Patrick McMullan 20th anniversary In Interview Magazine Party

February 10 2009 – Elaines 1703 Second Avenue , New York City

We just came back from the “Patrick McMullan 20th anniversary in Interview Magazine” Party. For those not in the ‘know’, Patrick McMullan is one of the most well-known American celebrity photographers of the late 20th century and probably one of the nicest photogs you’ll ever have the chance of encountering. Tonight at Elaine’s Restaurant held the soiree in his honour, along with Interview staff, celebs and friends, all to celebrate his 20 years of amazing work. Marisa Berenson flew from Paris just to be there for the fete, mentioning to a partygoer “I came especially to celebrate Patrick’s work, I ‘m also here to attend my friend Diane Von Furstenberg‘s show this Sunday”.

Talking about DVF, Olivia Parlermo was quite the gorgeous ray of sunshine this evening, cuddling in her boyfriend’s arm, German model Johannes Huebl. Iman, Stephanie Seymour, Mary Boone, Patrick McDonald, Rick and Kathy Hilton all came out in style for their good friend Patrick. Kimora Lee Simmons arrived later in the evening, in a gorgeous taffeta beige bustier dress along with her handsome hubby Dijimon Hounsou. Waris Ahluwalia came with french artist Andre who just re-created the new Belvedaire Vodka bottle. Even the Contesse LuAnn de Lesseps was relishing in the Euro-American conversations, elegantly jumping between french and english with other socialites.

Never a moment off the clock, the night ended with Patrick stepping outside of Elaine’s doing what he does best: photographing ‘the moment’ and enjoying the good company of friends.
