THE BIRD CAGE: On Friday evening, designer Erin Fetherston,
accompanied by Satine’s Jeannie Lee and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’
stylist Jeanne Yang, hosted a screening of the short film “A Dreamy
Wander,” directed by Ellen von Unwerth, inside the aviary-like Villa
nightclub in West Hollywood. In the eight-minute movie, actress Zooey
Deschanel, clad in Fetherston’s fall collection, portrays a runaway
orphan in an enchanted forest who nibbles on some magic mushroom with
hallucinatory results. Deschanel, who was shooting a feature in New
York, didn’t attend the soiree, but fellow actresses Rosario Dawson,
Leelee Sobieski and Angie Harmon came out to toast the 26-year-old New
York-based designer. “She is a lovely human being,” gushed Dawson,
wearing a short shimmering white Fetherston number, adding that she
and Fetherston had initially met at a charity event. Fetherston
confessed she caught the filmmaking bug after her first collaboration
with von Unwerth on the short “Wendybird,” starring Kirsten Dunst, in
2005. “I intend to make more,” she said. (Source: Women’s Wear Daily)
