ON TARGET: At Morton's on Tuesday night, In Style and CFDA hosted a party to celebrate the latest Fashion Targets Breast Cancer T-shirt, as well as the expansion of charity-meets-fashion offerings on Net-a-porter.com. Though their ranks are smaller than in New York, Los Angeles CFDA members such as Magda Berliner, Trina Turk, John Whitledge, Kevan Hall, Gregory Parkinson and Laura and Kate Mulleavy made pit stops during a night of several competing parties. "I've been a proud CFDA member for three years," said Berliner. "Got in the same day as P. Diddy."

JUST SUPER: Having a dozen major models open the Louis Vuitton show earlier this month in nurse outfits created a striking image — so much so that Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs is said to have invited certain runway regulars back to do Vuitton's spring advertising.

A Vuitton spokesman said Wednesday that he could not yet confirm details of the campaign.
SIR PAUL'S MOVIE NIGHT: Sir Paul Smith decided to pull out the stops on Tuesday night, when he got to spend "one whole night in Los Angeles" en route from Japan. "There are so many parties in L.A., I thought Mr. Smith should do something a bit different," the designer said. So the cinephile decided to transform the parking lot of his Melrose Avenue store into a screening room, and introduced the Brit cult hit "Withnail & I," which he has seen five times. Smith has screened the Joy Division documentary "Control" at his Nottingham shop, and the feature "24 Hour Party People" at his Tokyo store. Taking in the movie was a diverse crowd including Andy Warhol actress Terry Terebe, music producer Jerry Leiber, accessories designers Tarina Tarantino and Brigette Romanek, Guinevere Van Seenus and a trio of dark-haired actresses: Michelle Hicks, Ivana Milicevic and Jennifer Tilly, who said, "My old boyfriend was English, so I've seen parts of this movie a few times."
