This spring, fashion meets philanthropy in a spectacular new-to-San-Francisco event as San Francisco Opera Guild and Neiman Marcus collaborate to present The Art of Fashion Runway Show and Luncheon. This exciting event will showcase the latest trends in luxury fashion while supporting the future of music education in our community. Taking place on Wednesday, May 28th at Neiman Marcus San Francisco, the event will feature a special appearance by Chloe King, Director of Fashion & Lifestyle at Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus.
Guests will delight in an elegant afternoon starting with a champagne reception at 11:00 am surrounded by friends in an exquisite space designed by acclaimed event stylist J. Riccardo Benavides. Following the reception, guests will enjoy a brief presentation by Chloe King on emerging fashion trends and an exclusive preview of what to expect in Fall Fashion. Guests will then be treated to an exquisite luncheon and runway show, highlighting the latest collections from some of the world’s leading designers and Neiman Marcus brand partners, including Carolina Herrera, Brunello Cucinelli, Tom Ford, Etro, Monique Lhuillier, Libertine, Michael Kors, and more.
Chloe brings an extraordinary vision and editorial eye to the world of luxury fashion. Previously the Market & Editorial Director for Neiman Marcus, Chloe’s role evolved over the past 2.5 years and she has been a major force in shaping fashion direction at Neiman Marcus. Earlier in her career, she honed her perspective in the Fashion Office at Bergdorf Goodman, led content creation at The Webster and was part of the team that built Amazon’s Luxury vertical. She was also named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2016 for her creative leadership and influence in the fashion industry. Originally a Boston native, Chloe now lives in Brooklyn, where the spirit of the city fuels her creativity and astute eye. During this special event, Chloe will share her fashion insights and present a curation of fashion’s most coveted looks, handpicked by her from the latest luxury collections, offering an exclusive preview of the season’s must-have trends.

Grand Benefactor level patrons will also be invited to a private dinner with Chloe King that same evening. This highly anticipated fashion event has limited seating and is expected to sell out quickly. To secure your spot, please reserve your tickets promptly by visiting the link above.
This day of fashion and philanthropy promises to be as stylish as it is impactful.
