"John Varvatos, Nicole Richie, Iman, and Other Celebrities&amp;#39; Classic Fashion Wish Lists\nWhat timeless items will fashion world A-listers be adding to their wardrobes this season\nAt a dinner held in his honor at Corsino, menswear designer Michael Bastian had the City of Light on his mind. \u201CI really want to go to Charvet in Paris and order a dozen custom shirts,\u201D Bastian noted, seen here with GQ\u2019s Michael Hainey (right) and his wife, Brooke Cundiff. \u201CThey have a million bolts of fabric, and there\u2019s a little card attached to each one that lists the name of every client who ordered off that bolt. I went a few years ago and picked one, pulled out the little card, and it said that M. Saint Laurent had pajamas made out of the fabric. [The staff] said, \u2018Yes, but you didn\u2019t see that,\u2019 and tucked the card back in.\u201D\nWhile toasting his friend at Corsino, women\u2019s wear designer Peter Som hinted that he would like something suited for travel. \u201CI\u2019d be good with a large piece of Herm\u00E8s luggage, but of course, I might have to take out a second mortgage,\u201D Som said. Would he feel comfortable allowing an airline to handle a pricey Herm\u00E8s suitcase? \u201CI don\u2019t know. I\u2019d probably just stay home and pet it,\u201D the designer quipped.\nNigel Barker, photographer and host of the modeling-competition show The Face, was speaking with Bastian when we inquired. \u201CI love the idea of [working with] a cobbler,\u201D Barker said. \u201CCustom shoes cost a fortune, but that is on my bucket list. Church\u2019s is one of the best. But I would probably get a classic brown brogue from Barker Shoes . . . just for the name.\u201D\nThe Est\u00E9e Lauder Companies Group president John Demsey, seen here with Kelly Bensimon, also mentioned that he would like to order custom shoes\u2014a pair by John Lobb, in alligator. When the Inquisitive Guest asked about the purchasing process, Demsey said, \u201COrdering them is not the difficult part. It just takes a lot of money.\u201D\nStylist Lucy Sykes Rellie, who hosted the Bastian dinner along with her husband, Euan, answered, \u201CI know it\u2019s uncool, but I want the full look of the Yves Saint Laurent Le Smoking. It\u2019s a women\u2019s suit, but it\u2019s fitted and corseted and you look incredible. I could wear it to a dinner or a ball.\u201D\nAt the Couture Council luncheon honoring Michael Kors, author Simon Doonan, seated with W editor in chief Stefano Tonchi (left) and philanthropist Yaz Hernandez, also mentioned YSL. \u201CI\u2019m dying to get a little Yves Saint Laurent, Hedi Slimane quelque chose,\u201D he replied. \u201CI want something very insane and noteworthy. I toyed with the oversize mohair leopard-print cardigan, but it came down to my ankles, and I looked like an oven mitt.\u201D\nDutch supermodel Doutzen Kroes indicated that she was waiting to buy a winter coat. \u201CI really want to have a good coat,\u201D she responded. \u201CI had a beautiful green wool coat from C\u00E9line last year. If I could get a new coat from C\u00E9line or Michael Kors I\u2019d be very happy.\u201D\\n\\nKroes at a Vanity Fair Best Dressed List event.\n\u201CI keep telling my husband I want an Herm\u00E8s Birkin bag,\u201D model Lily Aldridge told AD. \u201CI occasionally drop the hint, but I don\u2019t think he\u2019s taking the bait. I\u2019d like a nice, classic black one.\u201D\nAt the Couture Council lunch, Iman also had handbags on her mind. \u201CI\u2019d really like to get a gray Prada bag,\u201D said Mrs. David Bowie. \u201CGray\u2019s the trend, and Prada makes great bags.\u201D\nNicole Richie, host of the 10th Annual Style Awards, told AD, \u201CEvery winter I always look forward to getting a really great coat. This year I have my eye on a white coat by C\u00E9line.\u201D\nHandsome hockey star Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers looked as if he could be a model. \u201CRight now I\u2019m pretty happy where I\u2019m at, fashionwise,\u201D he said. \u201CBut a Tom Ford tuxedo would always work.\u201D\nJohn Varvatos, who won Menswear Designer of the Year at the Style Awards, told AD, \u201CI\u2019m lucky enough that this is what I do. So I kind of just design whatever I want.\u201D\nDesigner Reed Krakoff, who presented Rachel Zoe with the Stylist of the Year award, explained that his wardrobe is now complete. \u201CThe truth is, I wear the same thing every day,\u201D he said. \u201CMy dream was to not have to think about what to wear ever again. That happened about 15 years ago [when I purchased a lifetime supply of suits]. I have been wearing the same suit ever since.\u201D"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
