Young Women’s Alliance Designers + Models Meet and Greet at Quattro Gatti
I’ll be honest: I attended for the models. As a columnist who depends on party pictures to adorn the Thursday edition of this column, I sometimes need subjects who are made to pose. I was not disappointed Tuesday at Quattro Gatti Ristorante on Congress Avenue.
Lindsey White and Kodi Dittmann
I actually spent much more time with the designers, cooks and their companions at this Young Women’s Alliance event. Friday, this group reassembles for its Fashion Evolution show at the Driskill Hotel. This preview party proved enormously helpful for the media, who often lose the news in the crush at big style events.
Linda Asaf and Connie Bakonyi
I spoke with a man from Salerno, Italy who appeared to be the pater familias for Quattro Gatti family. He said he had cooked for the pope and the United Nations. Might make a zingy column profile some day.
Brian J. Miller and Rachelle Briton
Chatted with Austin designers Linda Asaf and Rachelle Briton, who were delightful. Also took a “party pitch” from Briton’s fiance, Brian J. Miller, who is entering the field of public relations. What’s a party pitch? It’s like an elevator pitch — short, to the point, but playful, fun, since you are both at a social event.
