An Evening with Versace

Hello dears!

This has been quite the busy fashion season for me... the flashy events and glamorous parties have been non stop! I recently had the pleasure of hosting a Versace Dinner with Christine Chiu and Avril Graham, the Executive Fashion & Beauty Editor of Harper's Bazaar (one of my all time favorite fashion glossies!!). It was a wildly memorable evening.....

We hosted a fashion presentation and a sit down dinner for 50 guests at the glistening Versace store in Beverly Hills. The evening started with flowing bubbly and light conversation, and then Christine and I welcomed our guests and thanked our fellow host as well as the store managers Jessica, Jon, and Stacey. They flew in from NYC so it was a real treat to have them here! It was so much fun being surrounded by my friends and fellow fashionistas, including my dear Asya Gorovets and Anna Itkin.


The fashion presentation was curated by Avril Graham herself, which was very special indeed. She is bursting with fashion expertise and insider details! Some of the fabulous guests included Adrienne Maloof, Cameron Silver of Decades, and a lovely group of BH socialites, glamour girls and Versace devotees. I was so impressed with the new collection, and I have a few highlights for you! The beautifully structured coats, great long couture gowns, and a selection of amazing day dresses. As models slowly walked down the stunning spiral staircase, I instantly thought of the glamorous days of the past and the many legendary Versace shows. These shows featured models who need no last names... Linda, Christy, Naomi. You know who I mean ;-)

The excitement of the late 80's era was upon us once again, but in a more restrained, elegant way!

We sat and chatted with Avril about everything from the Royal Wedding (which she had recently attended) to her favorite trends for spring. After enjoying a delicious dinner, it was time to shop! We bought some really fun items - the new home section had some of the best gift items, including great scented Versace candles for $60 that make for great hostess gifts - and clothes. Elegant champagne flutes and ash trays make for elegant Christmas gifts as well.

It was a night to remember, and I am so thrilled to have been a part of it! Enjoy the photos......... :-)
