinner and after-party at on-site restaurant Veronica.
Photographer David LaChapelle hosts friends including Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, Doja Cat, Paris Hilton and Daphne Guinness for the “Make Believe” show. We’re told the party will take place throughout the museum and Chapel Bar.
And of course, the mayor of the party, Eric Adams, should get in on all the fashion action. We hear he’ll be hosting a CFDA party with Anna Wintour at the Gracie Mansion on Thursday. Wintour is expected at an Indochina dinner thrown by Dior’s Kim Jones and Marc Jacobs on Friday night. Saint Laurent and J
Fashion icon Grace Jones makes a party appearance this week. The superstar celebrates with a new canal scented candle named after her at a public hotel.
Bose is hosting an event featuring music by The Strokes and designer Heron Preston.
The Daily holds its annual Fashion Media Awards, which always brings out the media and star power. Busy Phillips is organizing this year’s event. The fashion publication will also host a bash at the Hard Rock Hotel.
This year, Harper’s Bazaar will switch locations from the Plaza to Bloomingdale’s to host the glamor icons event. Jack Harlow works.
