There’s more to holiday color than red and green. C.S. Wo and Neiman Marcus’ “Blue Table.”
Without the big change in seasons, we have to rely on other external cues to help us find the holiday spirit when outside, for the most part, it still feels like summer.
With the Red Party now a ghost of Christmases past, the other big party is the C.S. Wo and Neiman Marcus annual “At Home for the Holidays” celebration that took place Saturday night, Nov. 17, showcasing holiday table settings as imagined by N.M.’s visual merchandising team. The table arrangements will continue to be on display during showroom hours at C.S. Wo, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. to Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the 25th, the last day.
Guests on party night were able to enjoy cuisine prepared by students of Windward Community College’s Employment Training Center for Culinary Arts, plus desserts by Kelvin Ro of Diamond Head Market & Grill. Among the desserts were mini red velvet cake cupcakes — OK, CW, I ate not only 1 but 2 cupcakes, but they were tiny … tiny … and moist and delicious … are you happy now?
Models showed a mix of Dolce & Gabbana, Diane Von Furstenberg, Elie Tahari and other designers in gleaming silver.
There was holiday caroling with the children of Diamond Head Theatre’s Shooting Stars, and a mini show of holiday fashion presented by N.M.
Of course everyone needs an excuse to dress up, and dress up they did:
The first couple of fashion in Hawaii, N.M.’s Al Tomonori and Joyce Tomonori.
The always dapper Patrick Gey and Marissa Gey: Since he left Fendi, she has free reign to wear other designers, here, pairing a Gucci dress with a Fendi fur.
Valerie Ragaza-Miao and Joseph Miao were there to “represent” her boutique, Valerie Joseph.
A manikin wore a paper dress created by N.M.’s Doug Jago and fashioned from shopping bags.
