On Wednesday, May 16, The Women’s Board of Winnetka Community House celebrated this year’s approaching Antiques + Modernism Winnetka show at the “Modernize your Wardrobe” event at Neapolitan in Winnetka.
Along with guests from Chartwell Insurance Services, Women’s Board members enjoyed cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while shopping for and admiring everything from jeans and t-shirts to elegant cocktail attire from world-renowned designers such as Alexander McQueen, Jason Wu, and Lanvin. Kelly Golden, owner of Neapolitan, travels the globe to bring exclusive, luxury fashion and accessories to Chicago’s North Shore - creating the ideal setting for Antiques + Modernism Winnetka supporters to celebrate style and design. Kelly Golden has learned a thing or two about personal style and what works and what doesn’t for her jet set clientele. For a decade, Kelly has been on the pulse of high fashion, traveling multiple times a year to view runway shows in New York, Milan and Paris, as well as shop the collections from the world’s leading designers. Often quoted in Women’s Wear Daily, The Wall Street Journal and other style sources, Kelly is known in the fashion world for her style savvy insight.
Ten percent of all purchases made at the shopping event benefited Winnetka Community House.
“The Women’s Board of Winnetka Community House is incredibly grateful to Neapolitan for hosting this fashionable and fun event,” said 2012 Show Chairman Kristin Lolli. “Extending modern design beyond the walls of Winnetka Community House allows us to introduce new collectors and enthusiasts to the aesthetic offered at Antiques + Modernism Winnetka.”
