Michael Siegel Robyn Siegel Nina Richter Alex Young By Jane Rozelle. Photography Jonathan Zizzo. BABY president and CEO Stephanie Disegni, marketing and communications director Nina Richter, and managing director Olivier Cassegrain — grandson of Longchamp founder Jean Cassegrain. There was much to celebrate, most notably the expansive selection of Longchamp's famous Le Pilage bag, plus myriad updated styles. Graham, the consummate fashion expert, selected a few of her most-beloved designs, helping attendees pick bags that were most in mode. Sipping and shopping: store manager Roland Përez; Catharine Flagg, David Goltl, and Nate Robbins. A certain corridor of NorthPark Center suddenly feels more like rue Saint-Honoré: Longchamp, the storied French purveyor of classic leather handbags and accessories, opened its first Texas boutique next to fellow French brand Diptyque, with a fête suited for the most fashionable Francophiles. Hosts Avril Graham, Harper's Bazaar executive fashion and beauty editor, and Joyce Goss, Dallas Contemporary board member and Goss-Michael Foundation executive director, gathered a style-minded guest list for the to-do. A contingency from Longchamp came to town to toast the boutique, including Samantha Stewart Kelle Knight Roland Përez Lynsey Eaton Ellen Flowers Blair Butler Janie Flowers Ali Hollins THAT'S MY BAG, John Clutts Chuck Steelman Sami Arslanlar Joyce Goss Avril Graham Stephanie Disegni Rachel Roberts Kristen Gibbins Olivier Cassegrain Lauren Kay Sims Loryn Weddle Shelby Foster IRMA STERN (SOUTH AFRICAN, 1894-1966) Arab in Black oil on canvas within an original Zanzibar frame Sold for $1,200,000 DALLAS APPRAISAL DAYS APPOINTMENTS AND INQUIRIES (713)855 7452 amy.lawch@bonhams.com South African and Contemporary African Art September 20 and 21, 2016 Post-War & Contemporary September 8, 2016 Bonhams specialists will be in Dallas to provide complimentary auction estimates for art you may wish to consign to auction.
