[[APARICIONES PUBLICAS]] Claire Danes, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Olivia Palermo Attend Zac Posen's 24 Hour Party

[All photos by Will Ragozzino for PMc] What a night for Zac Posen! Claire Danes, Olivia Palermo, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Selma Blair, Ginnifer Goodwin, Michelle Trachtenberg, and a slew of socialites who probably haven't stepped foot in a Target in their lives all attended the Zac Posen for Target 24-Hour shopping party.-

The party, held at 481 8th Avenue (next to the Tick Tock Diner, if that's anyone elses NYC cultural touchstone), had a nostalgic prom-type feel to it. Motown hits were playing, and caterers dressed in Posen's tuxedo body suits were passing out champagne flutes, noise makers, and feathered masks which were snapped up almost as quickly as the navy-blue grommeted dress that seemed to be the most popular item of the night.

Racks of clothes on both levels of the venue were full of the highly anticipated collection: brocade skirts, tuxedo body pants, and the bright pink maxi dress that Claire Danes herself wore to the party, and later to the American Museum of Natural History's Museum Dance.

Guests included Rosson Crow, Sessilee Lopez, Fern Mallis, Coco Rocha, Alek Wek, Patricia Fields, Annabel Vartanian, Kristian Laliberte, Joe Zee, Parker Posey, Kelly Bensimon, and High Society's Malik So Chic, who was unceremoniously escorted OUT of the VIP section.

[[APARICIONES PUBLICAS]] Zac Posen Night's

Sure, there were celebrities somewhere and the Like was about to play, but Thursday's Zac Posen for Target party was all about the clothes. Perched on plush pink carpets in a Herald Square event space, racks of the designer's flirty dresses and ruched, Esther Williams-esque maillots for the mass retailer were being cleaned out, and fast. Pat Cleveland had eyes for the floor-length safety pin print dress, while Daisy de Villeneuve kept a firm grip on a Target-red cropped leather bomber. "I love this," she said. "It's brilliant."

As for the stars, Claire Danes, Selma Blair, Parker Posey, and Maggie Gyllenhaal claimed the pink couch in the crowded VIP section, while Ginnifer Goodwin, Mena Suvari, and Michelle Trachtenberg posed for photos with a beaming—and, due to a lack of AC, somewhat gleaming—Posen. "I wanted this collection to have glamour and energy but still be elegant," the designer said over the strains of the Like. "Whether you're in your kitchen making eggs or going dancing, I wanted it to be accessible. This is the largest distribution Target's ever done," he added. "I feel a lot of responsibility." Alek Wek, in a tie-dye tank dress from the line, volunteered her endorsement. "I love everything Zac does," she said. "He is all about strong women, and he makes you feel good in whatever you're wearing."

Personal Trivia

During high school she went by the name Blair because she hated her first name. She is still not comfortable with her age at the name of 36. She says, "I've always thought of it as an old woman's name, so I demanded that everyone call me Blair. In high school, when people found out my name was Selma, they'd call me things like Smell-ma or Salmonella. That stuff basically came from friends, and I never really had any enemies, so I just kind of smiled through it. "I still don't like my name. It does not fall prettily off the tongue. In fact, it's hideous. My middle name is James, and I like to be called that."
She has been romantically linked to Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore Fame.
In her sparetime, Selma collects black-and-white photography. She also enjoys horseback riding, and loves snow jumping.
Blair's intention for her future was to become a photographer. She had some macabre ideas as to what would make a good shot. She explains, "I didn't have many models I was comfortable asking to pose for me, so I did a lot of self-portraits. "I didn't want them to look as if they were of me, so I made myself up like (artist) Magritte's mother, who drowned herself and was supposedly found with her nightdress wrapped around her head. "I took a bunch of self-portraits in that state and some very macabre, victim-y ones, in which I'd torn off my clothes, found a ditch at the side of the road and jumped in."
Selma has a reputation for becoming every publicist's nightmare by talking about anything and everything during an interview.

# Dawson Creek :: Joey Porter.
Blair and Holmes were battling it out with another young actress for the part - and the Hellboy star was confident she'd land it.
She says, "Holmes got it fair and square... (but) I remember seeing her walk into the (audition) room and thinking, 'She is just the tallest girl. There's no way they'll give it to her. She won't even fit on camera.' Then I ate my words. She was adorable."
