Hotel Couture

When the St. Vincent Foundation debuted their new signature fundraising event, the IV Party, last spring, they set a new standard with the party’s style, elegance and amazing atmosphere. For the second annual IV Party, Little Rock designer Tobi Fairley, of T. Lamarr Interiors and Fine Art, has collaborated with event planner and Arkansas native Todd Bagwell of Delaney T. Bagwell & Associates in New York City to create an event that is both visually stunning and fashion forward.

For this year’s beach-inspired rooftop bash on the St. Vincent campus, Tobi aims to create a look she describes as “ Miami chic.” With drinks, dancing, delectable food and entertainment by the Emerald City Band to enjoy, guests will be blown away by the crisp, cool hotel vibe the designers will create inside the tent. “We wanted the feel of some of the fabulous beach hotels, like the Delano in South Beach,” Tobi says. With designer Kelly Wearstler’s work as their muse, Tobi and Todd will fill the space with an impossibly chic, yet decidedly lighthearted atmosphere.

Beyond the good times, the IV Party is essential, because the money raised goes to support the St. Vincent Foundation in its mission to provide St. Vincent Health system with the resources its hospitals, clinics and community outreach programs need.

Scheduled for Saturday, May 3, the main event will begin at 8:30 p.m., and tickets are available for $150 per person. But for $500 per person, you can be a part of the exclusive VIP party beginning at 7:00. To reserve your own spot, visit the IV Party Web site at stvincenthealth.com/ivparty.
