Tochia Levine
By Bill Dougherty
When I think of Tochia Levine, I will always remember her dressed to the nines in fine shantung pale-colored suits and beautiful dresses. She passed away early this fall and left not only a remarkable life but a lasting legacy for our community and country.
From the time I joined the staff of Trends as a reporter in January 1994, Tochia and her husband Stan were a big deal. They were absolutely everywhere and all the time. They had made a fortune and were more than happy to shower the philanthropic community with their winnings. They were absolutely electrifying! But truth be told, I really only knew them just to say hello or take their photo. Things changed radically when Tochia joined our board of directors several years later in 2006. I learned Tochia had been a runway model in New York in the mid-1960s. It was there that she obtained a degree at the New York School of Interior Design. She was also a long-standing member of the Grand Canyon Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. She was also a volunteer at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, attending memorial services for veterans and offering condolences to their families. She told me that sometimes she was the only person at those services. Unbelievable!
Tochia and Stan loved and supported Arizona Opera, the Phoenix Art Museum, the French Heritage Society, the Phoenix Heart Ball, and the Scottdale Artists’ School. Well into her eighties, Tochia could be found in our office conference room. There, dressed to the nines in her trademark shantung apparel and three-inch stiletto pumps, she crawled the floors going through countless grant requests with fellow board member Ellie Shapiro. She would simply smile and say, “all in a day’s work.”
To know Tochia Levine was to love her. Her philanthropy knew no bounds. Her tireless efforts on the Trends Charitable Fund Board, and dozens of other boards just like ours, were a reflection of not only Torchia’s hard work but also her commitment to the community. She could have become a lady who lunched. Instead, this softspoken beauty chose a far different path. . Tochia was an excellent wife, mother, and above all a great American. She will be missed.

Yogi – 822950
Yogi is about as unique as they come – both in her distinctive looks and exceptional personality! The three-year-old German Sheperd was rescued from a home where she was living in hoard-like conditions with multiple other dogs.
Although she had already been through so much, it did not take long for Arizona Humane Society employees and volunteers to notice her quirky features. After a thorough exam in the shelter’s Lazin Animal Foundation Trauma Hospital, it was found that this sweet girl is living with skull and joint abnormalities due to over and inbreeding practices. While she may look a little different, Yogi is a healthy and happy girl whose heart is pure gold. The goofy girl continues to be a volunteer favorite on Doggy Field Trips, showing that she loves to meet new people (including kids), enjoys a good car ride, and is always down for an adventure. She’s a smart, fun-loving pup who brings the party with her everywhere she goes.
Youthful Yogi’s adoption fee includes her spay surgery, current vaccinations, a microchip, and a follow-up wellness exam with a VCA Animal Hospital. Visit this uniquely adorable and sweet girl at the Arizona Humane Society’s Papago Park Campus or learn more at azhumane.org/adopt to give her the loving forever home she deserves.
Caesar – 829675
Named after ancient royalty, Caesar is a true leader in cuteness and cuddles! At just five months old, this adorable orange tabby is truly the emperor of good looks and sweetness, even though it may take him a little bit to warm up.
Caesar made his way to the Arizona Humane Society after his previous family unfortunately could no longer care for him. Although he might be a bit shy, it is clear to see why everyone falls head over heels for this furry creamsicle. Unfortunately, Caesar’s story is not a one-off as many families have had to make the difficult decision to surrender their pets due to a number of reasons. This is why AHS no only works to save the sick, injured and abused pets in our community but also offers resources to help people keep their pets in loving homes and out of already crowded Valley shelters.
Creative Caesar’s adoption fee includes his neuter surgery, current vaccinations, a microchip, and a follow-up wellness exam with a VCA Animal Hospital. Visit this sweet but shy boy at the Arizona Humane Society’s South Mountain Campus or learn more at azhumane.org/adopt to give him the loving forever home he deserves.

