>> A bubbly John Patrick zipped around among the crowd gathered in the unlikely presentation space of Keens Steakhouse restaurant — complete with bar at 11 am (not many partook) — chatting up friends, press, and his star mannequin, Shalom Harlow, who was posed away from the group in a mannish tightly-tailored suit and bowtie.
