It was Sicily in SoHo on October 29, with Dolce & Gabbana underwriting the 19th annual Artwalk NY soirée, benefiting the Coalition for the Homeless.
A transformed Mercer Street space saw a lot of the Italian label's ornate frocks.
The party raised a huge amount of money for the coalition, a particularly resonant cause given the anniversary of a certain superstorm. Mid-evening, Bettina Prentice giddily let on, "You guys, we're almost at a million dollars!"
The star-studded 19th annual Artwalk NY, presented by Dolce & Gabbana and Vogue, drew more than 850 guests!
Guests partied in a 25,000 sq. ft. loft that was decked out in Baroque tapestries and ornate floral arrangements, replete with vignettes of 17th century Italian furniture inspired by Dolce & Gabbana's Fall 2013 collection, grooving to DJ Chelsea Leyland's two-hour set.
Some of the best looks on the red carpet include Casey Fremont, Elettra Widemann, Casey Fremont, Hilary Rhoda, Laure Heriard Dubreuil, Carey Lowell and Coco Rocha, all in DOlce & Gabbana dresses.
