Although temperatures were at an all-time high on Monday, guests filled the Ladurée Private Garden in Soho to celebrate Caroline Byron’s new book Gluten Free, Naturally. At the soiree, guests which included Ana Villafañe (Broadway’s On Your Feet!), designer Carly Cushnie (of Cushnie et Ochs), and Vogue editor Edward Barsamian, sipped custom cocktails, delicious gluten-free canape’s created by Caroline Byron, and of course those tasty macaroons by Ladurée.
The Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation is an international organization dedicated to curing and preventing cancer. Last week, the charitable organization hosted their 17th annual benefit dinner and auction. The event honored fashion designers and our seatmates, Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs, otherwise known as the duo behind Cushnie et Ochs. The evening started with a cocktail reception where more than 750 corporate executives, board members, and their guests mingled and bid on silent auction items. Notables included Dr. Samuel Waxman and family, Chris Wragge, Michael and Elin Nierenberg, Ruth Finley, and a host of others.
