The fashionable set filled the basement of steakhouse Macelleria for a private dinner honoring the artist David Ellis. Hosted by Theory, the fashion brand comissioned Ellis to complete a weeklong painting performance in their Meatpacking District storefront.
The artist painted for eight hours for eight consecutive days in a replica of an airplane hangar; his manual labor was captured on film and the digital stills were made into a movie. He debuted the work, called “Flyaway,” to the bon chic, bon genre crowd of socialites and models, including Fabiola Beracasa and Theodora Richards.
The ladies feasted upon a candle-lit dinner of mozzarella di bufala, roasted chicken, and a cut of the restaurant’s trademark porterhouse steak. They then walked down Gansevoort St. to Theory’s boutique for cocktails, desserts, and the artist’s premiere of his work. Later, some of the women went to nearby club 1OAK for an evening nightcap.

Fabiola is beautiful!
love lauren bush… classic american beauty. admire theodora’s style… praying that those are extensions because otherwise she has perfect hair. byrdie looks very cute, i dig the suede booties.
HA! I saw that terrible red headband and those stupid tights & shoes in the background of Lauren’s picture and knew just who they belonged to…
If only Arden had fallen out that window. The world would be free of hideous headbands and leggings.
Byrdie is too skinny.
Fabiola looks really pretty.
best outfit: Bell
What a fun group of pictures!
I disagree- I think the best outfit was Alexandra Richards. What a gorgeous girl! Also, Lydia Heart & Michelle T. look really nice.
I think Arden is really cute… headbands, leggings & all. I know, I know.
Theodora, I KNOW we talked about the tights-as-pants thing. If Lindsey Lohan has knocked it off, why can’t you? Yes, you have a nice body. I also can see the imprint of your vag, and its frankly making me uncomfortable.
the Richards are looking stoned? They look like they would like to dive into a bag of Dorito’s. Lydia is looking way too thin.
Why are booties back? They look good with nothing! Byrdie was best dressed for me until I looked below her ankles. Maggie Betts looks great as does Lauren.
Does anyone else think that Lydia and Michelle make an unlikely best friend duo?
Byrdie’s hair color really suits her
