Happy House HuntinG with Hillory Chung Hillory Chung, Circle of Excellence 713.933.4141 hchung@marthaturner.com V ersace's Alla Farberov flew in from New York for a fête in the Italian mega-brand's Galleria boutique, hosted by fashion blogger Carrie Colbert and featuring special guest Lucy Sykes Rellie. A mini fashion show of the fall/winter collection had stylish guests mad for the primary colors and Greek-key designs. Libations from Deep Eddy Vodka and shrimp tostados and vanilla bean crème brûlée from A Fare Extraordinaire were passed, while patrons snatched up stunning looks for autumn ensembles. A percentage of sales benefitted Recipe for Success (Colbert is the chair of the year-long Dress for Dinner series).
