Last night at Stella McCartney’s pre-fall presentation, held at the Americas Society Park Avenue townhouse, models stood about in color-blocked outfits while artists painted their likenesses on canvases nearby. Hanne Gaby Odiele looked content, lounging on a chaise as her portrait was done. “The shoes are actually a little small for me, so I was really happy to sit down,” she said, sipping Champagne and taking a tiny grilled cheese from a passing tray. Other models, wearing smart glasses from McCartney’s new eyewear collection, played Scrabble beside a candle-filled fireplace. Guest Jeff Koons was charmed by the whole scene, which also included a ceiling full of pink mylar balloons, a piano player, and a Champagne pyramid. “I’m not a fashionista,” said the artist, as editors like Anna Wintour, Cathy Horyn, and Robbie Myers assessed the collection. “But I enjoy fashion.” Meanwhile, the Seinfelds discussed white sneakers, McCartney talked about her OBE, and the Chandlers traded earrings. See more in our slideshow.

Anna Wintour and Stella McCartney So, does your new OBE come with any responsibilities? Oh, I have no idea! No, I think just to be a good person! I’ll have to find out about that. I know my dad [Paul McCartney] got the "key to the city" once, and we’re like, what does that mean? What is the key to a city? Apparently you can bring a flock of sheep through if you want to. So you know, they’re so ancient, these kinds of things. Maybe I can bring my cattle into the center of London. Or a gaggle of geese. I'll look into it. Photo: Theo Wargo/2013 Getty Images

Glenn Close See anything you like here? I love the jumpsuit. It’s really wonderful to see those again. They’re really comfy and if they’re wonderfully designed, it’s just effortless. So we'll see you in a jumpsuit come fall? If I can get my body in shape for a jumpsuit – yes! That’ll be my motivation: a Stella jumpsuit in the fall.  Photo: CLINT SPAULDING/¬© Patrick McMullan

Jerry and Jessica Seinfeld Your wife helps you get dressed? Jerry: Just as long as my wife is okay, then I don't care what anybody else thinks. I go, 'What do you think of this?' And then I just watch the face. A wife's face for a husband is like a dashboard of a car. I know all the dials. I know when I'm getting into the red zone. Photo: Theo Wargo/2013 Getty Images

Rachel Feinstein and Jeff Koons What do you wear when you're working? I tend to wear jeans. And also sneakers because I have concrete floors in the studio. I usually have a tee shirt with a sweater. But if I go out, generally I wear a suit and a tie. What kind of jeans do you wear? My wife buys a lot of the clothes for me. I think that the last group – [turns to his wife] hey, Justine – what's the type of jeans you bought for me? Oh, Sevens. Yeah. Photo: CLINT SPAULDING/¬© Patrick McMullan

Kimberly Chandler See anything you'll definitely buy? I can feel the money draining out of my pocketbook now. Does Tyson [Chandler, her husband] ever shop for you? He used to pick out a lot of clothing for me, but now he’s like my bag shopper. He always blesses me, like during the holidays, with beautiful bags. More so than picking things out for me, we shop together. Photo: CLINT SPAULDING/¬© Patrick McMullan

Tyson Chandler Your wife was saying you buy her bags – why bags? It’s more difficult to pick out an outfit because she has very particular taste. But bags are fairly easy. Are you guys wearing matching earrings right now? No, she stole mine. Is she wearing them? [He looks over at her, chatting with a friend.] Those are my earrings. She likes to "borrow" them and then leave them in her jewelry box.  Photo: CLINT SPAULDING/Patrick McMullan
