Last night, Max Mara celebrated their recent Miami Design District opening by hosting an in-store event in collaboration with the National YoungArts Foundation. Guests were invited to shop the Max Mara Spring/Summer 2015 collection, with 20% of the evening’s proceeds going to the foundation.
Established in 1981, the National YoungArts Foundation aims to support the next generation of artists by investing in the development of talented young artists in the visual, literary, design, and performing arts. The foundation has honored more than 20,000 young artists with over $6 million in monetary awards, provided $150 million in college scholarship opportunities, and has enabled members to work with some of the most distinguished artists in the world. Notable YoungArts alumni include Viola Davis, Adrian Grenier, Kerry Washington, Vanessa Williams, Nicki Minaj, Josh Groban, and many more.
Miami VIPs and YoungArts Foundation supporters enjoyed complimentary cocktails and delicious hors d’oeuvres with live DJ entertainment. The luxury brand and foundation hope to host many more events together in the near future.
