For a designer without any formal training, Consuelo Castiglioni has quite a following. Fans of her increasingly popular label Marni include some of fashion’s top names.
A few of these famous fans gathered in New York’s Upper East Side a few days ago to christen a new addition to the Marni store family. Despite a previous night of partying at the Costume Intitute Gala, some of Castiglioni’s faithful followers, like stylist (and soon to be designer) Rachel Zoe, up-and-coming designer Thakoon, and the always classy Vera Wang, attended the store’s opening to show their support.
Guests were, no doubt, prepared for some fabulous shopping and champagne, and they were not disappointed. The posh, uptown surroundings of the techno beaux arts-designed location is as good an atmosphere as any for a chic designer boutique.
