Jessica Stam
I have been seeing
a lot of Stam lately
on the runways in
NYC, Milan and
Paris. She is totally
graceful and
elegant and I can
see why the
designers are
using her in almost
all the shows
10/2/08If this whole supermodel thing ever gets old for Jessica
Stam, she should totally think about a full-time gig as a
party hostess. Last night at—where else?—Régine’s, the
supermodel hosted perhaps the chicest, best-attended
charitable event the seedy Paris dance club has seen in
years. Both
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen came, as did
Emma Watson, Leigh Lezark, Lauren Santo Domingo, Kate
Bosworth, Lazaro Hernandez of Proenza Schouler, Ryan
McGinley, Caroline Sieber, and a slew of other well-turned-
out fashion weekers. But here’s the kicker: Stam didn’t
even bother with an invite. “And I barely told anyone
about it,” the blue-eyed Canadian said. “It was all word-of-
mouth.” Apparently, with a one-bottle-of-Champagne-per-
guest ratio (well, McGinley had two), people’s mouths
weren’t only being used for party chat. Watson and Tinsley
Mortimer had a dance-off and swapped tips on dirty
dancing; Alex Wang and his posse were, as he put it,
“getting wild”; Ashley Olsen’s corner jam session was only
interrupted once, when a security guard asked for a photo
with her; and
Bosworth confessed to an unhealthy love
for Hernandez, and not just because he makes her pretty
dresses. All of which pleased the hostess. “In my humble
opinion,” she said, “this is without a doubt the most fun
party of fashion week.” Perhaps the reason for the
inhibition-free dancing was the evening’s charitable
aspect: a portion of the revenues from the night will go to
Covenent House, a New York City-based organization that
gives aid to homeless children. “And oh, we didn’t allow
any photographers,” Stam added, “which always makes for
a wilder crowd.” Good thing I brought my own camera.
