Friday night kicked off Naomi Campbell's first of two charity runway shows to raise money for Haiti relief efforts.
Everyone from Kelly Osbourne, to Marc Jacob's hubby Lorenzo Martone and Diane von Furstenberg walked the runway for the benefit.
And in a touching tribute to Alexander McQueen, Naomi, Daphne Guinness, Helena Christensen and other models gathered at the end of the runway all wearing his designs.
Can't wait to see who'll come out to walk during London Fashion Week!

Designer Diane von Furstenberg is dishing on her relationship and marriage to the notoriously gay Barry Diller.
She tells Page Six Magazine:
"Barry has loved me unconditionally for 34 years. I did leave him, and I went with other men, but they always ended up being jealous of Barry and not the other way around. At the end, he got me, and I'm happy he got me. He's the pillar of our family."
While he may be the so called "pillar", he doesn't even sleep with Diane!
DVF adds "In New York, we don't sleep together. I like it this way. It's my decision. Eventually, we'll get a place in the city together."
What man wouldn't want to sleep with his wife!? Oh wait, we know the answer to that one.
So now the question is who's the lucky guy Barry's sleeping with???

Some of the fashion industry's biggest names have lent their hand to help the women's organization, Women In Need by putting their designer touch on mini cardboard houses.
The list includes: Justin Timberlake for William Rast, Oscar de la Renta, Isaac Mizrahi, Vera Wang, Diane von Furstenberg and Bobbi Brown.
If you want to snag yourself one of the little houses, the auction you have until November 30th. All the money raised from this event will help Women In Need provide housing for homeless women and their families.
Some of them are so cute and incredibly detailed for such a small project!
Which one do U like???
Or is it the other way around?
This past Tuesday night Valentino decided to throw a small little party to celebrate the DVD release of his documentary The Last Emperor with some of his friends including Hugh Jackman, Adrien Brody, Brian Grazer, Stephen Daldry, Martha Stewart, Marc Jacobs, Thakoon Panichgul, and Diane von Furstenberg.
Oh and we can't forget Madonna!
Madge showed up just after 11pm, where her lover Jesus Luz just so happened to be deejaying.
Hmm, wonder how he got that job?
Madonna even made her way to the dance floor and grinded up on Bravo's Andy Cohen. Everyone eventually followed the Material Girl's lead including Valentino!
Sounds like some party!

Happy News!
Fashion's Night Out will return next year, bringing the fun and festivities to shoppers worldwide once again.
Despite initial reports that the endeavor was "not incredible from a business point of view," as Barneys creative director Simon Doonan put it, the event actually turned out to be quite successful.
"The numbers are in, and it's clear that Fashion's Night Out was a tremendous success," according to Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He goes to say that, "Thousands of New Yorkers attended the events in all five boroughs, supporting the city's retail and fashion industries, and helping a worthwhile cause. It's sure to be an even bigger event in 2010."
According to an independent study conducted by ShopperTrak, in the 700+ stores that stayed open that night, foot traffic increased by 50%. A survey done by marketing and tourism organization, NYC & Co., concluded that 75% of shoppers made at least one purchase that night, two-thirds of consumers visited stores they had never been to before, and 61% left their normal dwellings to explore neighborhoods outside where they work or live.
Prolific designer and CFDA president, Diane von Furstenberg, said: "To have designers in stores to celebrate and start a shopping season is the best idea for everyboyd. It creates excitement and lots of business."
Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who hatched the scheme for FNO, said "We were absolutely bowled over by the response to Fashion's Night Out. It was only 15 minutes after the event began, and we were getting reports about lines around the block at stores throughout the city. It was wonderful to see people embrace this initiative, and we are thrilled that they wish it to return."
Exciting! The second annual Fashion's Night Out event will take place September 9, 2010. Can't wait!
