EVENINGS IN VOGUE

Saturday, December 5th, 2009 -South Beach, FL - USA
Miami's best events of the year took place during Art Basel, it was a tough decision to figure out which one was the best one, considering that I didn't attend many as I got sick with a flu by Friday.

Holiday season is over and a new decade started, is time to make a decision to keep you posted with the best events around the world and serial entrepreneurs and marketing gurus Loren & JR Ridinger made it easier for me as they hosted a fabulous fete at their waterfront home during Art Basel week and according to reliable sources it was the best by far.

Below is the press release describing the event, and it certainly matches my sources’ description, enjoy!

MIAMI, FL – Loren Ridinger, Senior Vice President of Market America, hosted the hottest and most sought after invitation only event during Art Basel Miami as she welcomed Hollywood celebrities, star athletes, leaders of industry, art enthusiasts and select VIP’s to her Miami Beach home this past Saturday for an exclusive fashion show where Versace previewed their new 2010 spring/summer collection.



Held in conjunction with Vogue and Versace, invited guests at “Evenings in Vogue” were treated to a stunning fashion show that included never before seen pieces from Versace’s newest collection while enjoying the elegance of Loren and JR Ridinger’s Miami Beach estate, Casa De Suenos. Among the invited guests who attended the event were Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Alicia and Mike Piazza, Larsa and Scottie Pippen, Vanessa Williams, Russell Simmons, Cliff Floyd, Tarek Al Fassi, Harry Morton, Prince Salman Al Saud, Michael Michele, Ana Cristina Álvarez, Inga Rubenstein, Johan Lindeberg, Robin Quivers, Ashley Gibb, Therese Gibb and Katrina Campins.


Saturday marked another successful event where Ridinger and Vogue partnered to put on Art Basel’s biggest fashion show. Previously, the two joined forces in 2007 for a poolside runway show at the Ridinger’s Miami Beach mansion where famed designer Alberta Ferretti showcased her spring/summer 2008 collection. “Art Basel is one of my favorite times of the year and I was thrilled to partner with Vogue and Versace to host this amazing event,” said Ridinger. “It was wonderful to once again welcome so many incredible and talented people to our home to view Versace’s gorgeous collection. The response from guests is always so positive when working with Vogue and we are already in discussions about what we will do next as we bring the best shows to America’s sexiest city.”
