The Country Friends Art of Fashion, the nonprofit’s annual celebration of fall and philanthropy, takes to the runway at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe on September 12. The fashion show will feature selections from the fall-winter collections of South Coast Plaza’s leading luxury retailers including Balmain, Camilla, Lanvin, Max Mara, Michael Kors Collection, and Monique Lhuillier. “This year’s event is extra special because it marks the 70th anniversary of The Country Friends,” notes Janean Stripe, the nonprofit’s president. “We are also proud of our 20-year partnership with South Coast Plaza, our presenting sponsor, which always produces a fabulous show.” Philanthropist Joan Waitt is the event’s honorary chair, with Tamara Lafarga-Joseph and MJ Wittman serving as co-chairs, and Sandra Maas as emcee. Event proceeds will benefit The Country Friends’ chosen charities, with emphasis on those serving women, children, the elderly, military families, and persons with disabilities. thecountryfriends.org
The new trend in real estate: It’s lifestyle per square foot. Merging luxury with a beachgoer’s DNA, this $75 million brand new multi-gen beach compound personifies the concept with privacy, playfulness, and meditative design
It’s a next-level immersion of retail and hospitality. Leave it to RH to reimagine the furniture showroom of yore with a dramatic artistic display that pushes the luxury boundaries; a rooftop restaurant is the cherry on top
