Dedicated contemporary art aficianados and fashionistas know what time of year it is— when a great day on the slopes magically transports you onto the red carpet at the ASPEN ART MUSEUM's annual après-ski benefit evening of festivity and philanthropy: Dennis Basso FREESTYLE at the St. Regis Aspen Resort, presented by Aspen Magazine, Chopard, and Phillips de Pury & Company.
You'll be greeted with fine champagne and caviar, delectable cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, and a silent auction replete with exciting must-haves. Then sashay past the papparazzi to watch a dream of a runway show by impresario Dennis Basso, and join the action at Phillips de Pury's live auction of rare opportunities to:
Take a private tour of the legendary Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy, enjoying a two-night stay in Milan at the timelessly elegant Bulgari Hotel. Then cheer on Scuderia Ferrari at the 2010 Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
Savor a glamorous lunch with superstar fashion designer Tom Ford at Los Angeles's famed Spago restaurant.
Enjoy your very own private enclave with four individual bedroom villas at the spectacular Aman Resort on the idyllic islands of Turks and Caicos.
Enjoy a hosted private luncheon at Phillip Johnson's celebrated architectural masterpiece, The Glass House, then dine in New York City at Johnson's timeless Four Seasons.
Begin or add to your art collection with the original show-stopping contemporary landscape that adorns Aspen’s 2009/10 lift pass by Dutch painter Carla Klein.
Bejewel yourself with a dazzling Chopard “sparkler” and stop the show.
Wrap yourself up in a one-of-a-kind Dennis Basso original design and wow the town.
FREESTYLE is Aspen's premier fashion event of the year, the hottest winter party of the season, and the magnet for Aspen's most stylish crowd. It’s also a very special opportunity to support the Aspen Art Museum's internationally recognized contemporary arts programming—a dream come true to the Roaring Fork Valley and its visitors.
