[All photos by Will Ragozzino for PMc] What a night for Zac Posen! Claire Danes, Olivia Palermo, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Selma Blair, Ginnifer Goodwin, Michelle Trachtenberg, and a slew of socialites who probably haven't stepped foot in a Target in their lives all attended the Zac Posen for Target 24-Hour shopping party.-

The party, held at 481 8th Avenue (next to the Tick Tock Diner, if that's anyone elses NYC cultural touchstone), had a nostalgic prom-type feel to it. Motown hits were playing, and caterers dressed in Posen's tuxedo body suits were passing out champagne flutes, noise makers, and feathered masks which were snapped up almost as quickly as the navy-blue grommeted dress that seemed to be the most popular item of the night.
Racks of clothes on both levels of the venue were full of the highly anticipated collection: brocade skirts, tuxedo body pants, and the bright pink maxi dress that Claire Danes herself wore to the party, and later to the American Museum of Natural History's Museum Dance.
Guests included Rosson Crow, Sessilee Lopez, Fern Mallis, Coco Rocha, Alek Wek, Patricia Fields, Annabel Vartanian, Kristian Laliberte, Joe Zee, Parker Posey, Kelly Bensimon, and High Society's Malik So Chic, who was unceremoniously escorted OUT of the VIP section.
