Modern Luxury Hawai‘i was pleased to partner with Neiman Marcus, First Hawaiian Bank and the Howard Hughes Corporation for the inaugural Art of Giving black tie affair at Neiman Marcus. The evening kicked off with a cocktail reception complete with Hanaiali‘i Tiny Bubbles sparkling wine, plus a Dena Kemp trunk show. Later, guests feasted on a luxe five-course dinner prepared by Mariposa executive chef Lawrence Nakamura, paired with fine Jackson Family wines selected by local-born Master Sommelier and Certified Wine Educator Michael Jordan. Guests were also invited to bid on unique art collaborations featuring the talents of renowned artists Yvonne Cheng, Joe Hahn, Kelly Sueda and Jasper Wong. To close out the night, award-winning musician Amy Hanaiali‘i Gilliom treated the crowd to her velvety jazz vocals. A portion of the proceeds from the evening benefitted the Honolulu Museum of Art.
