Last night I was invited to an event thrown at the Diane von Furstenberg studio in the Meatpacking District. The event was the Proud to Be Woman CD Release Party -- hosted by DVF herself -- spotlighting singer (and aspiring DJ) Estelle, and Brazilian grafiti artist Panmela Castro-Anarkia. My girl DJ Kiss was also on the one's and two's -- it was a celebratory night all around.
