If you ever wanted to get to know jewelry designer Alexis Bittar then today’s your lucky day. This Saturday was the Alexis Bittar trunk show I had mentioned last week and we had a nice little convo where I learned more about his fine jewelry collection, how he balances being CEO and Creative Director of his business (now something Burberry’s Christopher Bailey is juggling) and his favorite thing about Chicago (hint: it’s NOT the weather).
Alexis Bittar has been looking FINE lately, and it’s not just the designer’s pretty face I’m talking about.
One of my favorite jewelry designers Alexis Bittar is having a Fall 2012 preview party at the Bucktown location this Saturday, July 14. From 2-4pm guests are invited to sip champagne (just what everyone needs on a Saturday afternoon), enjoy treats and be the first to check out the latest from Alexis Bittar’s Fall ’12 collection.
Friday night I attended the Crash The Gala After Party, hosted by Ikram Goldman, which celebrated the Roy Lichtenstein exhibition at the Art Institute.
From the food and decor to the music and company, I couldn’t have asked for a better night! Ikram had a make-your-own sundae bar (2 to be exact), hot dog stands, popcorn machines, pizza pass-arounds, and so much more. She even took on the roll of MC for the night (which was beyond amazing by the way). Take a look at some of my photos from the party…
