On September 7, the Harriman Cup took place at the Meadowbrook Polo Club, with the University of Virginia (Nick Barry, Adam Klopp, L.J. Lopez III, and Sam Ramirez, Jr.) defeating Yale University (Liz Brayboy, Sam Clemens, Jim DeAngelis, and Ross Prokopy) with a score of 11 to 8. The event was established in 1984, memorializing W. Averell Harriman, a graduate of Yale University and polo player who became governor of New York and ambassador to Great Britain and the Soviet Union. More than one thousand participated in the revelry—which acts, somewhat, as a precursor to the Far Hills Race Meeting, a.k.a. the Hunt—with the “best dressed” awards going to Kelli Wein and Dean Zacharias. The afterparty, which was adjacent to the field, featured deejay Jason Smith (and a rowdy, rowdy crowd of pastel-wearing partiers).

On September 12, Lehmann Maupin and Roberto Cavalli hosted a dinner in honor of Angel Otero, whose work is being exhibited at the Lehmann Maupin gallery at 540 West 26th Street. The guests, which included Daniele Cavalli, Robin Cavalli, Pippa Cohen, Gherardo Guarducci, and Lauren Remington Platt, gathered at the High Line Room at the Standard for a meal featuring an entrée of grilled spiced crusted lamb loin with fennel, puré, roasted tomato, and braised quinoa. (There was an option of arctic char with pickled zucchini, frisé and mache salad, and Marcona almond sauce but, in my post-Fashion Week state, I was going for the meat.) We lingered over the food and wine in the calm before the storm that was Milan Fashion Week... X
