In town for just five days, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana managed to pack in two store openings, a dinner thrown by Anna Wintour on their behalf, a men's fragrance launch, and a banquet at the Gramercy Park Hotel. Either the designers have boundless energy or a hidden stash of Red Bull. "It's the Dolce & Gabbana life: more, more, more!" explained Gabbana at the Gramercy Park fête. "We don't like to do things small.
" True to their word, the duo ensured that their Tuesday-night party was lavish and its invitees strictly A-list. Many guests, including Kate Hudson, Eva Mendes, Alek Wek, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld worked the room in?what else??Dolce & Gabbana frocks. Anne Hathaway dubbed her pencil skirt and jeweled top "nerd glam," Lauren Davis' frothy cocktail dress was a "Jackson Pollock cupcake," and Jacquetta Wheeler characterized her red satin number as "sexy Santa." Surveying the scene, Dolce was ready to declare the trip a success. "Look at all the glamour," he said. "Molto bene! I will be very sad to leave tomorrow."
