Eve sported her own fashion statement, an anklet alcohol detector. "It comes off on Sept. 8. It will have been 45 days," said the singer, who was ordered to don the accessory after pleading no contest in July to a DUI. "I think I'm going to have it bronzed."

The chaos continued on Madison Avenue as art investors flooded into the Roger Vivier store for a private preview from Christie's and Tom Ford's boutique to celebrate the publication of Marilyn Minter's first-ever book of her works.

While the artist was drowning in accolades and requests to sign the tome — "You know about everything," one guest told her. "Well, I know about sex," Minter shot back — crowds followed Ford from room to room.

As Yvonne Force Villareal, Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn and Amy Sacco sought respite from the crush downstairs, Ford escaped upstairs with his pals Bruce Springsteen and Patty Scialfa. But it was Jeremy Piven's arrival that really got the designer going. "It's my alter ego — my evil twin brother," Ford cried.

Down in SoHo, the mood was more genteel at Glamour's Fashion Gives Back bash. Ginnifer Goodwin arrived on the arm of Peter Som ("We bonded over burgers at Balthazar a few months ago," Som explained); Catalina Sandino Moreno represented Jovovich-Hawk (the pregnant Milla Jovovich was at home on bed rest); Joy Bryant came to party with Erin Fetherston, and Emily Mortimer mingled about wearing Marchesa. And, while the celebs were game to be used as walking billboards, Amanda Peet, supporting her pal Thakoon Panichgul, approached the evening a tad reluctantly. "I say to myself, 'I'm only going to stay for 10 minutes,' and then this happens," she said, sounding a wee bit exasperated by the reporters with recorders and blinding flashbulbs.

Welcome to fashion week.
