...appeared gobsmacked by the presentation. And believe me, it was a jaded crowd. There was Diane Sawyer, Martha Stewart, Dustin Hoffman, Robert DeNiro, Donna Karan, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and ubiquitous billionaire Steve Schwartzman. Was that Police Commissioner Ray Kelly tapping his foot to Frank Sinatra's "The Best Is Yet to Come" as Ralph strolled the runway, taking in the standing ovation and embracing friends and family?