LA DOLCE VITA
By Bill Dougherty
The Season October to June
Online social calendar: www.trendspublishing.com/social-calendar
People are talking about the social season and not necessarily in an effective way. While there have been some absolutely iconic events in the months of October and November, you might have noticed a substantial change. Every organization tried to cram their respective events and galas into two months. This has left December, January and February almost totally devoid of any happenings. In the 32 years I have been with this publication, I have never seen a season quit like this one. I understand that each organization wants to be the first out of the gate. But when three and four events are held on the same night, this is an absolutely ridiculous notion.
This Valley is a wonderful place for fundraising, in fact Phoenix just placed fourth behind New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. That’s very impressive. We just need to space things out a bit. You get the picture?
Last month we failed to revise a headline on famed columnist Patsy Lowry’s column. The end result looked like a love letter to handsome and savvy Heard Museum CEO David Roche. While all of us adore and respect Mr. Roche, we screwed up. Sorry, Patsy!

SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR INSTITUTEDINNER WITH LBJ & THE 1960S
Sarah Suggs would have a few more minutes to sharpen her speech for the evening, apply her trademark fire-engine-red lipstick, and then present famed author Doris Kearns Goodwin to the Valley. Since becoming the institute’s CEO, Sarah has done a brilliant job bringing the sharpest minds on both sides of the aisle to us, while exploring various presidencies. Following an opulent cocktail reception where champagne flowed and hot hors d’oeuvres were passed, guests took
their respective seats. All were treated to a menu designed by Lady Bird Johnson in the early 1960s. Afterwords, Ms. Kearns Goodwin did a tremendous job explaining the complicated and very controversial journey of the LBJ presidency and the turmoil of the late 1960s. You could have heard a pin drop. It was a fantastic evening. Cindy Watts stole the show in a crisp white number.

HONORHEALTH HONOR BALL ADDRESSING LUNCHEON
It’s no secret that the Honor Ball is perhaps one of the merriest balls in town. The other afternoon at the Paradise Valley Country Club, this year’s committee proved that again. A group of beautiful and well-seasoned socialites gathered on the stately club’s breathtaking terrace to assemble the invitations for the 2026 ball. Hostesses Laurie Brown, Natalie Gaylord, Krystal Grogan, Laurie Florkiewicz, Sara Lee, Stacy Lovell, Priscilla Nicholas (who looked smashing in a plaid
dress and caramel pumps,) Catherine Tuton, Sandy Trznadel and Christine Watson welcomed a lovely group of ladies. Anyone who has ever worked on a charity ball knows that a great deal of attention and detail goes into every gala. Honor Ball has been consistent in the everchanging course of their event. The evening is a blast, and it raises much-needed funds too. Bravo ladies. Once again, you have reinvented the wheel!

A posh cocktail reception and some of the best hors d’oeuvres on the planet dazzled even the most jaded party goer! Christopher Biggs addressed improvements in breast cancer care. Shad Marvasti spoke on integrative health and
lifestyle medicine. Jim Whitfill concluded with a short talk on artificial intelligence in healthcare today. All three physicians were quick and to the point, and the evening was easily facilitated. All of this should make its board founders Penny Gunning and Ina Manaster exceptionally pleased. Guests departed the event wiser and very well educated on the subjects at hand. Sally Lehmann looked exceptional and ready for fall.

Scottsdale Marketplace, recently purchased and rebranded as Chapin House, has a lot to celebrate. Just the other night, the specialty antiques, furniture, home décor, gifts, and fine art gallery threw open its renovated digs to PANDA and a fetching group of ladies and gentlemen. All were curious to see what extraordinary things had been done. The evening served to benefit PANDA and the miraculous research that organization continues to do for rare childhood diseases and disorders. Proprietors Heather and Chip Hassan welcomed a huge
crowd of well-wishers, eager to support the worthy organization, to the heart-stopping renovations to the store. Payton Hassan, fetching in a leopard pantsuit, was more than happy to showcase to the crowd the vast variety of specialty gifts available throughout the store… just in time for the holiday season! Champagne was passed and hors d’oeuvres stations abounded throughout the impressive venue. It was the perfect evening.

