The Scene: Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez hosted a hot party last night
By Kevin Naulls |
By Kevin Naulls |
Last night in The Room at The Bay, this month’s fete celebrated Proenza Schouler designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez. The Room is almost the perfect environment for a party, with good lighting for photos and lots of room to explore, but like any good party, the best place to hang out is the kitchen, or in The Bay’s case, one very cramped corner, hovering around the title guests. This gave way to sweat-lodge heat that created what one partygoer described as a “distinct fashion B.O.,” but McCollough and Hernandez drank very chilled champagne anyway and toasted an appearance-well-done alongside Suzanne Rogers, Nicholas Mellamphy, Shinan Govani, Stacey Kimmel, Jeremy Laing, Tommy Ton, Kimberley Newport-Mimran, Stephen Wong, Kirk Pickersgill, Susie Sheffman and Liz Cabral. Check out our full scene gallery below.

- We think there's something to be said for arriving at a party in a try-hard wild outfit. But for this party guest, we think subtlety may have been a better choice. We can’t endorse unnecessary finger adornments, Manic Panic dye jobs and whatever that purple thing is she’s wearing. (Image: Jenna Marie Wakani)

why all the snarky comments on the photos?
rude, not clever.
Love the photo captions. It’s about time we take ourselves less seriously.
Yeah, the photo captions are funny. Or they’ll get there with practice. Here’s the thing: the author has to dish it out equally (e.g. SNP, the group at Evan Biddell’s trunk sale) and not just at the easy targets ie. people he doesn’t hang with.
Really? I guess making nasty comments is much easier to be clever with for uneducated freelance writers…you all must be friends with SNP…why does TL have to be such trash? Pathetic. Figures Toronto never gets any mention anywhere because we just cut up our own and there isn’t exactly a new mix of people going to these events…and of course the same junior writers who write for free papers or on twitter.
are the photographer and the caption writer the same person?
the captions are condescending and unnecessarily rude (except brown-nosing to the guests who “matter” — oh, doesn’t susan rogers look divine in rodarte!) ironically, the designers themselves aren’t particularly well-dressed. why not admonish them? toronto life: home of the vacuous and sycophantic. bravo!
that night was fun. cant wait for the next event. kudos to The Bay.
check JERRLIFE.blogspot.com for my coverage of the event.
These two gentlemen were honored for their work and creativity, and Toronto Life sends a Janitor ,,no I’m sorry, that was really inappropriate, A Custodian is an extremely hard working person.. Toronto Life sends a witless dolt who should be at this function as much as I should .. oh wait..,, I know the difference between Versace and a Purple Thing reference to photo 12. I guess all of the blame can’t go directly to this individual,, the Magazine does have editors.. Please this is a fine magazine, check the poor attempts at the door, and write about what is suppose to be written about. .. If at the very least please delete the captions on the photos.. Thanks Dave
That “purple thing” that the woman with “manic panic” dye job is wearing is a VERSACE dress, darling. And the only try-hard thing about that picture is YOUR caption. The least you can do when you don’t know much about your subject is to take one big sip of shut-the-****-up.
Love the some of the captions though yes, they need tuning and I can’t wait to see them get snarkier. I should have forced my date to take me instead of drinking at a sports bar through the event. Could’ve been fun to have been photographed and bashed. You guys take yourselves too seriously.
Congrats Bay. You’re on the way if you can keep profits up.
