8. THREE-WAY TIE: DVF Spring 2013 Private Dinner; Calvin Klein Dinner at the Beatrice Inn; Barney Celebrates Rag & Bone Dinner; and MADE and Lexus Present Interview Magazine Dinner
The #8 spot on our list is all about the dinner parties. From DVF's intimate dinner at Indochine to Calvin Klein's party at the new (and not yet open) Beatrice Inn, see why these super-glam dinners made the list.
DVF Spring 2013 Private Dinner
When: Saturday, September 8
Where: Indochine
[Harley Viera Newton, Diane von Furstenberg] [Diane von Furstenberg, Carine Roitfeld]
Who was there: Diane von Furstenberg, Harley Viera Newton, Carine Roitfeld, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Colton Haynes, Lauren Remington Platt, Elizabeth von Guttman, Giovanna Battaglia, Diana Taylor, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton, Prisca Courtin-Clarins, Jenna Courtin-Clarins, Virginie Courtin-Clarins, Abigail Klem, Anke von Teppner, Khajak Keledjian, Maria Buccellati, Andrew Bevan, Hailee Steinfeld, Fran Lebowitz, Rodger Berman, Rachel Zoe, Anh Duong, Mickey Boardman, and Seth Meyers.
Details: Harley Viera Newton spun at the private event, and DVF even put on some headphones and joined the DJ for a few songs. Carine Roitfeld made an appearance at the party, perhaps knowing that very few of her Vogue fremenies would be there. It was a family affair for Roitfeld, who's son's girlfriend, Giovanna Battaglia, also showed up to support DVF. DVF's show made headlines this year not only for her designs, but for an accessory never before shown on the runway: Google glasses. The designer, along with Google cofounder Sergey Brin, donned the eyewear at her show earlier in the day and throughout the evening the crowd was still buzzing about the smart-glasses. DVF traditionally steers away from wild after parties, always preferring to keep it classy with an intimate dinner, but Indochine was packed to the brim on Saturday night as guests snacked on crab cakes, spring rolls, and other specialities from the popular downtown restaurant.

Details: Though Beatrice Inn won't officially open until tomorrow night (9/15), Francisco Costa, Calvin Klein's women's creative director, threw a star-studded party there last night to celebrate the brand's 2013 runway show. Guests got a preview of the soon-to-open restaurant, which promises to be a neighborhood-friendly steakhouse. In addition to a published phone number, the new Beatrice will accept reservations via Opentable.

Details: On Monday night at NoMad, Barneys and the Rag & Bone designers, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, celebrated the launch of the Pilot bag, the brand’s first handbag. Providing a much welcome break from the craziness of Fashion Week, guests were able to relax on the newly open and much-buzzed about rooftop of NYC's NoMad Hotel. Model Linda Evangelista wore the new bag throughout the evening, and guests, who sipped on Pimm's Cups and snacked on h'ours d'oeuvres, admired Rag & Bone's first foray into the handbag market.
