(NEW YORK)  Prada hosted a buzzy cocktail bash on Thursday evening for the 12th annual New Yorkers For Children benefit, and scores of UES usuals mingled avec a decidedly downtown crowd, proving that Prada power encompasses the entire island of Manhattan (and then some). The corucopia of couples hosting the soiree were Vanessa and Henry Cornell, Lise and Michael Evans, Kevin and Erika Liles, Julie and Billy Macklowe, Ashley and Jeff McDermott, Euan and Lucy Sykes Rellie, Shirin von Wulffen and Frédéric Fekkai. Attendees, many of whom were bedecked in all stripes of spring 2011 Prada, included Hilary Rhoda, Selita Ebanks, Shala Monroque, Emma Snowdon-Jones, Maggie Norris, Alexa Winner, and Millen Magese. But that's just the tip of the totally chic iceberg: Kimberly Guilfoyle, Jeanine Lobel, Ainsley Earheardt, Gigi Stone, Sara Herbert Galloway, Carol Alt, Alexei Yashin, and Francesco Clark also joined Prada in supporting NYFC. Guests shopped away throughout the store's three floors, and their merry spending and socializing was rewarded with an uber-swanky gift: a petite logoed noir Prada pouchette. Quite the plum goodie to remember the festivities by.
