Celebrate with our young friend Marika Kielland and Independent Curators International on Monday, November 7th for their Annual Fall Benefit honoring Matthew Higgs and John Waters. Co-Chairs Sydie Lansing, Ann & Mel Schaffer, and Jill Brienza have been leading the preparations for this exclusive evening of celebrations in support of ICI. The historic Prince George Ballroom will set the stage for an unforgettable evening crafted and designed by Fête. We were quite literally inspired by the block design in the invitation and put together this fabulous “color-block” ensemble from Net-a-Porter. The dress is a statement piece in itself so we paired it with simple leather-trimmed suede pumps, geometric accessories, and the blue shoulder bag which adds the perfect splash of color…And don’t forget to complete your outfit with this cape to ward off the nights chill.
