When I reach into what used to be the trick or treat candy stockpile and the only thing I can retrieve is a mini bag of Skittles and a single Starburst fruit chew, I know intuitively that, like it or not, the holiday season is once again upon us. And while this is a joyful season, filled with friends and celebration, gifts and galas, it is also a time for reflection and renewal, a time to share our good fortune with others who need our help.
Irwin and I love to entertain and over the years, we have developed quite a reputation for hosting wonderful get-togethers, dinners and events. Whether in the city, the country, the gallery, or an event space, our guests always look forward to seeing what innovative design techniques Irwin utilizes to create the perfect environment for the occasion.
So, when Irwin was invited to participate in the 2nd annual HOLIDAY HOUSE, a Designer Tabletop Show to benefit The Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, he immediately accepted. What better way to celebrate the season with friends, family and community, than to share his passion while supporting such a vital cause.
Founded in 1982, Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, is dedicated to education and research about causes, treatment, and the search for a cure for Breast Cancer. This year alone, about 192,370 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed in American women (American Cancer Society, Cancer Facts and Figures 2009. Atlanta, GA: American Cancer Society, 2009.), and each and one of us knows someone who has been affected by this disease.
Irwin, along with design colleague, Jolie Korek will be offering day and evening interpretations of one of our most cherished national holidays, Independence Day. Irwin, promising to be true to form, will expand horizons and challenge perceptions while putting a new twist on the traditional red, white and blue celebration.
There will be no shortage of creativity at HOLIDAY HOUSE this year: Irwin and Jolie will be sharing the house with other design notables including Jamie Drake, Charles Pavarini III and Bunny Williams.
So, please mark your calendars, and plan to visit HOLIDAY HOUSE 2009, and share this joyous season with Irwin and the design community. Become inspired and help to inspire others.
