Manolo Blahnik, Markarian, DeBeers, and Over The Moon Usher in Party Season in Style

Candace Bushnell may have said it best when she mused, “Manolos and Champagne—a dream!” The Sex and the City author captured the sentiment of other well-heeled guests at a cocktail party on Wednesday night at the Manolo Blahnik flagship store on Madison Avenue. Indeed, Bushnell glided (in pristine fresh-of-out-the-box footwear) into fashion’s first big soirée of party season. The evening’s hosts: Over The Moon, Markarian, DeBeers, and Manolo.

The boutique’s Old Hollywood interior design was the perfect backdrop for the evening’s entertainment: Models flitted about the room in Markarian’s new Spring bridal collection with Gatsby-worthy sequins, fringe, and more.

And, there was no shortage of sparkle, as DeBeers jewels were on display so guests could capture the perfect 10-carat selfie. The style set was in full force, and in a room-full of hundreds of Manolos, quite literally, nearly every partygoer had a Cinderella moment and tried on the shoe—or two!—of their dreams before the clock struck midnight.
