As the designer situated himself to a seat in the middle of the store, granting photo ops with adoring "fans" including Caroline Herrera, Brian Atwood, and a radiant Anne Hathaway, Souza and Giammetti were out mingling with the crowd. Souza was as charming as ever, making sure to greet everyone before they met the Emperor himself, while Giammetti spent much of the night chatting with Derek Blasberg, Johannes Huebl, and the other chic guests.
