Without question, Neiman Marcus was the It! place to be for Fashion’s Night Out in Palm Beach on Friday, Sept. 10. More than 500 of the island’s beloved fashionistas flocked to the Worth Avenue store as part of VOGUE magazine’s nationwide fashion industry celebration.

Beth Pine, Vice President and General Manager of Neiman Marcus Palm Beach, was on hand to dish on the season’s hottest trends, noting fur, feathers, structured handbags, pantsuits, military chic and hues of green are a few must-haves for fall.

“Fashion’s Night Out was celebrated at the most glamorous locations around the world, officially marking the start of Fall fashion season,” said Pine. “It was such an honor to host the biggest event in town. Palm Beach was ready to party!”

A focal point of the evening was a live demonstration a la “Project Runway,” when three celebrity It! Boys selected by It! Weddings & Events for their creative vision showcased their interpretations of the latest fall trends using live models and raw materials like bubble wrap, butcher block paper, doilies and feathers. Wedding and event designer Jeff Fowler, artist and Center for Creative Education Assistant Director Kevin Murray, and interior designer Reginald Dunlap of Gray Perez Design Group had the crowd cheering and begging for more as they added the finishing touches to their inventive ensembles, respectively titled “Road Warrior,” “Rock & Lace,” and “The Bubble.”

Also selected by It! Weddings & Events, four celebrity It! Girls brought fashion trends to the table with glamorous fall tabletop designs. Neiman Marcus Palm Beach donated $250 toward the organizations represented by It! Girls Angela Culveyhouse, auction chair of the 2011 Heart Ball to benefit American Heart Association on Feb. 14; Aime Dunstan, chair of the “Feather Wars” opening exhibition to benefit the Pat and Richard Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum and Historical Society of Palm Beach County on Nov. 30; Hilary Jordan, Ladies Committee co-chair of Devil’s Night to benefit Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens on Oct. 20; and Diana Perry, chair of Over the Big Top to benefit Center for Creative Education on Nov. 6.

The evening also included a live runway presentation featuring the latest in ready-to-wear and couture, as well as cuisine by Pistache French Bistro, Michelle Bernstein’s at The Omphoy Ocean Resort and Christafaro’s Catering. It! Weddings & Events served up verdant candies from two designer dessert bars, and The Sugar Monkey turned out more than 500 customized cupcakes from the It! Cupcake Bar.

Guests joined in a live fashion shoot in the CaptureSET pop-up studio while music by Elan Artists and DJ Nick Flash kept up the tempo. Echo mixologist Charles Steadman poured signature cocktails including Blue Feather Vodka, and Bulletproof Wine & Spirits offered a white wine tasting to round out the evening’s menu of events.

Palm Beach, FL (June 6, 2010) — The It! Girls were the talk of the town this spring, when the island’s hautest tastemakers gathered for a casual vernissage of the “Table It!” tabletop décor exhibition at Neiman Marcus Palm Beach. For the five-day event, Neiman Marcus invited It! Weddings & Events to design six themed tables inspired by events of their creation, such as a Bridesmaids’ High Tea, Brunch in the Garden and an Estate Rehearsal Dinner.

Nearly 100 guests attended the opening-day soiree, including Kathryn Vecellio, Julie Rudolph, Annie Falk, Brewer Schoeller, Elisabeth Munder, Terri Mersentes, Angela Culveyhouse, Beckie Stoddard and Kathryn Martin. The fresh mix of traditional and modern pieces chosen by the It! Girls from the store’s Gift Galleries was complimented by florals by Design Studio at The Breakers, paper goods by Stationer on Sunrise and confections by The Sugar Monkey.

“Our clients are well versed in tabletop design, yet they’re always looking for ways to wow their guests, many of whom have been wined and dined by the world’s foremost entertainers,” said It! Weddings & Events managing partner Aime Dunstan. “We have a ball taking their creativity to the next level, mixing traditional pieces with fun and funky accessories.”

Dunstan commissioned an aquatic centerpiece from Design Studio at The Breakers, complete with live goldfish and sculptural pincushion protea blooms, for the “Seaside Wedding Reception” table, which also included “Elysee” dinnerware by Bernardaud and Juliska stemware.

At the center of the grand display was a “Timeless Wedding Reception” themed table, on which Kim Seybert linen napkins and pagoda-inspired napkin ring holders accented J.L. Coquet’s “Hemisphere” charger, “J Chew” dinnerware by Limoges and Reidel crystal. An organic arrangement of pale pink cherry blossoms added height and volume.

The opening day afternoon soiree also included light bites by Café Boulud Palm Beach and wines by Bulletproof Wines & Spirits, as well as makeovers by YSL and an informal fashion show by Neiman Marcus.
