While the circus that is the Cannes Film Festival is still taking place in the South of France, stateside, things are decidedly more low-key but just as whimsical. In preparation of this year’s CFDA Awards—it’s on June 6—Swarovski and the CFDA hosted a lavish fashion carnival at 100 Barclay Street last night to toast the nominees. Getting his fortune read was Gypsy Sport’s Rio Uribe, who was joined by fellow nominees and CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund alums including Aurora James, David Hart, the Orley trio, and countless others. The decor was a dazzling spectacle of the beauty of the crystals themselves—oversize alligator heads, larger-than-life palms, and tarot cards all encrusted in the stones provided a glittering backdrop for Ryan Roche and Eva Zuckerman to pose for pictures, while the giant pinwheel was a hit with everyone from Paul Andrew to the Monse duo of Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. However, with the ceremony only a few weeks away, it appeared that all the nominees were flocking to the crystal-clad tarot card readers to find out who will win.
