The Top 10 Parties Of New York Fall Fashion Week 2012

3. THREE-WAY TIE: MADE For Alexander Wang After Party Sponsored by Belvedere; Opening Ceremony 10 Year Anniversary Party; and Purple Mag's 20th Birthday

Over the weekend, the city did not sleep. From Alexander Wang's after party at the Emigrant Bank Building to Purple Magazine's party at The Top of the Standard to the Opening Ceremony 10 Year Anniversary at Webster Hall, the city's hippest people headed out on Friday and Saturday night, and all three parties were packed with a good mix of uptowners and downtowners ringing in Fashion Week.

MADE For Alexander Wang After Party Sponsored by Belvedere

When: Saturday, September 9 Where: Emigrant Bank Building Who was there: Karlie Kloss, Alexander Wang, Zuzana Gregorova, Rachel Alexander, Lindsay Ellingson, Michael Polish, Kate Bosworth, Jenna Lyons, Solange Knowles, Angela Lindvall, Waris Ahluwalia, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Mazdack Rassi, Lily Kwong, Jenne Lombardo, Vanessa Traina, Jared Leto, Chelsea Leyland, Russell Simmons, Andrew Bevan, and Ben Pundole. Details: With the elegant Emigrant Bank building as a backdrop, The MADE for Alexander Wang after party, sponsored by Belvedere, drew a wide range of people including models, designers, DJs, actors, and more. The prize for most crowded party of the week goes to Alexander Wang, where the house rocked out during a surprise performance by Busta Rhymes. Busta Rhymes wasn't the only surprise of the evening, though: Milk Studios founder Mazdack Rassi was sucker-punched in the face by another guest. According to the NYPost, Rassi had accidentally stepped on the man's foot before getting "clocked in the face." Rassi was said to have been taken to the hospital, where he received medical attention.

Details: Lil Kim killed it at Webster Hall over the weekend, when Opening Ceremony cofounders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim transformed the gigantic venue into seven of the coolest NYC clubs of last decade to honor the brand's past 10 years. Club Luxx, Smiths Sway Night + The Hole, Clubber Down Disco, and GHE20 G0TH1K were all there to celebrate Opening Ceremony's birthday, and the crowd, according to WWD, was,

"a run-on hyphenate of nearly any fashionable subculture that has had a moment in New York in the last 10 years."

Purple Mag's 20th Birthday

When: Saturday, September 9 Where: The Top of the Standard Who was there: Olivier Zahm, Chloë Sevigny, Jared Leto, André Balazs, Nur Khan, Adrien Brody, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Waris Ahluwalia, James Goldstein, Sabine Heller, and Wes Mason Details: Though there was a rumor that Lady Gaga would attend the party, which was preceded by a dinner downstairs at the Standard Grill, it turned out that the pop star was actually in London, and didn't return to New York until later in the week. The Hilton sisters attended Purple Mag's dinner but chose to party with Opening Ceremony at Webster Hall later in the evening. Purple Mag's anniversary party, celebrating 20 years, was more low-key than other parties going on around the city, [Andre Saraiva, Lindsey Wixon, Andre Balazs, via] [Photo via]
