Fueled by champers, obsessed with splendid jackets, hell-bent on twisted basics---there's a lot to love about the current flock of British designerettes. One to watch is Zoe Jordan, whose Irwin & Jordan line was softly launched in the States last night with a Moet reception at the Carlton Hotel. A bevvy of New Yorkaises (Lesley Schulhof, Annelise Peterson, Cena Jackson, et al.) mingled with recent London transplant Imogen Lloyd Webber---and personal orders were made my most, if not all. "You can just kind of throw it all on, and none of it is outrageously expensive," said Jordan. But the best pieces? Slip-on silk jackets, slightly pleated trousers, and a few peplum jackets, which range from $500 to $700. They're available at Arcade Boutique in Los Angeles.
