SCENE NEIMAN MARCUS AND BRUNELLO CUCINELLI'S MUSE OF THE WEST By Billy Fong. Photography Jason Sean Weiss and BFA Kaitlin Saragusa. Scene: Neiman Marcus and the hallowed Italian heritage brand Brunello Cucinelli partnered to host cocktails and dinner under the stars at Roadrunner Ranch in Ferris, Texas. High Points: The premiere of the Muse of the West video and the adorable moment when Lana Todorovich, Neiman Marcus president and chief merchandising officer, gifted Carolina Cucinelli with a pair of red Lucchese cowboy boots. Takeaway: Guests from Italy, Dallas, and both U.S. coasts filled two long, elegant tables to feast on a mash-up menu of Italian (pasta aplenty) and old west (filets) celebrating the Muse of the West capsule collection which includes a reinvented version of the iconic denim jacket and a suede duster.
