N, Harlem's new couture boutique at 114 West 116th St (official and New York Magazine), held its star-laced opening party tonight. To watch over a guest list including such fashion dignitaries as supermodel Iman, cops and security guards lined a strip of 116th Street between Adam Clayton Powell and Frederick Douglass Boulevards. Somehow, Harlem Fur got inside.

Whereas the guests sported high end fashion attire accented with chic accessories, I was wearing an American Eagle fleece jacket accented with short, reddish dog hair. If I had known what was going on around the block from me, I would have donned something different, but come on, this is a website about pets, and I was coming back from playing with a dog.

I didn't get to see Iman, but I did talk to one of the security guards inside who told me she is "a nice person, and very beautiful too."

Bonus! Womens Wear Daily, which is not something I normally read, has an article on one of N's designers, Nicole Miller.
