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.
