(Continued from page 32) Design Paradise F or the dinner, rounds and other tables were positioned for lounge- like seating. I found myself somewhat in the center of the hive, along with Christy Berry, Pat McEvoy, and one of the designers from this year's Kips Bay, Trish Sheats. Dinner was a delish variety of courses created by Carbone Dallas. It truly felt like a more polite era sans cell phones and social media; as if Lee Radziwill might appear at any moment in opera-length gloves and a Balmain gown. The design industry's elite raised more than $400,000 that night to fund essential afterschool programs to more than 11,000 young people at 10 locations throughout the Bronx. Of course, all were excited to see the dinner's co-chairs — Claire Emanuelson (in a va-va-voom leopard Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress), Jan Showers, and Shelby Wagner — on stage with exciting show house updates, as well as Nazira Handal, Kips Bay director of special events and corporate sponsorships and the heart of the show house; Dan Quintero, executive director of Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club; this year's honoree, Chad Dorsey; and Vipin Nambiar, the owner of this year's show house. Other design royalty that evening included dinner vice chairs Tucker Enthoven, Kelli Ford, Jean Liu and Javier Burkle; as well as Ann and David Sutherland, Mark Sikes, Bryan and Mike Yates, Charlotte Carr, Tiffany and Darren Woodson, Meredith and Hunter Ellis, Peter Touma, Pam Marshall, Beth Holman, Chappell Loudermilk and Zeke Jordan, Jennifer Klos, Chesie Breen, Noel Pittman, Eddie Maestri, Courtnay Tartt Elias, John Amato, and two from a Texas Design Week Dallas panel I was moderating the next day, Darren Henault and Jonathan Savage.
