An Amy Spindler Farewell

Sunday night most people will be watching Carmela's father's birthday party on The Soprano's, or Helen Mirren's suspenseful Prime Suspect 6 on Masterpiece Theater, but the TiVo players of the city's power players in the Fashion Industry will be on, just as the apricot-bronze sun goes rose, setting, they will be out in rememberance of Amy Spindler, former fashion critic of the New York Times and style editor of its magazines and fashion supplements, who died, far too soon, of brain cancer on February 27th, at 40.

Fashionweekdaily's Merle Ginsberg writes:

"Amy Spindler, one of the fashion world�s most beloved people and revered writers, will be eulogized this Sunday night in New York at the Rainbow Room. Her friends and co-workers from the New York Times Magazine have organized a memorial for the 40-year-old journalist, who died this past February after a long struggle with cancer.

"Ingrid Sischy will host the event and play emcee, and the speakers among the four hundred expected guests (the event is PRIVATE) will be New York Times Magazine style creative director Elizabeth Stewart (Amy�s best friend, co-worker, and whom Amy introduced to her husband Rob Bragin), Tom Ford, the New York Times Magazine�s Andy Port, writer Peter McQuaid, Diane von Furstenberg(Spindler helped write her latest book), and InStyle�s Hal Rubenstein."

Also attending will be Donatella Versace, Anna Wintour,, Donna Karan, KCD�s Ed Fillipowski, Evelyn and Leonard Lauder, Helmut Lang and Sandy Brant, many of whom, according to Merle Ginsberg of Fashionwire, will "help pick up the tab."
