The delicious cookies given out at Gente on Via Babuino
Cool display at the Campari party which was held in the "Roman Holiday" palazzo on Via Margutta

Cocktails!
Leaving the party. Next stop, Stella McCartney.
Last Thursday night, Rome held her version of Vogue’s Fashion Night Out. Anna Wintour, the EIC of American Vogue, started the event a few years ago to kick off Fashion Week in New York City.
There are rumors this year will be the last one in NYC, but nothing has been confirmed.
I wasn’t sure what to expect. Two of my fashion loving friends met up with me at Miu Miu and off we went.
Courtney invited a young Italian friend of hers to join us. She was super sweet and it was interesting to hear the POV of an early 20-something. I don’t know if she realized all of us were technically old enough to be her mom. Heh.
Just as I arrived at Miu Miu I saw Franca Sozzani, the EIC of Italian Vogue. She was surrounded by a ton of press.
The night was a blast. We kept bumping into friends. I couldn’t believe how crowded the streets were. Red Valentino served the best cocktails.
Several stores hired DJs. The Stella McCartney store had a hot popcorn machine. Erica heard a rumor they also had cupcakes, but by the time we got there we didn’t see any.
Gente on Via Babuino served cookies (they were very cute and delicious), prosecco (in nice glasses) and appetizers. It was my first time in that store. Oh Mio Dio, why did I do that to myself? They sell Repetto ballet flats and other wonderful things.
One thing that jumped out at me was seeing so men out and about with their girlfriends/wives. People really got into the spirit of the evening.
Some of the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. This would explain why we saw so many nurses wearing vintage Red Cross uniforms. Fashion + function.
