NY to LA: On Tour with SIMON DOONAN, PATTI HANSEN and “Hung On U”

At the age of 18, l used to gyrate around my bedroom to “Sympathy for the Devil” and fantasize about being on tour with the Stones. This week I came pretty close: I went on tour with Patti Hansen and her “Hung On U” handbags

NEW YORK

This was not your typical fashion party. When Keith Richards is in the room, you know you’re not in Kansas anymore. Apparently Mr. Richards has not attended an event in a store since the ‘70s. We are happy and honored to be the exception to his rule.

LOS ANGELES

I met at least half a dozen people at the party who recalled dancing with Patti at Studio 54 in the late ‘70s. Apparently she did a mean hustle. FYI: Patti’s bags are great for disco, or any kind of dancing for that matter. The one shoulder action means you are totally hands-free. Perfect for those old-school Travolta moves. Ah Ah Hey Hey, let’s all chant…
