The new CH Carolina Herrera boutique was a bastion of calm in the frenzied storm on Madison Avenue tonight, with the action staying as cool and collected as the grande dame herself, who was looking crisp in her signature white shirt and polished coif. Velvet ropes and bouncers in well-tailored suits ushered revelers into the intimate space, where browsers and buyers enjoyed kir royals and tiny tuna tartar and watched famed illustrator Risko craft custom portraits, both on paper and on special CH tote bags. Mad Men star Christina Hendricks looked radiant in a sunset-orange silk Herrera dress that wouldn&amp;#039;t have been out of place on Joan Holloway.