Non-Surgical Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Thermage Skin Tightening
Have loose, wrinkled, or sagging skin? Want to avoid plastic surgery? We have a solution that could be right for your needs and goals. Whether it’s a sagging jawline, turkey neck, or wrinkled skin on your belly, Thermage skin tightening in Scottsdale can lift and tighten your skin for long-term results without surgery, needles, or downtime. Learn more about this treatment available at Ultra Smooth Skin below.
Non-Surgical Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Thermage skin tightening is a popular choice for adult men and women. Whether you are just beginning to notice the symptoms of aging on your skin or have dealt with years of wrinkles and sagging skin, Thermage may be your solution. It uses radiofrequency waves to work deep within your skin, remodeling the collagen beneath the surface to create smoother skin. Thermage can be used in numerous places throughout the body, from the eyes to the thighs and knees. You will find that it is gentle yet effective even with only one treatment.
The Thermage Procedure
Treatment time varies depending on the treatment area. The larger the area, the longer your treatment will take. Before starting your Thermage skin tightening treatment, you will be asked to remove your makeup if you are receiving a facial treatment. The aesthetic provider will then place a grounding patch on your body, typically on the abdomen. The nurse holds a small device over the treatment area. First, the device cools your skin prior to heating it. Following the heat, your skin will again be cooled. This process is repeated until the entire area has been treated.
THE BANNER BALL 2025
Two of the fairest maidens in the land, Suzi Hilton and Mari Lederman, successfully co-chaired this year’s Banner Ball. The event, which raised needed funds for Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Arizona, proved a home run early in the social season. The Arizona Biltmore was the perfect venue for the fine fall setting, just as temperatures were finally dropping. Comedian Craig Shoemaker kept the audience in stitches. Auctioneer Jacqueline Towers-Perkins did a great job execut-
ing an auction and paddle raise. Later, guests mixed and mingled at a fashionable after-party featuring The Hamptons. Everything about this lovely night was absolutely blissful. The belle of the ball was Tyler Mach in shades of periwinkle blue. The Dapper-est Dan: Nick Batterton in a striking tuxedo.

This year the sold-out day started with Bloody Marys and champagne, as guests perused a sprawling silent auction. Then they made their respective
ways into the brunch. A paddle raise and live auction guaranteed that animals in this fine organization will never be homeless. A worthy cause as the Valley continues to grow. Missy Turner stole the day in a smashing fuchsia suit. Her husband Bob Paz arrived and departed in the perfect fall orange loafers. You should have been there!

Collecting Pieces That Outlast Us
By Palmer Saylor, III
Collecting art is something anyone can do, no matter one’s socialeconomical background. There comes an age when the collecting and accumulating slows, then ceases and we start curating our legacy. For many art lovers and collectors, art represents more than decor. It be becomes a way to leave behind something more than assets, debts, and a trust. And in a world where everything seems disposable, works of art can become one of the most enduring gifts one could pass on.
Affluent art lovers have always used art to signal taste, intellect, culture – things money can’t actually buy. Yet today, more collectors are thinking beyond the present moment. Instead of chasing the latest trend, they’re choosing pieces to hand down that represent an affinity for their taste, what they stood for, and the story they want embodied in the form of an heirloom.
The best estate collections share one common: Intention. Every work has a reason to be there. Be it a beloved painting that anchored or sometimes even created a source of contention, a family home for decades, or a sculpture acquired after a life-changing trip abroad. These pieces are tangible milestones and markers on a family tree. Some collections are cohesive while others may be an eclectic collection, spanning genres, styles, movements, and mediums. Either way they bare the collective tastes of a family.
However, legacy requires more than sentiment and taste. It requires some knowledge and a strategy. One common mistake among collectors is assuming their heirs will know the meaning and value of what’s being left behind. In reality, families can be a complex dynamic. The next generation often inherits art the way they inherit old furniture- with a polite smile and a quiet fear of accidentally dropping something or putting a drink on a surface 200 years old worth
five figures. Sadly, without context, even a masterpiece can become a storage piece.
This brings us to liquidity. Some works can stay in the family for generations while others are better as assets. A balanced estate collection includes both: the sentimental and the strategic. A trusted advisor can help determine which pieces are cultural keystones and which are better suited for donation, consignment, or an auction house.
Documentation along with written provenance, collector notes, purchase history, and personal commentary can turn a a cherished heirloom into an investment for another generation. More families are even assembling “legacy binders” , a curated explanations of why each piece mattered. It’s not about broadcasting taste to heirs; it’s about giving them a glimpse into your world and their own rich family history.
The art you pass down says more about your life than your obituary ever will. Your homes, your travels, your passions – they’re all embedded in the brushstrokes, that dinged up painting frame. It’s a testament of that special piece’s acquisition and it’s shared journey through life. Choosing estate art is not an act of acquisition; it’s a collaboration of sorts with the artist themselves.
In a culture obsessed with speed and novelty, legacy preserves art. Art refusing to be forgotten no matter it’s value, genre, significance, or medium. It embodies permanence. And for those who have spent a lifetime cultivating taste by collecting art, it’s an elegant reminder that while none of us last forever, art can endure through our affinity for it.
PACC911 GLIMMER OF HOPE LUNCHEON 2025
Since 1999, PACC911 has been changing the face of pet rescue. This fall the sold-out luncheon proved that if you involve animals, everyone will keep coming back for more. The Camelback Inn welcomed guests. If Tina Lopez and Bari Mears don’t go down in history for their amazing accomplishments, then we don’t know what. Every neglected animal deserves a second chance, and this afternoon proved magical in supporting such a fine cause. Special thanks for the event went to
Valley Toyota Dealers, who auctioned off a Rav4. Presenting sponsors Deanna and Kemp Biddulph were on hand to lend their overwhelming support of the afternoon and the organization, too. What a smashing success yet again. Jenna Ghisolfo arrived in the perfect luncheon dress and eye-catching canary yellow pumps. Markus Ford was the Dapper-est Dan in the room.

THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!
Margo Morrison at Neiman Marcus
What steps led you on the path to becoming a successful jewelry designer?
Aside from having a creative side, I think what has contributed most to my success as a jewelry designer has been my ability to understand the business and maintain a detailed and disciplined practice. You have a rich background which includes being a classical pianist, magazine publisher (Miami Guide to the Arts), interior designer, and actress in TV commercials, among others. Are there any take-aways from these experiences which you have found valuable in your present career?
I think it can all be distilled into one word. Discipline. I seem to have interests that are the opposite of being on a team, so there’s no one to cheer me on when the going gets tough. Sixteen years classical piano training involved a lot of time alone at the piano, focusing on a single passage for hours, or working on a piano concerto over several months, playing the same sections over and over. You have to enjoy what you’re doing, and you have to be disciplined. There was no one standing over me to keep me moving. I had to do it all on my own. And it taught me what I was made of.
Was there a specific inspiration for Margo Morrison jewelry?
Margo: I was inspired by a lariat I saw in the window of a store in Miami Beach, back in 2001. The stones were spaced along a cord and seemed to be suspended. I was just blown away by it. I had taken an adult education jewelry class in NYC a year or so before that. We were given beads and metal wire. I kept thinking how boring it was. There were only so many ways you could stack beads on a wire. I thought, “I have no talent. I can’t think of anything interesting to do with this.” Only after I saw that lariat with the stones spaced apart that my imagination kicked in and I couldn’t wait to get back to NYC to start creating my own designs.
You must love the search for the pearls and gemstones used in your jewelry. What have been some of your best discoveries? The most unusual stones? Do you have a favorite stone? It truly is like being a kid in a candy store. My favorite trip is to Tucson each year, where I do most of my stone and pearl buying. It’s getting more and more difficult to find new and interesting cuts and colors, but I never give up and always find something unique and one of a kind. I’m pretty crazy about labradorite and call it the chameleon of stones. I love the light
inside of it. I absolutely adore tourmaline and have found the thinnest slices of watermelon tourmaline that take my breath away. I tend to love stones that have interest and transparency, not necessarily the ones that are perfect and clean. I like to see inclusions and markings in my stones, and I like to see pitting and marks on my pearls because it means nature had a hand in it and they aren’t artificial.
You describe your jewelry as “feminine with just the right dash of edginess”. Is there a “typical” Margo Morrison customer?
The Margo Morrison customer is someone who has a creative side to her and doesn’t want a “cookie cutter” design that everyone else is wearing. She likes color and she likes interesting combinations of stones and pearls. I can’t say we have a typical customer; the age range is 20-90. We have classic pearl styles with a contemporary twist, and edgy diamond charms and cool, trendy stretch bracelets. I think we have something for everyone.
EVENING OF TRENDS 2025
The Camelback Inn pulled out all the stops for the annual Trends gala a few weeks ago. That night the publication stopped to honor four Fabulous Phoenicians. Chris Bianco (who unfortunately could not attend), Christopher Gross, Mark Tarbell and Vincent Guerithault, we spotlighted for their very quiet and very charitable endeavors. Ten Fashionalities graced the runway. They included Rebecca Fowler, Suzanne Hensing, Jenny Holsman Tetreault, Marcia Jobe, Fran
Mallace, Marcia Meyer, Andrea Robertson, Mary Jane Rynd, Catherine Tuton and Judi Scanlon. After that, guests made their way back to the lobby where everyone one was treated scrumptious treats at an rakish after party. Takeaway gift: the bobble head of Trends Publisher Bill Dougherty, who celebrated his 25th anniversary of the owner of the magazine. Dear God.

