On the Circuit: Bulgari @ IAC

DBTH pulled double duty last night, also hitting the party for their Diagono men's watch collection at the Frank Gehry-designed IAC building on the West Side Highway. This party was our kind of party from the get-go. Well organized door. DBTH on the VIP- standard. Black rubber Livestrong-style Bulgari wristbands for the VIP bar and watch trying-on station. Open top-shelf bar. Not just any top-shelf bar, but Goose, Chopin and Belvedere on tap (and the house champagne was Veuve).
Despite the criticism, the building is amazing. Also in attendance were some little birdies we would have liked to talk to- Amy Sacco (what's up with Bungalow London? Hard Rock Vegas?), Alessandra Balazs (DBTH corporate rates at your dad's new Standard Hotel in Meatpacking?). You know where to find us. The evening wouldn't have been complete without the always obligatory Kristian Laliberte sighting, this time in creepy black slippers that threw us for a loop. Thanks to Bulgari, Syndicate, and of course, Big Barry Diller for a great time.

Glad to see you have been out and about DBTH.
Fabulous write-up about the party. Interesting you would mention Mr. Laliberte attending the launch. Kristian Laliberte was at the new Bulgari Diaogono launch because Bulgari's new US rep. wants him as the face for "Bulgari Men", the new ad campaign that will feature Bulgari's new men's accessory lines. Check out the Bulgari website and all the new belts and bags. Laliberte's face will be all over Men's Vogue, Vanity Fair and GQ advertising them if the rep. has her way. Bulgari is competeing with Cartier and LVMH for more than jewels, watches and handbags. It's their time for men's accessories too. Let's see...I think it will be an amazing campaign with Kristian as the face of BVLGARI.
