San Francisco’s finest descended upon Dolce & Gabanna’s newest boutique on Wednesday in anticipation of the 2016 Mid Winter Gala; An annual black tie affair that the fashion house has long supported, benefiting the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. The stately flagship—accented in plush velvet drapery—served as the perfect backdrop for a pre-gala celebration, where the Bay Area’s most notable patrons sipped on Champagne while mingling in the opulent new storefront. Dede Wilsey, along with Mid Winter Gala Honorary Co-Chairs Vanessa Getty and Trevor Traina, welcomed guests Mayor Willie Brown, Denise Hale and more to toast the forthcoming event of the season.
