THE runway presentation at the futuristic IAC Building on the West Side Highway had gone off without a hitch. The boldface guests had come backstage and said their congratulations \u2014 Rebecca Romijn, Lauren Bush, Kelly Rutherford and Allison Sarofim among them. The news media had done interviews, and the staff was headed to Acme, the new NoHo hot spot.<\/p>\n

After months of preparation,\u00a0Cynthia Rowley<\/a>\u00a0had a moment to breathe. Or so she thought, as she guzzled a mini-bottle of prosecco.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should get over to the party now,\u201d said Bill Powers, her husband, who had been working the event like something between a ringmaster and proud father. \u201cReady?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cO.K.,\u201d Ms. Rowley said. She hugged more guests. Her husband told her about two events the next night for Waris Ahluwalia and Josephine Meckseper. \u201cCan you go?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n

Ms. Rowley, who would be facing 40 buyers from Asia the following day, didn\u2019t blink. \u201cOf course, I can go,\u201d she said as they left the building. \u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/p>\n

You might think, given her very hands-on relationship with two young daughters (who are at her side after each runway show), and multiple TV gigs and design projects, that the answer might be a sharp \u201cNo.\u201d But that isn\u2019t in her vocabulary, nor is it in the vocabulary of her 44-year-old husband, an art dealer, judge on\u00a0Bravo\u2019s \u201cWork of Art,\u201d<\/a>editor, hands-on father and author of a new novella with a sexy cover by Richard Prince.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarhol\u2019s philosophy was \u2018Do everything,\u2019\u00a0\u201d Mr. Powers likes to say. \u201cUs, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two days later at a packed opening at Half Gallery, the small Lower East Side space that Mr. Powers owns with Andy Spade and James Frey, many of the guests didn\u2019t have much to say to Ms. Rowley. She didn\u2019t mind. Like a proud wife, and in towering strappy heels no less, she stayed for the entire opening, enjoying herself in conversations while keeping far out of her husband\u2019s way as he unloaded several sculptures, worked the news media and tossed out cans of Red Bull to friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre we done yet?\u201d he said after the crowd had dissipated.<\/p>\n
