Behind the velvet ropes, Ford Models hosted a party at Rose Bar Friday night to officially kick off the beginning of Fashion Week. Lakshmi Menon took up residence on a couch in the center of the room, while Ford girls including Ariel Meredith, Isabelle Stork, and Charlene Almarves—who just took part in the Ford Supermodel of the World contest—celebrated Fashion Week by playing pool, mingling with bookers, fellow models, and industry insiders. Adorably, the step and repeat turned into a mini photo shoot for girls, who displayed their best poses for the photographers. Sadly, Chanel Iman was missing. She was down in Miami enjoying the warm weather—which we’re all craving here in New York! ~ Bianca Posterli