Retail Fairytale
By Liz Manville
Once upon a time, nestled in the heart of NYC on west 57th street – just steps from Bergdorf Goodman – stood the ‘cherished trove of chicdom’, Henri Bendel. ‘My’ Bendel experience spanned the late 60s to mid 80s under the exhilarating creative spell of Geraldine Stutz. It was my special haven for retail therapy as long as I can remember and my stomping ground during school breaks and holidays.
In 1957 ‘Gerry’ was lured from I Miller to revamp and revitalize the declining little gem. Her focus was on exclusivity and extraordinary taste. She brought an eclectic, innovative energy to her new ‘kingdom’ generating its magical metamorphosis. Her initial visionary concept was dubbed ‘The Street of Shops’ showcasing Bendel’s exceptional merchandise in a unique way. A marble ‘road’ of resplendent boutiques occupied the entire first floor. Each ‘shop’ featured its own architectural style and one-of-a-kind items. One could find gloves from France; alligator bags or a silk clutch (dyed to match a gown); Bagatelle offered scarves and wraps; the Bijoutier – aglow with fabulous jewelry; and the Gift Shop offering stationery adorned with pressed flowers. The crowning glory was The Milliner featuring custom, handmade hats as well as imports from France and Italy. For the Bendel customer it was a total sen-
sory experience; a cascading water fountain, piped in contemporary music and Bendel’s signature scent wafting through the air. It made for an unparalleled shopping affair unlike any other – The NY Times called it “a serene and beautiful world.”
Gerry spent six months persuading David Crespin “the underground, swinging hairdresser to the stars” to open the ‘David Crespin at Henri Bendel’ salon on the ‘Beauty Floor’ (6th), which was quite a coup! Joseph Pilates, inventor of the eponymous exercise routine, opened his second location also on The Beauty Floor. Pilates devised the method, originally called ‘contrology’ while held captive at the Knockaloe Internment Camp on the Isle of Man during WW1.
A ‘Small Furs’ department featured short leopard capes, belted cougar coats and was the first store in the US to carry the iconic Fendi Furs! ‘Cachet’ carried casual looks for the ‘taxi set’ rather than the ‘station wagon set’.
Other departments included ‘Sentiments’ for perfumes and soaps, ‘The Leg Shop’ for
Gearldine Stutz
Monica Hickley
The Bendel Box
luxurious hosiery, ‘Homewares’ by Frank Macintosh and ‘The Gilded Cage’ for cosmetics.
Geraldine scoured the globe for unknown, talented designers to create the incomparable ‘Bendel Studio Collections’. She amassed the best in the land to design exclusively for her realm. Among her favorite discoveries; Dan Kline, Dick Huebner, Lee Bailey, Viola Sylbert, Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis, Holly Harp, Mary McFadden and Carlos Falchi to name a few!
In Geraldines words the Bendel look was “elegant, chic, but not the last gasp. It is rather, a contemporary, current look – one that plays up the woman herself rather than what she is wearing.” Among her most loyal clients were Princess Grace of Monaco, Pat Kennedy Lawford, Lee Radziwell, Babe Paley, Lauren Bacall and so many other doyennes of New York society. In the 70s everyone from Diana Ross to Bianca Jagger became avid fans.
The window displays by wunderkind Robert Currie were controversial and stunning – drawing crowds every Friday morning for the unveiling of his latest theatrical installation. Geraldine whisked Patricia Peterson (and her genius photographer husband away from The NY Times Fashion Magazine to become her VP of creative advertising. Gosta Peterson loved to photograph models in mundane almost surreal surroundings, his iconic Bendel ads appeared in The NY Times magazine every week. ‘Gus’ was the first to shoot Twiggy in America and the first to shoot a black woman, Naomi Sims, on the cover of a fashion magazine in 1967.
Monica Hickey holds a special place in my most cherished memories of Bendels. She was the legendary director of the venerable ‘Shop for Brides’ located on the fifth floor. On a chilly morning in 1979, Ms. Hickey ushered me into her wondrous world of white confections, each gown more resplendent than the last. Not surprising, I ended up choosing the first gown she had me try – she was that good! The veil was even more spectacular- handmade Alencon lace (it cost more than the dress!) in an interview for The NY Times Monica was quoted “the Bendel Bride has been steadfast in one concept. Her dress had to be romantic, delicate, in perfect taste, streamlined, never frantic.”
After a most productive bridal buying spree, my mother and I waltzed across 57th street into the side entrance of Bergdorfs and Delmons shoe salon. I ordered ivory satin pumps to perfect the look.
Ms Hickey assisted many prominent brides; Amanda Burden, daughter of Babe Paley; Margaret Lindsey, Mayor John Lindsays daughter; Jane Pauley, and Vera Wang who followed in her footsteps. “It became ‘The’ place for all the high society and famous brides”. She created the number 1 bridal destination in the city – her reputation carried such prestige the department was renamed ‘The Bridal World of Monica Hickey’.
Sadly, in the mid 80s, Les Wexner, of Victoria’s Secret and the Limited fame, (and very close friend of Jeffrey Epstein) bought ‘my’ Bendels. He promised Geraldine he would keep the integrity of the store. He lied. Wexler relocated the store to 5th Avenue, did away with the
beloved Christmas Catalog, opened satellite stores in malls (New Jersey and Massachusetts) and did away with clothing altogether! The celebrated windows, so theatrical and refined, were now pornographic and absurd.
In 1374 Chaucer wrote “All good things must come to an end.”
RIP Henri Bendel. You are gone but not forgotten.

