evelers spilled out into Mercer Street at Phillip Lim's store opening party on Tuesday night. The new boutique's air-conditioning was having trouble keeping pace with the capacity crowd, which included Coach's Reed Krakoff, Vogue's Anna Wintour, Barneys' Howard Socol, and fellow designers like Sue Stemp, Subversive's Justin Giunta, and David Neville and Marcus Wainwright of Rag & Bone—not to mention a clutch of celebrities in Lim's Fall line. "I love that his clothes are so effortless and simultaneously so chic and couture," said Debra Messing, who looked like she could've been preparing for her role in the remake of George Cukor's 1939 film The Women in Lim's crystal-studded turban.
Things only got more chic afterward at the intimate dinner that was held in the building's duplex penthouse, which, Lim said, is available for rent. "I'd guess this place goes for, what, $10,000 a month," added Catalina Sandino Moreno, whose next film, Love in the Time of Cholera, comes out in November. "It's in Soho, after all, and just look at this deck." She was right—it was huge. And no expense was spared, either, on the Veuve Clicquot bubbly. Five of the house's signature champagnes accompanied the meal, during which John Legend regaled his tablemates with tales of his recent tour of South Africa, Nigeria, and Europe. Asked why he was at the party, the crooner said, "I like to dress well, why else?"
