Vladimir Restoin Roitfeld made his first mark on the art world with a provocative show at Collective Hardware on the Bowery. The fashion scion curated a collection of photographs there by three of his friends, P.C. Valmorbida, Salim Langatta, and David Muchegan. With his model girlfriend Lily Donaldson on his arm, the former Paramount Pictures production assistant greeted guests that had flown in from across the pond for this event and other Fashion Week festivities, including European socialites Dasha Zhukova, Olympia Scarry, and Cécile Winckler.
Inside the crowded gallery space, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos greeted his ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton with a kiss on each cheek. Stavros’s first famous flame, actress Mary-Kate Olsen, also attended the bash, where she mingled with her former boyfriend’s primary wingman, Andy Valmorbida. Stavros, one of Vladimir’s USC film school classmates, is currently working for Arpad Busson at the French financier’s EIM Group of hedge funds.
It reached beyond capacity at the official post-show dinner party at Indochine. Revelers including Amanda Hearst, her childhood best friend Nicky Hilton, and P.C.’s girlfriend, Theodora Richards, danced atop the restaurant’s banquettes into the wee hours of the morning.

Amanda and Byrdie rock. They are adorable!
love the euros. julia, cecile, and dasha are beautiful girls. i think that julia especially looks fab with the smoky makeup. stavros is hot!
ps, isnt cecile winckler one of the ever so lovely charlotte casiraghi’s bffs? so very fresh faced, with a natural beauty and grace.
lily donaldson is GORGEOUS!
J’adore Mlle. Julia… she is wonderful. Paris looks so cute!
Now that Annie is remarried do you think she could drop the Churchill already? People will just cling onto anything.
yes, cécile is charlotte’s friend, sister of felix (her ex). cécile is closer to eugenie now that charlotte and felix are not a couple anymore but they still talk. she is a sweet girl like most belgians.
the american heiress girls (paris, nicky, et amanda) look good. lily donaldson is the prettiest blonde girl, so tall and perfect body, too.
Love Dasha!!
Wait wait wait
Paris, Stavros and MK Olsen were all in the same room and there were no fights??
Hilary and Amada look the best. The guys don’t look good except Stavros and Vladimir.
I, too, love watching the Euros. Julia looks sexy… I love how smudging just a little bit on the eyes has that effect! Dasha is a pretty girl. Most of all, I am surprised at how Paris and Nicky look so… cute. Love Paris’ dress. I guess these are exactly the kind of parties they would attend regularly if they didn’t become mega-famous… this is more their “scene” than hanging out with Britney, Lindsay, and dozens of paparazzi.
