Recently, Bruno Jamais and Katherine M. Rothman, CEO of KMR Communications - and a group of hundreds of their closest pals in the media, socialites, event planners & A-listers - celebrated the fifth anniversary of Monsieur Bruno's eponymous Upper East Side eatery.
The restaurant was transformed into an art gallery for the evening featuring the works of French Artist Cyrille Margarit whose celebrity clients and subjects have included Russell Simons, Ivana Trump, Madonna, and Bruce Willis. All guests had the opportunity to enter a raffle featuring five luxury prizes including a $25,000 necklace courtesy of Suz Andreasen Couture, a $5,000 gift certificate Bradford Rowley Portraits, David Yurman Cufflinks, a Cole Haan handbag, and a case of Chateau Guillaume Red Wine courtesy of Bruno Jamais Restaurant. $1,600 was raised through the raffle and 100% of all proceeds will benefit the charity RiverKeeper.org. At the end of the evening, all guests left with goody bags from Parisian skincare company Sothys.
VIPS who enjoyed the party included: Czech Republic Trade Commissioner Thomas Hart, Court TV Hollywood Heat Reporter Lynne White, Fox Five Chief Meteorologist Nick Gregory, Arthur Backal, CEO of Backal Hospitality Group, socialites Annabel Vartanian and Kristian Laliberte, music impresario Charles Huggins, La Goulue Restaurant's general manager Steven Jauffrineau and his wife Maiwenn, Jay Friedlander founder of Carbon NYC, and Chic TV reporter Marlie Hall.
