Triple-digit temperatures did not thwart the celebration or prevent the prosecco from flowing at an intimate dinner and presentation hosted by C, designer Ohara Davies-Gaetano, and Italian accessory-maker Tod’s on Oct. 24 in honor of South Coast Plaza’s 50th anniversary.  Guests including C Fashion Director Alison Edmond, fashion writer Brittany Xavier and South Coast Plaza Managing Partner Anton Segerstrom, enjoyed a presentation of select looks from Tod’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection, which included saddlery-inspired trenches and outerwear, structured totes, and new takes on their signature driving shoe, at the brand’s South Coast Plaza boutique, before making their way upstairs and outside to South Coast Plaza’s Garden Terrace for a candlelit dinner.  Sweltering nighttime temperatures did not detract from the magical table settings, courtesy of White Lilac, which brimmed with fresh tulips. Guests enjoyed an Italian-inspired menu of Insalata Stagionale, Italian risotto and Chilean Seabass from Quattro Cafe, all while raising a glass to South Coast Plaza’s golden anniversary. 3333 Bristol St., C.M., 714-556-0239; tods.com.
