Many of the guests at Barneys’ launch of Maje, a capsule collection by stylist Vanessa Traina, go way back with the Traina clan. “We designed Victoria [Traina]’s dress for when she came to New York,” said Proenza Schouler’s Lazaro Hernandez. “She had, like, a debut I guess. It’s not a debutante ball, it was more of a party … she was 17 or 18.” Also in attendance was Alexander Wang, who attended high school with Vanessa in San Francisco, and Joseph Altuzarra, who described Vanessa as his “best friend.” Best friend? “We met in Paris a while ago and we just clicked and became really close.”
