FORTY FIVE TEN CELEBRATES OPENING OF FLAGSHIP STORE WITH SERIES OF EVENTS
An intimate evening hosted by Atelier Swarovski, Forty Five Ten’s vice president creative and women’s fashion director Taylor Tomasi Hill and Forty Five Ten men’s fashion director Nick Wooster honoring Iris Apfel, on Thursday, December 8 at Forty Five Ten on Main, with a performance by Andra Day.
On Friday, December 9 out-of-town guests were invited to Dallas by Day to view the private collections of some of Dallas’ – and the world’s – most notable art collectors. Highlighting the day was a luncheon hosted by philanthropist Cindy Rachofsky at The Warehouse, which houses works from The Rachofsky Collection.
The celebration culminated with Friday evening’s gala event, The Eccentrics. Here, guests were invited to explore Forty Five Ten’s curated point of view – an edited and stylish assortment of lines in ready-to-wear, home, beauty and jewelry – with thematic happenings on each floor. DJ Evalicious played the hits on the first floor, while guests mingled and enjoyed Dom Pérignon and caviar. A special performance by Dita Von Teese and an after party hosted by Erin Wasson are just a few of the highlights of this special evening.
