We have partnered with The Academy of Art University and Union Square's SF in Bloom to create a truly memorable tribute to Halston and to promote the great City of San Francisco and Union Square shopping. 

​

This event includes a complete student floral design challenge, culminating with a

VIP Reception at The Top of the Mark, a Bentley procession to the red carpet on Union Square,

a Plein Air Fashion Show, and award of a substantial scholarship prize, 

made possible through the generosity of 

THE NANDO AND ELSA PERETTI FOUNDATION

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to encourage young artists and support

San Francisco and SF in Bloom!​​
