With the beautifully elegant Rachel Roy
RACHEL ROY I hosted a cocktail reception for my dear friend Rachel Roy’s Spring 07 Collection at Saks Fifth Avenue NY. Rachel is such a wonderful wife to Damon Dash and a great mom to her daughter Ava but most of you probably know her wonderful designs. Rachel’s designs are ageless and timeless… Elegant, classy and refined. This is how the modern woman should dress to work as well as play and not in those hoochie crap that is passed as “ghetto fab” because i know ghetto fab looks better than what is sold out there. Rachel’s designs are feminine and fashionable and that is sexy! check out www.rachelroy.com

THE BLACK BALL GALA Nov 9th was our main annual fundraiser, The Black Ball, at the Hammerstein Ballroom and both Alicia Keys and i co-hosted this year. “I can’t wait,” said actress Anne Hathaway, in anticipation of a rare live set by my husband David. “I think he’s so sexy, but i shouldn’t say that too loudly, since I’m sitting at Iman’ table!” Honey, you can say it!! We had one hell of a turn out from Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ( a week before their wedding!” Damon Dash, Rachel Roy, Russell Simmons. Kimora Lee Simmons, Ed Norton, Jeffrey Wright and our MC Wanda Sykes. Rousing performances by Angelique Kidjo, Damian Marley but the highlight of the evening was the duet of Changes of Bowie with Alicia Keys, it brought the house down.
