We can think of no better reason to celebrate than the launch of a fabulous new bag, inspired by a fabulous new art museum. Most of our fellow well-heeled New Yorkers apparently feel the same way, as everyone from Stefano Tonchi to Natalie Joos came out last night to toast Max Mara's new Whitney bag, created in collaboration with Whitney Museum architect, Renzo Piano. Harley Viera-Newton DJ'd the early evening soirée at the Top of the Standard while guests sipped champagne and admired the limited edition purse. So, whose name do YOU think is first on the waiting list?
