THE PARTY More than 1,000 people turned out for Passport to Luxury, a perfectly posh evening of chic boutique shopping that was part of Shop a Le‘a, Ala Moana Center’s weeklong shopping and fashion festival. Attendees indulged in tasty bites and cocktails while scooping up the stores’ one-night-only offers. THE HIGHLIGHTS In-the-know invitees hit up the stores, getting their passports stamped for the much-awaited raffle for luxury products. In-store silent auctions featured coveted sacks from Michael Kors, Emporio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Prada, Miu Miu, Fendi, Bally and Bulgari, as well as a stay in a deluxe suite at the Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk. All proceeds from the silent auction went to the Kapi‘olani Health Foundation, The Campaign for Hawai‘i’s Children.
