Modern
Luxury Houston: Fresh Faces of Fashion
There are plenty of reasons why Modern Luxury’s Fresh Faces of Fashion is one of our
most anticipated events of the year. Being a part of this fashionable and
historical night for the past several years has been nothing short of fabulous.
The Ninth Annual Fresh Faces of Fashion was
held in the evening of June 4th at The Menil Collection. John and
Dominique de Menil were a couple with a strong belief in the spiritual powers
of art. The construction of the Menil Collection was a plan by the pair shortly
before John’s death, to house their art collection in a place that was welcome
to everybody. A decade into her widowhood, Dominique de Menil hired an
architect to design the space that John and her envisioned; as a thank you to
him for opening her eyes and heart to art. The ceremonial ribbon was cut on
June 4, 1987, making Fresh Faces of
Fashion, truly an honorable night; celebrating not only art in all forms,
but The Menil Collection’s 27th anniversary.
Sponsors included Mercedes-Benz
Dealers of Greater Houston, Modern Luxury Houston, The Menil Collection, Swift
+ Company, LG, Tootsies, Estilo Salon and Spa, Deep Eddy Vodka and Page Parkes.
This edition allowed guests to preview the exhibition: A Thin Wall of Air:
Charles James. Charles James is considered by many to be America’s first
couturier. He established himself as a premier fashion designer for an elite
group of clients including John and Dominique de Menil. James even went on to
dress the interior of the Menil home- his only residential commission. He
believed that the true possibilities of design didn’t lie in the human form or
in the material, but in the space between body and fabric, described as “A Thin
Wall of Air”. The exhibition presented a variety of James’ personal collection,
along with furniture that was designed for the Menil home.
Guests in attendance received
the treat of a fashion presentation by Tootsies- one of the event sponsors.
Besides charmingly welcoming attendants to a night of fashion, Linking
Specialists proudly represented Mercedes-Benz- another one of the event
sponsors, and signed guests up to win an exclusive prize package! Our Linking Specialists always dress to
impress at this fun, fashionable evening.
