On Tuesday, November 8th AID FOR AIDS International will host the 10th Annual My Hero Gala, celebrating accomplishments over the past year and honoring those who have made great contributions to the battle against HIV and AIDS. Our gorgeous friend Graciela Dauhajre along with her glamorous Co-Chairs, Maria Eugenia Maury Arria and Mari Jose Hidalgo are planning and extra-specially festive event at the cool space on Desbrosses Street, Three Sixty, so named for its spectacular 360 degree views of New York City Skyline. For information and for tickets, please go to Aid for Aids My Hero Gala.
For what to wear to this Festive Dress event and for a night on the town, we went shopping at Bergdorf Goodman for this chicest of downtown style – electric blue knit with a black beaded overlay. It is a fashion statement in itself so we kept the accessories quite demure with black Gucci sandals, while the earrings, bracelet and clutch add a bit of festive glamor. This ensemble would be perfect for a holiday party or an evening wedding. For more evening looks, please go to our Evenings, Weddings, Festive and Formal Collection.
