St. Vincent’s Fundraiser:
“Building Health, Hope and Compassion”
This past spring, together with Chairmen Clea Newman Soderlund, Patricia Willett, Megan Foley, and Program Chair Beth Hayes, Mitchells hosted the St. Vincent’s fundraiser for “Building Health, Hope, and Compassion.” The proceeds from the event are to benefit the Elizabeth M. Pfreim SWIM Center for Cancer Care, scheduled to open in January 2010. It gives us great pleasure to be involved in this project and to reach out a helping hand to our community. In honor of our parents, Norma and Ed Mitchell who founded Mitchells and our belief in giving back, the main corridor of the new SWIM Center will be named after them. Some of the highlights of the evening included a jewelry fashion show by Kimberly McDonald, a martini bar compliments of Grey Goose and Pirical, and a live auction. Approximately 200 guests joined us to support the cause and helped raise nearly $300,000. A special thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!

Brunello Cucinelli Comes to Richards
We were thrilled to host one of our favorite designers, Brunello Cucinelli, in Richards of Greenwich, CT! Mr. Cucinelli flew in from Italy to spend an informal and informative afternoon with us, treating us to a preview of looks from his stunning Resort/Spring 2010 collection. We lunched on an elegant Italian spread of delicious meat and cheese antipastos, while models dressed in Cucinelli intermingled with guests for two hours. Lunch was followed by a speech by Cucinelli about his warm relationship with the Mitchell family. Mr. Cucinelli spoke eloquently about his passion for giving back and how people buying his clothes enables him to support some wonderful initiatives in Italy that are close to his heart.
“Fall into Fashion” At The Loft
A great night was had at The Loft Friday for our first ever “Fall Into Fashion” Event. We had to stop taking RSVPs a week before the event and the place was packed. Divine food by Match Restaurant, sinful cocktails by the Loft and must-have fashions by Mitchells / Richards was a recipe for success. With the doors wide open, traffic on the street was at a standstill as models presented a live exhibition of the best of fall from such designers as Theory, Vince, Catherine Malandrino, DVF, Charles Chang Lima, Michael Kors, Dolce, Brunello Cucinelli and more.
