Ben-Amun Celebrates Made in New York!

We were so delighted to partner with apparel designer Dana-Maxx to throw a fabulous event to kick off New York Fashion Week! “Made in NY” was a preview of Ben-Amun and the up and coming designer’s Fall/Winter 2013 collections that took place in The New Yorker Penthouse Suite at The Carlton Hotel!

We were lucky enough to have the wonderful Alicia Quarles of E! News host the event, who shared the spotlight with good friend Diem Brown of MTV’s The Real World fame turned People Magazine blogger! 

Also among the guests were Leslie Birkland, star of the Style Network’s reality series Big Rich Texas and 13-year-old rising star Emma Kenney who plays Debbie on Showtime’s hit show Shameless who left the editor and blogger guests in attendance star struck!  Miss New York Teen USA Nikki Orlando showed off her crown and pride for her state while posing for pictures with guests who kept busy by tweeting and posting party pictures on Instagram! 

Guests toasted with strawberry infused Prosecco cocktails by Fragoli Liqueur and treated themselves to Dana-Maxx and Ben-Amun branded mini cupcakes by Sweet Generation.  Caravan Styling Studio provided a beauty bar for guests to pamper themselves with hair braids by Salon Grafix, eye shadows by Pop Beauty and lip stains by Daliia Cosmetics.  Manicures with the latest Fall colors were seen on the nails of guests thanks to Color Club before playing dress up in the chic styling suite with Dana-Maxx apparel and our jewelry!

Models mingling throughout the suite showcased the Fall lines revealing the season’s latest looks including: capelets, cropped sweaters, car coats, equipment blouses and stylized dresses for designer Dana-Maxx Pomerantz’s ready-to-wear collection, while Isaac Manevitz, designer of Ben-Amun presented emerald green, textured gold, clean sculptural lines, and modern pearl statement pieces as trends to watch for the Fall season. Dana-Maxx and Ben-Amun are proud to be 100% made in New York City’s garment district!
