New York City’s world of art and fashion come together for the winner of this 2015 Art Ball live auction item. There will be three days during New York Fashion Week of fashion shows, parties and private tours of the museums and studios.
I’m A Style Star! — Art And Fashion In New York City* (Value: Priceless)
Like Brigadoon, New York City for a brief period in September becomes the wonderland of the fashion world — New York Fashion Week. It’s a convening of tomorrow’s fashion trends with the arbitrators of style sitting in judgment. And it’s the perfecto place to serve as the showcase of clothing. Ah, the restaurants, the private homes, the museums!
Now, just think of being part of the true insiders’ crowd from Sunday, September 12, to Wednesday, September 16. That’s what this Art Ball live auction package is, thanks to the DFC (“Dallas Fashion Czar”) Brian Bolke, fashionista Nasiba Hartland-Mackie and Christie’s Capera Ryan. If any Dallasites know what hot’s and not in NYC, this trio does. Why, the Big Apple is like their second home!
The winner will start off on Sunday attending Panichgul Thakoon’s fashion presentation. Afterwards, s/he will head over to designer Lisa Perry’s whimsical “pop-art filled home” with everything from photos of Twiggy to Warhol art.
On Monday there will be two shows to attend —Rosie Assoulin’s dreamy collection and Thom Browne’s always-talked-about production. Afterwards, plan on dinner.
The winner will have just enough time to change clothes for Tuesday’s Kate Mullcavy’s and Laura Mullcavy’s Rodarte and Narciso Rodriguez shows; Brian Bolke will accompany the winner to Narcisco’s after-party. Talk about being with a rock star at a rock star gathering! If such Narciso clients as Sarah Jessica Parker, Claire Danes, Julianna Margulies or Rachel Weisz (Daniel Craig’s wife) show up, remember to act cool when they ask you for a selfie.
In between shows, the winner will be able to see Spencer Finch’s studio plus a private tour of his work in the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum. For an added kick, there will also be an after-hours tour of the new Whitney Museum that opens May 1, 2015, plus much more.
As for where to call home during the NYC stay, it will be the Four Seasons Hotel. Your first-class, round-trip air transportation will be courtesy of Virgin America.
