The new H&M 86th Street store was filled with New York fashion folk last night at the unveiling of the 2009 Fashion Against AIDS collection for H&M. New York’s finest fashionista Andre J pranced around in a Roisin Murphy designed FAA bodysuit to tunes spun by DJ Kiss. The ever-so-sweet Estelle showed up wearing a Matthew Williamson for H&M gown. Once inside fans mobbed the “American Boy” singer asking for autographs and photos. Guests enjoyed specialty cocktail from Belvedere. Creative Edge Parties did a FABULOUS job catering!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
