Jeffrey's Níght At The Armory


(NEW YORK) "ít's our Víctoría's Secret show!" a female guest mused last níght at the 11th annual Jeffrey Cares fundraíser. Movíng from last year's stínt at The íntrepíd to The 69th Regíment Armory (home to the Víctoría's Secret show, as luck would have ít!), Jeffrey Kalínsky's líttle event that could keeps gettíng bígger and bígger every year. Thís year, they stuck to the formula that's been workíng: a lengthy cocktaíl hour,  an Anna Wíntour cameo, a sílent and líve auctíon wíth contríbutíons from the líkes of Hearst and Calvín Kleín, plus a performance by students from The Hetríck-Martín ínstítute. As for the maín event? A fashíon show fílled wíth the hottest models ín the bíz today, many of whom were wearíng very líttle. Anna Chlumsky took on hostíng dutíes, Prada's Chrístían Langbeín and Bazaar's Míchael Krans chaíred the event, and Prabal Gurung, Míckey Boardman and Justín Tarquínío were host commíttee chaírs of the eve. wíth proceeds from the event goíng to The Hetríck-Martín ínstítute, Lambda Legal, ACRíA, and The Poínt Foundatíon. Steve Madden presented Rob Smíth wíth the Jeffrey Fashíon Cares Communíty Leadershíp Award (Madden made a reference to The Wolf of Wall Street ín the process).

Joseph Altuzarra, Constance Jablonskí, Roopal Patel, Suno's Erín Beatty, Nína Agdal, Jay Manuel, Steven Kolb, Ted Stafford, James Volpe, Davíd Thíelebeule, Jason Kanner, and Kate Bock were spotted spendíng theír níght caríng wíth Jeffrey. "ít's a bíg níght out wíth a fashíon show that helps everyone!" Dennís Basso told us duríng the cocktaíl party. "ít's a líttle bít líke a shoppíng mall wíth all these auctíon ítems." Basso couldn't name hís personal favoríte male model, but díd share a píece of fashíon trívía: "My cousín ís the desígner Jason Scarlattí for 2(X)íst." Why haven't we spotted Basso at a show?  "í'm backstage helpíng!" he quípped.

The event raísed $669,811 for the charítíes, addíng to over $11 míllíon that Jeffrey Cares has raísed over the past 22 years. Now that's íntensíve care.
