The Weekender: Style and Grace
at The Waldorf Astoria
Interior designer, Geoffrey Bradfield celebrated the launch of his new book, A 21st Century Palace, at a hotel that is as iconic as the designer himself. It was an evening to remember. Geoffrey’s latest publication is about a Mexican palace, and it is the first in a series of books about some of the marvelous homes that he designed worldwide.

Invited guests were welcomed to an opulent setting where he presided over a 18th century French court where models wore beautiful garbs, and some of the most intricate, and wondrous body paint by make up artists, The Parker Twins. Some of his distinguished guests included Michelle Gerber Klein, Sheikh Abdullah Rahman, Baroness Gabriella von Langendorff, to name a few.

A LIFETIME OF GRACE
…And with elegance, she carried it off! Iris Apfel and Dara Caponigro were together at Sotheby’s this week for an evening of Style and Design. The VERANDA Magazine Editor-in-Chief delved into what is style and how do you carry it off and make it work for you. No one was better suited to answer those questions than the veteran fashion icon Iris Apfel. Her work had and continues to have a major impact in fashion and interior design. Although we only had one hour with the grande dame herself, I felt as if we’ve spent the entire evening with her. There was so much to be said and much more to talk about, and I’m so pleased to have been part of the experience. One of the things that stood out was Iris explaining that it’s alright to grow old gracefully, be different, and create your individual flair without caring too much about what others think. Because at the end of the day, life must go on – with style.
