"John Varvatos, Nicole Richie, Iman, and Other Celebrities' Classic Fashion Wish Lists\nWhat timeless items will fashion world A-listers be adding to their wardrobes this season\nAt a dinner held in his honor at Corsino, menswear designer Michael Bastian had the City of Light on his mind. \"I really want to go to Charvet in Paris and order a dozen custom shirts,\" Bastian noted, seen here with GQ's Michael Hainey (right) and his wife, Brooke Cundiff. \"They have a million bolts of fabric, and there's a little card attached to each one that lists the name of every client who ordered off that bolt. I went a few years ago and picked one, pulled out the little card, and it said that M. Saint Laurent had pajamas made out of the fabric. [The staff] said, \u2018Yes, but you didn't see that,' and tucked the card back in.\"\nWhile toasting his friend at Corsino, women's wear designer Peter Som hinted that he would like something suited for travel. \"I'd be good with a large piece of Herm\u00E8s luggage, but of course, I might have to take out a second mortgage,\" Som said. Would he feel comfortable allowing an airline to handle a pricey Herm\u00E8s suitcase? \"I don't know. I'd probably just stay home and pet it,\" the designer quipped.\nNigel Barker, photographer and host of the modeling-competition show The Face, was speaking with Bastian when we inquired. \"I love the idea of [working with] a cobbler,\" Barker said. \"Custom shoes cost a fortune, but that is on my bucket list. Church's is one of the best. But I would probably get a classic brown brogue from Barker Shoes . . . just for the name.\"\nThe Est\u00E9e Lauder Companies Group president John Demsey, seen here with Kelly Bensimon, also mentioned that he would like to order custom shoes\u2014a pair by John Lobb, in alligator. When the Inquisitive Guest asked about the purchasing process, Demsey said, \"Ordering them is not the difficult part. It just takes a lot of money.\"\nStylist Lucy Sykes Rellie, who hosted the Bastian dinner along with her husband, Euan, answered, \"I know it's uncool, but I want the full look of the Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking. It's a women's suit, but it's fitted and corseted and you look incredible. I could wear it to a dinner or a ball.\"\nAt the Couture Council luncheon honoring Michael Kors, author Simon Doonan, seated with W editor in chief Stefano Tonchi (left) and philanthropist Yaz Hernandez, also mentioned YSL. \"I'm dying to get a little Yves Saint Laurent, Hedi Slimane quelque chose,\" he replied. \"I want something very insane and noteworthy. I toyed with the oversize mohair leopard-print cardigan, but it came down to my ankles, and I looked like an oven mitt.\"\nDutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes indicated that she was waiting to buy a winter coat. \"I really want to have a good coat,\" she responded. \"I had a beautiful green wool coat from C\u00E9line last year. If I could get a new coat from C\u00E9line or Michael Kors I'd be very happy.\"\n\nKroes at a Vanity Fair Best Dressed List event.\n\"I keep telling my husband I want an Herm\u00E8s Birkin bag,\" model Lily Aldridge told AD. \"I occasionally drop the hint, but I don't think he's taking the bait. I'd like a nice, classic black one.\"\nAt the Couture Council lunch, Iman also had handbags on her mind. \"I'd really like to get a gray Prada bag,\" said Mrs. David Bowie. \"Gray's the trend, and Prada makes great bags.\"\nNicole Richie, host of the 10th Annual Style Awards, told AD, \"Every winter I always look forward to getting a really great coat. This year I have my eye on a white coat by C\u00E9line.\"\nHandsome hockey star Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers looked as if he could be a model. \"Right now I'm pretty happy where I'm at, fashionwise,\" he said. \"But a Tom Ford tuxedo would always work.\"\nJohn Varvatos, who won Menswear Designer of the Year at the Style Awards, told AD, \"I'm lucky enough that this is what I do. So I kind of just design whatever I want.\"\nDesigner Reed Krakoff, who presented Rachel Zoe with the Stylist of the Year award, explained that his wardrobe is now complete. \"The truth is, I wear the same thing every day,\" he said. \"My dream was to not have to think about what to wear ever again. That happened about 15 years ago [when I purchased a lifetime supply of suits]. I have been wearing the same suit ever since.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
