Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Soiree

On December 4, Janna Bullock, Jamee Gregory and Muffie Potter Aston and the ladies from The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s hosted a sweet soiree in Janna’s sumptuous townhouse that had been festooned for the season by Sonia Caproni. The cause celebre was The Center’s first new Holiday decor in 12 years, funded by The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation and designed and installed by Bill Tansey, who chose a traditional Victorian ambiance:  garlands, trees, wreathes and roping.

The party featured vases decorated by 30 of the city’s top fashion designers. Mark Badgley, James Mischka, Dennis Basso, Michael Vollbracht for Bill Blass, Tory Burch, Reed Krakoff for Coach, Lyn Devon, Diane von Furstenberg, Douglas Hannant, Marc Jacobs, Naeem Khan, Francisco Costa for Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Catherine Malandrino, Gilles Mendel, Nicole Miller, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta, Narcisco Rodriguez, Lela Rose, Cynthia Rowley, Angel Sanchez, Behnaz Sarafpour, Peter Som, Steven Stolman, Vivienne Tam, Zang Toi, Bryan Bradley for Tuleh, Alvin Valley and Vera Wang, each decorated and signed a ceramic cube in their own special style. Meredith Waga Pérez of Belle Fleur then demonstrated serious floral artistry by filling each with topiaries or flowers to suit its unique design, turning them into seasonal fantasies extraordinaire. They were displayed in the center of the townhouse’s grand salon and sold in a silent auction to support future holiday decorations in the hospital to ensure that patients receive their cancer care in a brighter environment.
