Audrey Tautou, January Jones, Freida Pinto, Alek Wek, Olga Kurylenko, and Isabel Marant and other celebrities entered the red carpet. During the evening, the collection was presented in a cinematic setting that mixed images, films and models. The live music performance by Grandmaster Melle Mel and Rappers Delight, originally of Sugarhill Gang, lifted the atmosphere of this bohemian style party inspired by the early 90s.

Last night in NYC, Sony and Paper Magazine threw a big bash to celebrate Fashion Week and the world’s lightest 8-inch Notebook, the Sony Vaio Lifestyle PC. The night featured opportunities to meet with Paper Mag’s Fashion Week Bloggers and designers as they reveal their custom window displays. DJ Benajmin Cho provided the music. Our favorite part of the evening was The Sony VAIO Mannequins (see a video of them in action below). They walked around the Sony Style Store posing with the stylish notebooks, sometimes in sync. It was very entertaining to watch and even more hilarious to watch the guest try their hardest to make them laugh. Some succeed, many fail. The Mannequins were dressed by Ralph Pucci.
