As part of an ongoing effort to create partnerships with luxury brands that share a vision for corporate social responsibility, the Blue Water Spa by Peter Coppola will host its second “Evening of” event series to benefit Save The Children. An “Evening of Luxury,” featuring a Holiday Fashion Show by Bill Blass New York, will be co-sponsored by Fairfield Motor Cars and The Inn at National Hall. All new 2008 Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Porsche models will be showcased at the event as part of Fairfield Motor Cars’ strategic partnership with Peter Coppola Salon and Blue Water Spa.

The event will be held on Thursday, October 18, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Blue Water Spa, located at 20 Wilton Road in Westport. Please R.S.V.P. to 203.454.8600.

Guests will enjoy exotic hors d'oeuvres provided by Acqua Restaurant Ristorante Mediterraneo of Westport, Connecticut, complemented by OOPS fine wine.

“We feel very fortunate to be aligned with such global luxury brands and to be able to give back to our local community in a meaningful way through our continued support of Save The Children,” said Vincent Palumbo, owner of the Peter Coppola Salon and Blue Water Spa. This is the second event hosted at the salon and spa this year to benefit Save The Children, also headquartered in Westport.

The highlight of the evening, a fashion show featuring selections from the Bill Blass New York Holiday 2007 Collection, will be presented by local Bill Blass New York Consultant, Colleen Bushby. In creating this Collection, designer Jose Solis was inspired by the great Paul Poiret and Madeleine Vionnet and their use of exotic color and modern silhouettes. The fashion show will feature contemporary sportswear, career dressing, as well as luxurious evening wear. The line is available exclusively through Bill Blass New York consultants and is not available at local retail stores. “I am extremely grateful to have an opportunity to showcase the line at the Peter Coppola Salon and Blue Water Spa to an audience that appreciates quality and timeless style,” Bushby said. “I am also thrilled to be able to donate 10% of the proceeds from all Bill Blass New York sales that evening to Save The Children.”

According to event co-sponsor, Randall Seymore, Area Vice President, Connecticut, Penske Automotive Group, “We are pleased to have this wonderful opportunity to continue to align with global luxury brands such as ours in the spirit of giving back to our community.”

The Inn at National Hall marketing director, Janine Ziegler, added, “It is a natural fit for us to sponsor an event of this caliber and we’re confident that it will have a positive business impact for everyone involved.”
