A Secret Valentine's Shopping Event

Margo Manhattan welcomed guests to her store for a Secret Valentine's Shopping Event sponsored by Altaneve, a popular Prosecco wine brand. Those in attendance enjoyed champagne, chocolates and the opportunity to preview her jewelry collections on Monday, February 10, 2014.

Celebrity guests in attendance included Nicole Miller (fashion designer), Ramona Singer (RHONY), Jean Shafiroff (philanthropist), Lucia Hwong Gordon (socialite), and Christopher Pape, (Editor-in-Chief of Resident Magazine), among others.

While guests enjoyed their Valentine's-themed goodies they watched footage from Margo Manhattan's most recent collaboration with famed fashion designer Nicole Miller.

The two designers paired together for Nicole Miller's showing of her Fall 2014 collection on Friday, February 7, 2014 during New York Fashion Week. Nicole Miller's fall 2014 collection evoked a tribal yet luxurious feeling through a mixture of different textures and textile patterns. Margo Manhattan's collection featured chunky, dangly black earrings and long, layered necklaces that were made especially for the show. Pieces from the Margo Manhattan for Nicole Miller collection will be available soon.
