Fashion Who's Who 2008: The Socials

THE SOCIALS

Like the Dandies, the Socials are also fashion loving paparazzi faves, though these ladies can actually afford to buy the clothes they see parading down the runway from their perch in the front row, as most are well-married and/or gainfully employed. Tinsley Mortimer is probably the most famous of the bunch (for what, we're still not sure). Her partners in sartorial crime, to so speak, include socialite/model Lydia Hearst, Olivia Palermo, Zani Gugelmann, Lauren Davis, Genevieve Jones, Fabiola Beracasa, Olivia Chanctecaille of Chantecaille cosmetics, Eleanor Ylvisaker, PR director/muse of Earnest Sewn, Allison Sarofim, Helen Schifter, Ferebee Bishop Taube, dermatologist Lisa Airan and Jessica Joffe, a writer-turned-Banana Republic model. Collect 'em, trade 'em, share 'em with your friends!
