THE EVENT Discerning shoppers gathered to raise money for Czech supermodel Petra Nemcova’s Happy Hearts Fund, which was founded to raise money for children in need in South East Asia. The fund focuses on those affected by the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand in which Nemcova was herself a victim while vacationing with her boyfriend who did not survive. THE SCENE Petra showed a video and then gave a touching speech on how she came to realize life is precious because any moment can be our last. THE GUESTS Petra Nemcova, Mike and Neda Noorani, Katie Rost, Mariella Trager and the Nicaraguan Ambassador’s wife Analia Stadthagen, amongst others.
