As floral jello was disseminated from a white and silver coffin, Kalup Linzy was committing on-stage charactorial murder to the tune of the blues, and the elite attendees were placing bids by the thousands on up and coming art. With co-chairs and hosts ranging from Olivier Theyskens to James Franco to Julianne Moore  the party was sleek, and the streetstyle was near neon-bright. 

While the Chandon  and Belvedere flowed freely at Skylight Soho, I snapped the looks that jumped out of the crowd.
