Guests first entered the main room, where the silent auction took place. Champagne and food was passed around, but there were stations containing the offerings from over a dozen sponsors. Acme, David Burke Kitchen, The Odeon, and Indochine were among the restaurants offering bite sized portions of unique and delectable treats. Chopin also had a separate bar where they served vodka cocktails. Vogue was the media partner, and there was even a quirky
Vogue Magazine cover with Anna Wintour completely made of fusible beads by Victor-John Villanueva that was up for auction. Harley Viera-Newton played an eclectic mix of tunes while dressed in a stunning, red Dolce & Gabbana dress. The Italian brand was the title sponsor of the evening, and also provided an autographed Dolce & Gabbana Fashion Album.
