While working out details of a fashion show that may take place later this year, Kensei Takeda, along with Dale Young, decided to treat birthday girl Jane Lyman to an intimate, private fashion show for 14 women on March 16, four days after Jane’s 86th birthday.

The “Art of Jewelry” fashion show featured models Tara Chanel, Tania de Jesus and Iwalani Ynigues wearing designer dresses that showcased Kensei’s handmade hats and jewelry. In between segments divided into “Modern,” “Ethnic” and “Classic” pieces, Cheryl Bartlett entertained the group with songs from “Phantom of the Opera” and Disney, as well as one of her own compositions.

Kensei, a hair stylist who works with royals when they’re in town, is a Renaissance man who’s also known for making fabulous meals, though this time, he was too busy for that. So, guests enjoyed pupu from Jon Matsubara of Stage restaurant, along with champagne, cake and ice cream too—what more could a girl want?
