My dear friend Mary Jo and editor for Miamisocialholic.com featured Derek Blasberg’s ‘Very Classy’ event that I hosted, alongside Moda Operandi and Vogue Editor Lauren Santo Domingo.
Here’s a snippet of the article 🙂 Enjoy!
The Ridingers Host a Very Classy Affair
Last Wednesday, fashion writer, editor and New York Times bestseller, Derek Blasberg celebrated his book launch, VERY CLASSY: Even More Exceptional Advice for the Extremely Modern Lady, with an affair to match the book’s title, at the stunning estate of JR and Loren Ridinger, aptly named, Casa de Suenos. The trés chic soiree at the Ridingers’ “Dream House” was co-hosted by “extremely modern ladies,” Inés Rivero, Loren Ridinger, Vivian Duenas and Lauren Santo Domingo in conjunction with Moda Operandi, (www.modaoperandi.com) the first online luxury fashion retailer to provide access to complete collections from the world’s top designers immediately following their runway shows.
The handsome and gregarious author chatted and joked with guests and wrote personal dedications on the cover page of his latest work to some of his favorites. Mine reads, “Dearest Mary Jo, stay Classy, like your husband, (it was our 15 year wedding anniversary that night- which may explain the shout-out) Go Miami Socialholic! Love, Derek.” Now you see why we love him…A follow-up to the 2010 New York Times bestseller, CLASSY; VERY CLASSY offers more of Blasberg’s signature wit and timeless advice on how to be an extremely modern young lady. VERY CLASSY promises to become the premier, tailor-made, style, and etiquette guide to address the challenges facing today’s young women (and men).
