Last night was the GMHC Fashion Forward Event. GMHC launched Fashion Forward in 2007 to salute the fashion industry's longstanding commitment to fighting HIV and AIDS. Before arriving at the event we had to make a stop at the Guest of a Guest relaunch party. We said a quick hello to Rachelle who looked amazing in a dress by designer Keith Lissner. I was so excited to finally meet her. We then had a quick drink while saying hello to friends and off we went to GMHC. By the time we arrived to the event the venue was already packed. We worked our way through the crowd to check out the silent auction and grab a drink from the bar sponsored by Kettle One. (Yum!) I have to say I always love meeting new people in the fashion industry. The conversation goes like this. "Nice to meet you." "I love your glasses." "Who makes them?" "Are they just glass?" "What do you do?" "Nice to meet you." All of this as their eyes look you up and down real slow so you "don't" know they are trying to figure out who you are. It always make me laugh. By this time the Fashion Show by Saks Fifth Avenue started featuring Resort 2009 Collections. Now we all know what we should be wearing for our holiday getaways. Just before the show ended we dashed to coat check to avoid the lines and off we went to meet an old friend for dinner. The perfect way to end the evening.
