If not, ‘tis a pity. Not only did their annual gala Monday night at Cipriani 42nd Street attract big names, it also attracted big spenders. The school and foundation have an extra $1.2 million to go about their work of developing good talent who may make a name for themselves like Carolina, Michael and Calvin (http://www.ow.ly/lxTn6)

George Kaufman (Kaufman Organization chariman), Kay Krill (President and CEO ANN INC.) and Stefano Tonchi (W magazine editor-in-chief) were the honored guests.
The trio was introduced by Tony Bennett, Karolina Kurkova and Jessica Chastain, respectively.
