Showhouse extravaganza - New York's finest designers, celebrities and design lovers attended the annual
Holiday House Opening Gala. It was a scene -a major scene. The rooms were beautiful, the gowns and suits were extravagant and the energy was vibrant. Only in New York and only Holiday House would attract the who's who of New York's "Design Society". I've had the pleasure of attending a variety of Showhouse unveilings - this party may have been the Showhouse Gala of the year !!!!!
Ms. Dankner and Mr. Hyland have given New York the "Oscars" of Showhouses. Upstairs - downstairs inside -outside, there was glamour everywhere!! Each of the rooms spawned a holiday theme and were designed/curated by a different design team. Some Designers participated for the first time, like my twin brother, Patrick Hamilton. While other design talents returned for a second or third time, like my spray tan partner, Ally Coulter. There were several open bars with limited options and tasty tray pass appetizers that made the crowded mansion of more than 400 attendees the party event of the season. Thank you Holiday House for the ultra chic event. This Showhouse gets better every year !!
My question for the evening: Who makes your most expensive piece of jewelry?
