Location: Roberto Cavalli at River Oaks District
The Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston and Karina Barbieri held a pre-gala kick-off party at Roberto Cavalli in River Oaks District. Guests were treated to the exciting new Pre-Fall 2016 Cavalli Collection. The Cavalli Boutique donated 15% of all event night sales to the Institute of Hispanic Culture of Houston. The I.H.C.H is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with more than 50 years in Houston. Their mission is to preserve the rich hispanic culture in our community. A lot of the hard work and dedication come from the I.H.C.H president who is George Dias and their executive director Lia Tusanotte.
The gala chairs and kick off hosts were Carlos and Karina Barbieri. The event was to honor Dr. Rima de Vallbona. They had beautiful live music, lots of light bites and champagne being popped throughout the evening. going on with a wonderful saxophonist. Guests were treated to wonderful swag bags from Cavalli upon exiting. Great evening!!
Be sure to save the date for their upcoming gala on October 7th!
