This evening was all about texture. As the temperatures dropped, we invited guests to embrace the season by layering their style with rich, tactile elements. Think leather, suede, fur, and other textured fabrics that evoked warmth and luxury. The theme celebrated depth and detail, both in fashion and in the event’s ambiance. From the moment guests arrived, they were immersed in an experience designed to highlight the beauty of contrast and the richness of layers—an evening where every detail spoke to the art of texture.
