Each new year brings new beginnings, and Vogue kicked off the season last night with a cocktail party to officially welcome Social Editor Chloe Malle, and Style Editor at Large Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis to the magazine. Vogue’s Meredith Melling Burke, Sylvana Ward Durrett, Mark Holgate, and Virginia Smith invited guests to join them for celebratory drinks in honor of their newest fellow editors at the recently reopened Acme Restaurant. Guests Joseph Altuzarra, Lauren Santo Domingo, Seth Meyers and his girlfriend, Alexi Ashe, made their way to the Great Jones Street hotspot where they mingled and sipped on the bar’s signature cocktails, coyly named “Hotpants” and “Foxy Brown.” Malle, who stood out in a white feathered dress from Prabal Gurung’s spring 2012 collection, held court with a flock of friends by one of the leather booths. “She looks so beautiful, and not just because she’s wearing my dress!” exclaimed Gurung, who was thrilled to see Malle bring his design to life. Meanwhile, von Thurn und Taxis made her entrance at the other end of the restaurant wearing a Louis Vuitton frock, which she personalized with a chic fur coat, layered vintage Chanel necklaces, a Miu Miu bag, and studded pumps. “It’s like your Sweet Sixteen!” exclaimed Zac Posen as he greeted her with a warm hug. Turning to another guest, the designer added: “I’m so happy for her new position. And so pleased that she is able to express her artistic intellect and her historical flair!
