Lunch is served at Neiman Marcus.
Neiman Marcus hosted a Giorgio Armani Spring 2008 fashion show Feb. 29 to benefit The Contemporary Museum.
They did a lot of shuffling to clear floor space for the event, which also featured a lunch served with precision by dozens of waiters who entered the room single file, carrying two plates per person, presented in sync. On the menu was olive bruschetta topped with greens and grilled shrimp panzanella salad. Dessert was a Meyer lemon white chocolate tiramisu with seasonal berries.
The Armani collection was polished and understated, with tailored jackets in varying lengths for women who appreciate classic style. Muted neutrals were shown with an occasional splash of bright red and green, and navy blue. You can see part of the show on the video:

After the event, guests walked over to the Armani boutique area to get a closeup view of the designs.
There were many artists in the house, as well as patrons of the arts. I was seated next to Balcony Gallery’s Jodi Endicott, who is beginning to show work from the Kailua gallery at a special Salon event during First Fridays on Nuuanu Avenue. Check it out from 5 to 9 p.m. March 7 at the Hawaii Times Building, 928 Nu’uanu Ave. Great news for those too lazy to make the short trip over the Pali to Kailua.
WOAH fancy!
