"\"Plaid boxer shorts. Always.\" That's what designer &lt;strong&gt;Thakoon&lt;/strong&gt; prefers to cook in at home, he told us last night, at our dinner party celebrating &lt;a href=\"http://www.vogue.com/fashion-week/spring-2014-rtw/thakoon/runway/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;his Spring 2014 show at New York Fashion Week&lt;/a&gt;. We filled the three-level space at &lt;a href=\"http://havenskitchen.com/\" target=\"new\"&gt;Haven's Kitchen&lt;/a&gt; with members of the fashion (&lt;strong&gt;Christina Ricci&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;a href=\"https://twitter.com/ElettraW\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Elettra Wiedemann&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lynn Yaeger&lt;/strong&gt;) and food sets, as well as pungent, garlicky scents flowing from &lt;a href=\"http://missionchinesefood.com/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;Mission Chinese Food &lt;/a&gt;chef &lt;strong&gt;Danny Bowien&lt;/strong&gt;'s kitchen. (The dish of the night: chilled egg noodles with ginger scallion sauce, cucumber, and charred eel.)\r\n\r\nBut back to Thakoon. What he likes to cook when he's in those boxer shorts: Thai food, mainly. What's always in his fridge: Chobani yogurt, red cabbage, and Sancerre. We asked the same question of Bowien and found that it's a rotating cast of clean, simple ingredients\u2014broth, chicken, greens\u2014because he cooks for his pregnant wife almost every night. (Aw.) And for &lt;a href=\"http://www.aerin.com/\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;AERIN&lt;/a&gt; founder &lt;strong&gt;Aerin Lauder&lt;/strong&gt;, who never cooks with a recipe, it's eggs, eggs, eggs. Also: she likes to grill in white jeans, &lt;a href=\"http://www.gq.com/style/blogs/the-gq-eye/2010/02/wait-til-memorial-day-fck-that.html\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;just like someone else we know&lt;/a&gt;.\r\n\r\nOn to the slide show! Click through the photos to see more from last night's very tasty party. Now that's a lucky editor in chief: &lt;strong&gt;Adam Rapoport&lt;/strong&gt; with actresses\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;Jessica Joffe&lt;/strong&gt; (left) and\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;Margarita Levieva&lt;/strong&gt; Mission Chinese Food chef &lt;strong&gt;Danny Bowien&lt;/strong&gt;, ready to rock &lt;strong&gt;Christina Ricci&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Thakoon&lt;/strong&gt; celebrate the end of his show and the beginning of our feast &lt;strong&gt;Lauren Dupont&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Aerin Lauder&lt;/strong&gt; talking about casseroles (seriously!) &lt;p&gt;Bowien plates Cherrystone clams with nori vinaigrette and green apple&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The third floor of Haven's Kitchen, looking quite romantic&lt;/p&gt; Tucker designer\u00A0&lt;strong&gt;Gaby Basora&lt;/strong&gt; makes her way to the dining room &lt;p&gt;Bowien's crew plates steamed egg and corn custard&lt;/p&gt; NBA star &lt;strong&gt;Russell Westbrook&lt;/strong&gt;, bringing it with the leather shorts Designer and actor &lt;strong&gt;Waris Ahluwalia&lt;/strong&gt; and friend listen to Rapoport's welcome speech Spot prawn sashimi with country ham and sweetbreads No one beats &lt;em&gt;Vogue&lt;/em&gt;'s &lt;strong&gt;Lynn Yaeger&lt;/strong&gt; Except maybe model &lt;strong&gt;Elettra Wiedemann&lt;/strong&gt;'s new haircut?
