While waiting for Bailey's audition, an aspiring 18-year-old model named Theodora Dupree emerged from behind a curtain showing her best runway strut. The gal with all-American looks is just 5-ft.-5, but when you're the daughter of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, height isn't so important, I guess. After wowing the Coviello folks, Bailey and Dupree were off to another casting call for Tam. Two casting calls later, I figured out why taxi rides around the Big Apple are so cheap.
*Theodora is using her middle name Dupree (named after her grandfather) instead of Richards for modeling it seems!
Patti Hansen hosted one of the fashion week events and Alexandra Richards walked the cat walk in a Zac Posen red chiffon gown. There is a photo of Patti, Alexandra & Theodora in my news section at a "Knitting" event for fashion week!

As usual, Vera Wang's eveningwear was take-your-breath-away-beautiful, made of delicate, flowing fabrics.

A look from Anna Sui's Fall 2004 collection.
Tanned and nonchalant in her shield sunglasses and cigarette pants, Patti Hansen sat in the front row at Michael Kors, watching the tanned and nonchalant models swing down the runway in shields and ciggie pants.
Once again, Kors hit his mark. The master of jet-set style was inspired by the easy glamour of American idols like Keith Richards and his model wife, and he captured it perfectly.
You could just picture Jade Jagger - who also was in the audience - wearing Kors' slouchy jersey dress belted low on the hips with a floppy hat and shades on the streets of Ibiza. And which member of Rock Royalty wouldn't want to throw on Kors' fluffy lavender mink poncho or hit the hotspots in his lilac paisley fringed halter dress?
"It's my homage to Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson," said the exuberant designer, who works hard but lives the life. "Even when she walks the dog, she KILLS me."
