The fossils on display at the American Museum of Natural History may be thousands of years old, but there was nothing ancient about the crowd at the annual Winter Dance, sponsored by Versace. Escaping the winter chill at the desert-oasis-themed event, 700+ flourishing young Manhattan sophisticates -200 for cocktails and an intimate dinner in the Akeley Hall of African Mammals, and an additional 500 for dessert and dancing (at a fraction of the cost!).
Organized by Chairs Zani Gugelmann, Tinsley Mortimer, Amanda Hearst, Claire Bernard, Jacqueline Sackler, and Ivanka Trump, the night brought together a hip crowd eager to have a great time! Seen mingling: Moby, Patrick McMullan, Gillian Hearst-Shaw, Fabiola Beracasa, Amy Greenspon, Alex Kramer, Minnie Mortimer, Christian Leone, Cynthia Muretto, Damien Loeb, Dan Ragone, Lucy Sykes and Euan Rellie, Greg Calejo, Genevieve Jones, Janine Carendi, Coya Loeb, Jill and Melissa Berkelhammer, Nina Garcia, and Stella Schnabel.
A silent auction brimming with luxury items showcased a vacation at the Palazzo Versace Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia; a Trump Classic golf outing in either West Palm Beach or Briarcliff Manor; and a Versace suit for him and dress for her from the 2006 runway collection. Proceeds from the evening funded the educational and scientific programs sponsored by the museum.
Against the backdrop of a sultry sunset, palm trees rose tall among the dinosaur remains, adding to the colorful attire of the guests.
This crowd was hot, hot, hot!
