PALM BEACH, FL
- The House of Faith and Fashion hosted a high
tea fashion event with internationally renowned designers
Mark Badgley and James Mischka at the new
Badgley Mischka store in Palm Beach. The afternoon
kicked off with an entertaining and informative discussion
with The House of Faith and Fashion’s founder and
creative director Tobi Rubinstein Schneier, Mark
Badgley and James Mischka, followed by a personal
preview presentation of the designers’ 2010 spring
collection.
The event was hosted by
Donna Schneier Goldberg, Bonnie Katz, Marilyn Katz and
Andrea Stark. Tobi, Mark and James discussed
the influence of faith on fashion and of fashion on faith,
in front of a captivated audience including Iris Apfel,
Marlene Strauss, Charlene Nederlander, Diane Goldman, Joan
Genser, Terri Schottenstein and Lorraine Malasky.
Mark and James shared anecdotal insights with
Tobi and her guests, and divulged about their
thoughts on the best dressed and most glamorous women today,
including Catherine Zeta Jones, whom they feel is the
epitome of old Hollywood glamour.
Afterwards, guests were
privy to a preview of the Badgley Mischka new spring
collection presented by the designers themselves. Proceeds
from the event and the following week benefitted
Morselife, a nationally recognized provider of
healthcare, housing and support services for seniors and
their families in Palm Beach County.
The brainchild of
founder and creative director Tobi Rubinstein Schneier,
The House of Faith and Fashion will host a national series
of inspiring conversations about the balance between the
spiritual and material worlds. Aimed to embody style,
substance and spirituality, the series will ask, “Is Fashion
a Faith?” “Is Faith Fashionable?” The series will explore
these questions and more and provide insight into the
intertwining of faith and fashion. The events will also
benefit a selection of philanthropic organizations
associated with The Hampton Synagogue, The New York
Synagogue and The Palm Beach Synagogue. Tobi
has enjoyed an illustrious career with over 30 years
experience in the fashion industry, working with many high
profile companies such as Victoria’s Secret, Baby Phat,
Kmart and Ecko. Tobi founded The House
of Faith and Fashion to combine her diverse fashion
experience with her role as an active partner in the works
of her husband Rabbi Marc Schneier, who is one of the
most influential Jewish leaders of this century.
