Pratt Institute

THE PARTY Models took to the catwalk wearing designs created by 17 Pratt Institute seniors; one lucky student walked out with $25,000 to develop a Fashion Week collection. The benefit honored New York Fashion Week founder Fern Mallis with a Lifetime Achievement Award. THE PLAYERS Calvin Klein presented Mallis with her award, which she toasted with a bottle of Corona. Guests included Karolina Kurkova, Vikram Chatwal and Pratt president Tom Schutte with after-party festivities taking place at PH-D, the rooftop lounge at the Dream Downtown. The post-fashion show cocktail hour doubled as a benefit to help raise funds for student scholarships and the fashion design program. Photos by Patrick McMullan