PHOENIX HEART BALL 2025
If you were fortunate enough to have attended the Phoenix Heart Ball a few weeks ago, then you’ve probably heard this. Attendees have said it was one of the most remarkable balls in memory. Chairman Pat Watts saw that every detail was taken care of. First, an opulent cocktail reception with passed hors d’ oeuvres and champagne flowed. Soft jazz played in the lobby ballroom of the Phoenician. Afterwards a strolling bagpiper guided merrymakers into the ballroom. It was spectacular. The entire room was draped in dark blue and flora hung from the ceilings on invis -
ible lines. It was breathtaking! Lobster salad, filet minion and chocolate hazelnut mousse rounded out the night. By this time, the entire room was dancing to the sounds of the orchestra. An after party back in lobby concluded the night. Tons and tons of hot snacks and cookies were available for the taking. Everyone swooned! Belle of the ball: Jordan Rose in emerald green. Dapper Dan: Justin Young, dashing in a great tuxedo. You should have been there!

SOMETHING DIFFERENT
• The bride’s twin older brothers officiated the couple’s wedding ceremony
• The first flower the groom bought the bride was an orchid, which is why they incorporated orchids throughout the wedding day
• The couple had 3 flower girls and 3 ring bearers, all of whom were the bride and groom’s nieces, nephews, and cousins
