Winky Wink: John Wade and Joey Maalouf, Petit Ermitage West Hollywood

Last night--between all the prepping for my "High Kicking With The Rockettes" FIDM Event, working on my upcoming Nikolaki Spring 2011 Collection, and still unpacking from my Europe work/R&R trip, I found time to venture out to West Hollywood to the very quiet and chic Petit Ermitage Hotel in West Hollywood, to say Ciao to two of the BEST human beings in the world: My VERY GOOD friends John Wade and Joey Maalouf.

Why? Because they are moving to New York City! John and I met--and officially launched what will be a lifelong friendship--when we were both on Season 2 of Project Runway. He is now at Marc Jacobs and has been there for quite a while. And he is moving (sad face).

He's still with Marc Jacobs darling...don't you worry! And Joey Maalouf, the WUNDERKID hair guru and co-owner of Maalouf Salon and Rachel Zoe's hair-and-make-up guy on the hit show, The Rachel Zoe Project is moving along with him.

Everyone from the Marc Jacobs Collection and Marc by Marc Jacobs LA stores were out GIVING fashion! Will Miss You: Magda Berliner, John Wade, Nick Verreos and Joey Maalouf, Petit Ermitage I even said "hello" to L.A. Designer extraordinaire, Madga Berliner who's a great friend of John's and wanted to stop by and say "Bye". It was a bittersweet party since I love them so much and will miss them terribly...but I am happy that they are both making the move! Watch out NYC, the BOYS are comin'!
