On March 6 at The Gables Antiques on Miami Circle, AH&L held its first annual 20 under 40 party, which honored three years of up-and-coming talents recognized in our March 2006, 2007 and 2008 issues. And what a turnout! Our RSVP tally settled around 120, but there must have been nearly 200 guests in attendance at The Gables, where the see-and-be-seen was at an all-time high. With Champagne, decadent hors’d oeuvres and desserts—with catering by Tony Conway’s A Legendary Event—it was a party that we—and our friends in the design community—will surely be raving about for weeks to come. Photo roundup below:
