For over 20 years my father owned a custom design & tailoring shop in Prospect Heights Brooklyn, NY. A hub of creativity, which became popular for its unique and bespoke pieces.

The Gala shone a spotlight on some extraordinary women and civic leaders such as Elaine Brodsky and Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez.
