Last Night's Parties: Chanel, Don Hill's, And Kanye At The Boom Boom

by Chiara Atik · September 10, 2010

    How are any Fashion Week parties going to beat last night's amazing selection? Kanye West at the Boom Boom Room, just about any A-lister who's ever worn Chanel at their Soho Store opening, and the official first night of what we're expecting will become the next "it" spot.

    Here are the basics of what happened last night in New York:

    The Chanel Party (Store Opening)

    Where: Don Hill's (West Village)

    Who Was There: Nur Khan, Waris Ahluwalia, Jeremy Piven, Genevieve Jones, and a sea of people in leather.

    Other Details: The open bar was only tequila, the crowd was disaffected, the performance by the Black Rebel Motorcycles was "seizure-inducing". (This is all a good thing--we're calling Don Hill's as the next hotspot.) MORE PICTURES HERE

    LnA Fashion Week Party

    Where: Milk Studios

    Who Was There: Rebecca Minkoff, Paul Johnson Calderon, Andrew Mukmal, Patti Smith, the downtown counterparts to the fashion editors at Chanel.

    Other Details: Gang Gang Dance performed, and they gave out free cigars.

    Naomi Campbell's Blackout Party

    Where: Le Bain

    Who Was There: Naomi Campbell, Ice T, Coco, Tyson Beckford

    Other Details: The party was to celebrate Naomi's 25th Anniversary in the Fashion Industry.

    Heatherette After Party

    Where: Whiskey Blue at the W Hotel

    Who Was There: Richie Rich, Ellen DeGeneres (at the show), Tinsley Mortimer (at the show)

    Other Details: Richie Rich's Heatherette show got everyone talking last night when surprise guest Ellen DeGeneres closed the show. But party, unfortunately, was a little less successful--no open bar, and without explicitly passing overt judgment on entire states, let's just say some attendees were less than happy with the guest list.

    The Re-Opening Of The Boom Boom Room

    Where: Top Of The Standard

    Who Was There: Kanye West, last minute replacement for Justin Bieber? (Just kidding.)

    Other Details: Billed as the big re-opening of the Boom Boom Room (it's been closed all summer), the place seems much the same as it did before--same decor, same A-list crowd, and same unassailable cache. Is another venue gonna knock the Boom Boom off its pedestal this season, or is this really the crown jewel of New York nightlife?
