30TH Anniversary of JA New Designer Gallery - what a party!   

 

This was the 30th anniversary of the JA Show’s New Designer Gallery and we threw ourselves quite a fete! First came the ceremony - nearly 50 of the 300+ alumni came to celebrate and remember old times with each other… seen in the photo is Janis Savitt (M+J Savitt) Steven Lagos, Beth Moskowitz, David Yurman, Sheila Kahn, Frederica, Karen Gerstl, Deborah Blohm, Kristin Moore and Esther Gallant.  Each having been in the New Designer Gallery when they debuted in the industry. It was a GREAT time. Next came a reunion dinner I organized for all — we had more than 120 people there — all laughing and telling stories and genuinely having a ball.
