Narcisco’s collection for the auction site eBay will be launching on February 15th. The looks are simple, yet chic. The best piece is definitely the dress on the end with the red color block. The others we’ve seen before and unfortunately, aren’t impressive. Hopefully, eBay steps up their game next time around and actually forces their contributing designers to design and not just give us a rehashing of things we’ve seen a million times before.

Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Stella McCartney are just a few of the designers tapped by Barneys to give peace a chance. Each one has designed a one of a kind dress for retailer to be on display for their Have A Hippie Holiday windows.

The dresses go on display on Sunday. Ralph Lauren, Martin Margiela, Isabela Toledo, and Narcisco Rodriquez will also join the mix.

When we first received the invite to the attend THE hispanic philanthropic event of the season, I was livid. The thought of being in the same room as some of the most well known spanish designers had my head spinning. We prepped days before, getting ready for the black tie event. Becks picked up a full length, navel revealing dress that made her look red carpet ready. I polished me shoesies and donned a black suit and gunmetal tie. The event called for full length gloves and a tiara, keeping in line with the Quinceanera theme, which we couldn’t seem to find anywhere.

Unsure as to what role press has at black tie events such as this, we were a bit confused when we spotted dozens of tables prepared for dinner. We quickly learned that our press invite was limited to cocktails. We downed a couple Cuba Libres and after the room started getting fuzzy we began critiquing guests. One woman wore a horrendous orange poopsicle dress, which made her stand out like a sore anus. Another dude thought it would be cute to put on one of the tiaras that were being passed around by white jacketed wait staff. It wasn’t.

Maria Cornejo with Narcisco Rodriquez

Becks pointed our Maria Cornejo, who she had worked with during her past fashion week show at her soon to be opened retail shop in NoHo. Maria was rocking one of her classic designs and was chatting away with Narcisco Rodriquez. I spotted Simon Doonan in some ridiculous get up which included a shirt with tiny bugs on it. He said something about how when he’s in Latin countries he’s attacked by bugs hence the shirt. It was only funny to the tiny queen.

Guests were being seated for dinner so we decided to sneak out and get some of our own grub. We headed to Havana Central (being in the Latin mood) and Becks downed two plates of platanos in record speed. A live band played classic samba as we rocked back and forth.

After, we decided to head back to Cipriani to enjoy the third part of the night, the live band. We snuck back into the party and hit the dance floor. We finished the night salsa and merengieing with Isabel and Ruben Toledo (who I had to Wiki to get who they were), upon which hearing my very hispanical parents deemed me the second coming of Christ.  More photos below.

Dance bitches!!!
