Yesterday I posted a photo of Patricia Field and received an interesting comment from a reader. She said she hated everything that Patricia was wearing but still thought she looked amazing. Part of what makes great style is this ability - to wear what you want and push boundaries of what others find acceptable and do it with such confidence that at best you get people questioning their own concepts of style, and at worst you don't care what others think. There were so many at Kenny Kenny's opening that successfully push these boundaries that I wanted to show a few more today.
Me with Kenny Kenny -love the topknot and eye makeup

Amanda Lepore is an iconic presence in NYC nightlife and always looks amazing. She is like a Barbie Doll come to life and is also extremely warm and unpretentious.

Vanity Society (on left) is a millinery and accessories designer as well as an entertainer and Patrick McDonald (center) is perhaps the most famous Dandy in New York and was recently on reality TV series Launch My Line. Vanity Society looks different but always dramatic every time I see him while Patrick has honed a very specific and sharp look. Two different tacts to create great personal style. (I don't know the lovely lady on the right!) Love or hate these looks, they're truly their own icons and for that I give them the mad props.
