>> INSIDER WIRE —Vogue accessories editor Sylvana Soto-Ward has been doing a little event planning of the personal kind — she's getting married in Portland in August — and Anna Wintour must have liked what she saw.  Soto-Ward, who has acted as ambassador for the magazine in a number of its online red carpet videos, just got promoted to be the magazine's director of special events, with the Costume Institute Gala among her new responsibilities.  So the question becomes: How will she handle the gala with all the slashed budgets for next year?
