Saks' Chief Merchandising Officer Tracy Margolies, international designer and Creative Director Rebecca Vallance, and American Designer and philanthropist Nicky Hilton celebrated the holidays at New York hot spot, Le Bar Penelope, to honor the Nicky Hilton for Rebecca Vallance Holiday Collection at Saks.
Upon arrival, guests were invited to mingle over a thoughtfully designed cocktail menu and delicious canapes including Chili Rock Shrimp, Pork Belly Bao Buns, Tuna Tartare Lettuce Wraps and Chicken and Scallion Skewers, curated exclusively by Le Bar Penelope.
"It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with Saks and Nicky Hilton for such a memorable event in New York,” said Rebecca Vallance, Founder & Creative Director of Rebecca Vallance. “The event perfectly captured the holiday spirit of the collection, bringing it to life in the most fabulous way!”
“It doesn’t get better than celebrating my holiday collection with Rebecca Vallance and Saks in my hometown of New York City!” added Nicky Hilton.
“The holiday season is such a special time for Saks, and we’re excited to partner with two incredible fashion creatives to bring even more sparkle to our customers’ wardrobes, all season long,” said Tracy Margolies, Chief Merchandising Officer, Saks. “From impeccable embellishment to chic silhouettes, the Nicky Hilton x Rebecca Vallance collection offers Saks’ customers the opportunity to celebrate the festivities in occasion-ready style, with beautifully designed pieces that embody both glamour and elegance.”
With music by DJ Tokyo Rose, guests danced well into the night ringing in the festive season, all dressed in the Nicky Hilton for Rebecca Vallance Holiday collection. The collaboration, born out of a friendship that blossomed between Vallance and Hilton and Nicky’s personal love of the brand, marks the first time the Rebecca Vallance label has opened up to a collaborator in this way. Focusing on the shared values of Nicky and Rebecca – style, quality and femininity - iconic Rebecca Vallance brand codes were reimagined through Hilton’s lens to create a collection that perfectly captures a quintessential holiday spirit. Nicky Hilton for Rebecca Vallance is available on Saks.com and in select Saks Fifth Avenue stores.
The celebration was attended by guests including Rebbeca Vallance-Gasan, Nicky Hilton, Paris Hilton, Martha Stewart, Huma Abedin, Helena Christensen, Ashley Benson, Olivia Palermo, Cassandra Grey, Derek Blasberg, Jordana Brewster, Lameka Fox, Teddy Quinlivan, Brynn Whitfield, Tina Leung, Ezra J. William, Sabine Getty, Leigh Lezark, Tina Craig and more.
