Valentino

“I want the most glamorous party ever held in New York,” said Italian fashion legend Valentino. So we were hired to help celebrate thirty years of design brilliance with a New York gala to end all galas - An evening honoring Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Placido Domingo, Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler, Bruce Willis, Jacqueline Onassis, Princess Diana and a cast of hundreds. Where? The New York Armory. How? By transforming the Armory into an Italian piazza with churches, cobblestones, bell towers and fountains. Built in Rome, the entire “village” was shipped to New York and reassembled in a space that normally stores military tanks & jeeps. Bellissimo!
