During the amazing year-end flurry of holiday festivities, contemporary art aficionados and dedicated followers of fashion once again flocked to the St. Regis Aspen Resort for AAM’s annual après-ski benefit evening of festivity and philanthropy—Dennis Basso Freestyle, sponsored by Aspen Magazine, Chopard, and Phillips De Pury & Company.
For the 2009 Freestyle benefit, co-chairs Eleanore and Domenico De Sole, Carolyn and Bill Powers, and Allen and Kelli Questrom invited guests to a timeless evening of haute couture, luxurious travel packages, entertainment, and fine art.
Champagne, cocktails, caviar and delectable hors d’oeuvres kicked off the soiree during the silent auction of must-have items, accessories, unique trips to exotic locales and more, followed by Phillips de Pury & Company Chairman and auctioneer Simon de Pury taking the stage to preside over bids on such amazing live auction lots as: A tour of the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, along with a two-night stay in Milan at the elegant Bulgari Hotel and guest passes to cheer on Scuderia Ferrari at the upcoming 2010 Italian Grand Prix at Monza; lunch with top fashion designer Tom Ford in LA; a private enclave on the idyllic islands of Turks and Caicos; a hosted private lunch at Phillip Johnson’s iconic Glass House and dinner at Johnson’s fabulous NYC landmark Four Seasons restaurant; a brilliant jewel-encrusted Chopard “Happy Time” watch; and, of course, the show-stopper—title sponsor Dennis Basso’s stunning one-of-a-kind-double-your-fun reversible original coat designed especially for the occasion.
Basso then concluded the evening with a stunning 2009/2010 Basso Winter Collection finale runway fashion show, delivering his inimitable brand of fashion-as-fine-art elegance.
