At last night’s screening of Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf Goodman, hosted by Swarovski and the Cinema Society at Florence Gould Hall, guests discussed one of the Cut’s very favorite activities: drunk shopping. “I’ve done that once, and it was very costly,” confessed Vera Wang, who learned her lesson after a few too many at the Yves Saint Laurent store. Dennis Basso, on the other hand, stays disciplined: “I don’t drink and shop,” he said. “I’m focused. I want to hurry up and shop to be able to go to lunch.” Click ahead for more pictures of fashionable people and tales of tipsy purchases in our slideshow.

I’ve only done that once, and it was very costly. I remember it was at Yves Saint Laurent on 57th. What did you buy? Um, a lot. I’ll just leave you with that. Maybe three coats, four dresses, I don’t remember. It all went by in a blur. Drinking and shopping is a rough combination. Dangerous! Photo: Nicholas Hunt/patrickmcmullan.com

Amy Sacco and Michele Hicks Do you ever drink and shop? Is there any other way? People don’t drink and shop? I drink and shop online. Any great drinking purchases? I don’t usually purchase anything hammered. But my last one was a fantabulous pair of ankle boots that I bought at a "Sunday brunch" [air quotes] at Armani uptown. We had mimosas. Photo: Nicholas Hunt/patrickmcmullan.com

Delphine Krakoff, Reed Krakoff Do you ever drink and shop? R: I used to when I was young. D: Maybe you should! Maybe you’d get some good things! R: Alright, I’m going to try it. You gave me a good idea.  Photo: Nicholas Hunt/patrickmcmullan.com

Online, yes. I always go to Amazon. I've been collecting old books and records a lot lately. So that's what you buy while tipsy? Books and records? Pretty much. I recently bought a whole bunch of gardening books because I’ve really been into that recently. I was like, “Oh! There’s one about grasses. Oh, there’s one about meadows!”  Photo: Jimi Celeste/patrickmcmullan.com
