Design week is officially here, and the party has officially started. We started things off at the DDC/Elle Décor party to celebrate the opening of DDC’s new showroom. The event was not without colorful characters and art…namely the racy photographs of David LaChapelle. Guests flocked to the event, some fresh from the fever of last-day preparations at the ICFF HQ, the Jacob Javits Center.  Coolly holding court within the crowd was Margaret Russell, Editor-in-Chief of Elle Décor.
