SUPPER CLUB STYLE
What does one wear to the kick-off party of an exclusive, members-only social club? If you're celebrating the much-anticipated launch of The Supper Club New York, try this:
A white men's shirt cinched with a 3.1 Phillip Lim tuxedo-bow belt; a voluminous miniskirt and dark opaque tights; or a rhinestone-dusted, bias-cut dress that makes everyone see stars -- in a good way. The must-have accessory? A glass of Krug champagne.
Besides summer-like temperatures, there was nothing stuffy about this event. No secret V.I.P. areas, no snooty security guards. Instead, four hundred fashionable revelers (including Nigel Barker, designer Sue Stemp, and multiple Missonis) mingled and munched (no posturing or posing)
while the deejay spun a masterful mix ranging from The Cure to The Crystals. (For the full 411 on the who's who of attendees, check out David Hauslaib's Jossip.com report).
And, this is all thanks to Tamsin Lonsdale (above right, with Kate Schelter (left) and Jennifer Missoni). Lonsdale, British social maven and daughter of denim magnate Tony Lonsdale and 70's supermodel Chekkie Maskell, has turned socializing into a veritable art -- and a lucrative business. She is the mastermind behind the wildly successful Supper Club London, and she's currently planning global expansion. And last night, when she took over Gramercy Park's National Arts Club and graciously greeted every guest (no matter how much they were sweating), she gave New Yorkers a true taste of how to party with style.
Tamsin, welcome to New York!

this was one hot party for sure. I stopped by (love the arts club, brings to mind a batty aunt with too much stuff but can't bear the thought of storage so just piles everything to the rafters) and was amazed how civilized the crowd was for new york--it wasn't too crowded, but the crowd was beautiful--it was too hot but every was smiling while sweating (a nice shiny glow actually). no one in this city puts up with much of anything uncomfortable for long but strangely here everyone was...and in a crowning touch diet red bull and ardbeg at the bar, very eclectic and perfect.
