On a beautiful Manhattan night, Gilt.com and the CFDA gathered to celebrate their inaugural All-Star Scholarship Winner, Kieran Dallison, and his debut collection, which is being sold exclusively on Gilt.com. Guests mingled in the lovely No. 9 space at the Mondrian Hotel on Crosby Street, sipping Stoli vodka Gilt Gimlets and nibbling on tasty bites like mini lobster rolls and tuna tartare.

The scholarship’s esteemed judging panel of fashion stars, including Harper’s Bazaar Editor-in-Chief Glenda Bailey, and designers and CFDA members Stacey Bendet of Alice + Olivia and Prabal Gurung, admired the young designer’s collection, which was modeled presentation-style. Eight looks from the collection, ranging from cut-out rompers to slinky jersey dresses, were styled with architectural jewelry by The Stones and Modern Vintage ankle-strap heels.

Kieran Dallison’s debut collection goes on sale on Gilt.com exclusively on June 8 at noon ET.

Go Behind the Scenes of Gilt’s Fun Photoshoot at DVF’s Gorgeous NYC Showroom!

Not only has Diane von Furstenberg created one of the most iconic garments in modern history with her famed wrap dress — she’s also created one of the most recognizable spaces in Manhattan with her combination store-studio-private residence on the corner of w. 14th Street and Washington Avenue in the Meatpacking District.

So we were thrilled when we were invited to shoot inside the 5,000-square-foot space for our upcoming DVF sale on Gilt.com! Designed by WORK Architecture, the centerpiece of the studio is the “stairdelier,” a stunning design made of Swarovski crystals that fills the entire white space with sparkling light.

Another highlight of the space is von Furstenberg’s art collection, which is so packed with important works that it has even gone on a global tour courtesy of Pace Gallery.

Our amazing creative team loved shooting in the space and pairing the designer’s fabulous clothing with her equally fabulous space. Click through our behind-the-scenes mini-magazine above, and then shop the Diane von Furstenberg sale — featuring everything from clothing to shoes to handbags to swim to luggage — on April 26, at noon ET, on Gilt.com.

Gilt Heads South for a Wine Tour, Miami-Style

Last week we headed down south with our founder Alexandra Wilkis Wilson for an amazing event at Soho Beach House in celebration of the kickoff of the Miami social season.

Along with some of our stylish South Florida members, we kicked things off by relaxing on a pool deck overlooking the white sand beaches, and sipping rosé and Sauvignon Blanc from Blackbird Vineyards and Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley.

In true Miami style, we lingered over cocktails longer than expected and we were late sitting down to dinner. When we finally found our seats, Alexandra welcomed all the guests and talked about her strong ties to Miami, which got a big round of applause.

Next, winery owner Michael Polenske gave us a mini-tutorial on all the wines we were going to be tasting that night; two wines with each course! Then it was time for an amazing dinner, Miami-style. Needless to say, we had a fabulous time in South Florida—and luckily, Art Basel is only a couple months away. We can’t wait to go back!
