Champagne precedes the fashion show of anesteemed designer, which is followed by a deliciousbrunch and more socializing. This year's event wasspecial for several reasons, not the least of whichwas the elegance and grace that world-renowneddesigner Carolina Herrera brings to everything shetouches. The Spring and Summer 2003 Collectionwas shown in its entirety, "It's really the best way toview a collection," Herrera said. In keeping with theholiday spirit, Saks Jandel contributed ten percent ofthe proceeds from purchases to Nina's Kids Fund (aprogram of Rincones & Company Dance Theater.)
