New York’s fall social scene delivered a stack of quotes this week, and Michael Kors is leading the pack. At God’s Love We Deliver’s 20th Annual Golden Heart Awards, an evening that raised almost $4 million, the designer was asked about Crocs and gave a beautifully diplomatic answer: his husband Lance Le Pere could pull them off, but if Kors wore them,“the world would cry.”We’d like to formally request that no one test this theory.
Conan O’Brien also got honest in a way only he can. Looking back on his late-night years, he said the free gifts hosts accumulate were nothing worth keeping, comparing the whole pile to a urinal cake with his name on it. Rough imagery, but the man has a point: nobody needs a drawer full of branded stuff they never asked for. Troye Sivan kept things sweeter, opening the TLY Scent Café on Elizabeth Street with his sister Sage for exactly eight days, which means the fan countdown is already ticking.
The rest of the column reads like a highlight reel of the city’s best rooms: Anjula Acharia’s All That Glitters Diwali Ball at NoMad’s Ambassadors Clubhouse, Helen Mirren joking that she’d be a hopeless assassin because she won’t even kill spiders, and a packed live taping of the“Excuse My Grandma”podcast. From fashion to fragrance to a Diwali celebration with real mainstream pull, it was a week with something for everyone.
