'Forty years went by like that,' said Dennis Basso at his 40th Anniversary showing at New York Fashion Week held at The Pierre, A Taj Hotel ballroom. Kris Jenner, Candace Bushnell, Dee Ocleppo, wife of Tommy Hilfiger, Kelly Bensimon, and Martha Stewart, who handed a bouquet to the designer at the end of his show, were all there to celebrate him. For his Spring/Summer 2023 collection, he dedicated it to evening wear. It captures the mood of being on a beautiful garden terrace or patio on a summer evening, like in Newport and Bel Air.
