"  Good thing we had a game plan sorted out. As expected, New York City was a madhouse for Friday night&amp;#039;s festivities. It&amp;#039;s hard to remember the last time this town felt quite this packed. It was like New Year&amp;#039;s and Halloween wrapped into one (especially the Halloween part). But we stayed resolute, starting in Midtown and winding our way down, through Opening Ceremony&amp;#039;s Block Party at the Ace Hotel, on to SoHo and then the Bond Street block party with Oak, Rogan, and Billy Reid, who shotgunned a beer with us by the time everything wound down. It was quite a night: We saw lots of friends, a lot of customers, and a whole lot of energy. We took a ton of pictures, filmed a few videos, and had more than a few drinks. Below, some highlights....  Thom Browne was at Bergdorf Goodman signing shirts \u2014 and waiting for his spacemen to arrive. They walked up from lower Manhattan in these suits...   Well, these were the ones in the window, but the actual spacemen did show up later. So did Naomi Campbell and a bunch of models, at Dolce &amp;amp;amp; Gabbana:      Out front of Barneys, we saw the Burkman Bros en route to go play Ping-Pong...  ...and so were Robert Geller and his lovely wife, Ana Beatriz Lerario:  Next to the Ping-Pong table on the Co-Op floor, the talented team from RRL was hand-painting denim shirts:  At Bloomingdale&amp;#039;s, just down the escalator from the perfumers and tie-shuckers of the main floor, was the Boardwalk Empire-themed party, in all of its Prohibition-era decadence...  ...old man hand-rolling cigars included:  If you were looking for something a bit dressier \u2014 but just as personal \u2014 then Ermenegildo Zegna was the place for you: They were monogramming knit ties:  Opening Ceremony&amp;#039;s block party at the Ace Hotel was packed, with a line around the block...  ...and, yes, the Keds lady was inside the table:  They were also jamming to Disco hits at Paul Smith. The DJ says it all...  And the night went on. Click here for video interviews. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
