Zac Posen greeted Hamish Bowles with an impish grin, an embrace, and the question of the night at The Editor's Eye book signing held yesterday evening. "We had dinner plans after this, but I'm pretty sure we're just going to sit around and devour this book from cover to cover," said Posen.
So echoed the sophisticated crowd that attended the event hosted by the Vogue International Editor At Large, Fashion Director Tonne Goodman, and Barneys. "Hopefully, I'll get some signatures tomorrow in the office," quipped Meredith Melling Burke, winking at Phyllis Posnick and Grace Coddington, both profiled in the book.
Celebrating the accomplishments of _Vogue'_s most iconic contributors, The Editor's Eye itself was truly the standout belle of the ball. "It's just amazing flipping through so many editorial spreads all together at once," noted a fresh-faced Caroline Trentini, effortlessly put together in a cozy angora vest layered over tights and ballet flats. "You really get a sense of what goes into these shoots, and the incredible people working behind the camera," she said.
De Dudzeele was of course alluding to the striking partygoers who embodied the theme of the book. The range of styles covered classically chic (Carolyn Murphy pairing a fitted, bracelet-sleeved black sheath with a Chanel bag and minimal makeup), enviously glamorous (Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman donning meticulously crafted cocktail dresses of their own design), youthfully eclectic (Hilary Rhoda wearing a patterned wool blazer, Dannijo statement necklace, and Céline trapeze bag), and invitingly relaxed (Derek Lam sporting a loosened tie). At an aerial glance, it was the best of the best in their element—worthy of any editor's eye.
