Marsha Goes to Hollywood: The Ego's in the Art

Dear Mama: It was like a self-centered Kanye West Song, with fashion loyal hipsters and cronies from the scene around town came in swarms to see little old me and a lot of infamous art.

Riddle me MODERN, the Young & Modern Party at the Art Institute honored two colleagues of mine with the privilege of showing their fashion designs at the last, giant hoorah before it opened to the public, a benefit for the Pritzker Foundation at the Art Institute. Marisa Swystun and Michelle Barone revealed their creations which included: a shredded kimono, gorgeous gowns and fabulous organza creations on Elite models.

I was also privileged to style the girls from head to toe, I couldn't resist the chance to make a few headpieces. Using metal, plastic and yarn- I came up with 6 modern creations to accessorize their already dazzling vetements! I wore a gorgeous vintage, beaded-fringe blouse from the 60's, and my mother arrived as a more fashionable version of Diane Keaton in a white suit--- F-A-B. The night was filled with great conversation and the champagne was flowing, finding our way through the Modern Wing was quite a challenge, but the galleries were filled with amazing art and a party full of great people. It had been a SOLD OUT party for weeks for a great cause, the re-emergence of art.

Later, we all danced to a little bit of N.E.R.D- to get the crowd goin'. The after-party was fantastic as the night continued in style with a bare-chest revealed in way of a gold lame Vivienne Westwood for men and I think I saw a few bowties on the floor. What's a party without some stripping? Haha, It was fantastic to see everyone in their finest, it was the party of the season.

Just remember: Diamonds are a girls best friend.
