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. source.
