This year’s The Phillips Collection’s Gala After Hours took place at the Italian Embassy and was appropriately themed LA DOLCE VITA, designed by architect Piero Sartogo to invoke a Tuscan villa. The well-dressed crowd enjoyed Italian savories and sweets, an espresso bar, classic martinis, a Ducati fleet, a DJ Set by DJ Michaelangelo L’Acqua and modern midnight bocce ball.
But lets face it, you are here to see what everyone wore/if you and yours made it into the photo set, so enjoy the great photos by Elizabeth Parker.
