Douglas Hannant, Petra Levin
 

When the New York winter grows cold and bleak, the fashionable flock to the breeze and sun of Palm Beach, where NY luxury designer Douglas Hannant hosted a fashion show luncheon in honor of the Norton Museum of Art’s major event donors. The museum, which opened in 1941, houses a permanent collection of over 5,000 works of international and contemporary art and photography.

Palm Beach prominents mingled with New York notables in a crowd that included Frederick Anderson, Audrey Gruss, Petra Levin, Hunt Slonem, Annie Falk, Mary Freitas, Joy Wayne, Jesse Araskog, and Karen Swanson. Beth Rudin DeWoody opened the doors to her home for the afternoon, where lunch was served poolside on the terrace so the guests could ponder the equal miracles of winter warmth and exceptional art.
