Nina meets Niven! Former Elle fashion editor (and Project Runway star) Nina Garcia puts on a brave face for the kiddies at Project Sunshine’s gala at the Waldorf (worthy of fashionable events such as this only since its recent makeover), featuring an auction by Sotheby’s auctioneer Jamie Niven and a performance by Grey’s Anatomy crooner Ingrid Michaelson, not to mention a possible sighting of Bar Refaeli, the blond Israeli model best known for bonking and being bonked by Leonardo DiCaprio.
