NEW YORK — Forget the front row at Marc Jacobs -- this was the hottest place to be during New York Fashion Week.
On Wednesday night, Gucci pitched an enormous tent on the north lawn of the United Nations and threw a party that felt like the Vanity Fair Oscar bash gone East. The evening, hosted by Madonna, was a benefit for the UNICEF Children's Fund and Raising Malawi, organizations that fight the effects of AIDS on children in Africa. It drew power couples Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, JLo and Marc Anthony, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault, along with Gwyneth Paltrow, Vince Vaughn, Drew Barrymore, Brooke Shields, Gucci creative director Frida Giannini and virtually everyone from the New York fashion scene.
