MORE The Eight-Day Week
Fashionistas begin to wish they’d meet a rich husband already so they could quit that demanding market editor job and move to Connecticut to procreate, while designers continue to serve up a stream of lukewarm shmatte, punctuated by high points like Monique Lhuillier’s bridal creations (our therapist would positively forbid this), Betsey Johnson’s whimsical theatrics (your guess is as good as ours!) and men’s wear star Thom Browne’s freakish, Emperor’s-New-Clothes-ish visions, which have lately included trousers for two (men, that is), painted-on black eyes, and skirts! Later, our fastidious Mayor Michael Bloomberg gets a once-over with the lint brush and then skedaddles downtown to a “Notes of Hope” dinner for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, at which he will rub noses with Robert De Niro and the Tribeca Film Festival posse.
[Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, www.mbfashionweek.com for schedule, invite only; “Notes of Hope” Dinner, 55 Wall Street, 6:30 p.m., 212-312-8823]
