Ralph Lauren hosts party & book signing in honor of Gloria Vanderbilt

November 5th, 2010 -- 7:27 am ET

Ralph Lauren hosted a party and book signing yesterday evening in honor of Gloria Vanderbilt at his 888 Madison Avenue Women’s store. The occasion celebrated the publication The World of Gloria Vanderbilt by Wendy Goodman with a Foreword by Anderson Cooper.

The book chronicles Gloria Vanderbilt’s life as an heiress, a painter, a muse, a designer, a model, a writer, an entrepreneur, an actor, a socialite, a survivor, an icon. The illustrations include portraits of Vanderbilt and her extraordinary homes, filled with photographs from legends, such as Richard Avedon, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Inge Morath, Horst P. Horst, Francesco Scavullo, and Annie Leibovitz.

Special guests from the evening include Sarah Jessica Parker, Uma Thurman, Camilla Belle, Anderson Cooper, Brian Williams, Kelly Ripa, Marisa Berenson and Kathy Griffin.

A limited edition volume of The World of Gloria Vanderbilt is exclusively available at Ralph Lauren stores and on RalphLauren.com. This numbered edition is presented in a purple linen slip case and features a Toni Frissell print which Vogue published in 1966.

If Anderson looks as good as his Mom does at this age, we'll have one super-sexy grandfather still reporting at CNN! That is, if he opts to adopt children at some point in his relationship.
