~I was reading "Suzy" in W magazine and this was part of the Febuary column.
Guess who is the new chairman of New York's Queen Sophia Spanish Institute? Break out the guitars, click your castanets and stamp your heels because it's Oscar de la Renta, Senor Simpatico himself, who will take over from Fernando Aleu, who has been chairman of the institute with amazing success for almost 40 years.
The glourious tidings were relayed to one and all at the institute's annual Gold Medal Gala in the Plaza ballroom by HRH the Infanta Dona Cristina, the daughter of the King and Queen of Spain-attractive and tall, she has inherited the tremendous charm of her mother and father- and her husband His Excellancy Inaki Urdangarin. Their other titles are the Duke and Duchess of Palma de Mallorca.
The Infanta hung this year's gold medals on the noted Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava and the renowned American architect Richard Meir, who loves Spain as much as Spain loves him, not least for his Mueseum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona. They were both honored for their promotion of Spanish culture and influence it has had and continues to have in the Americas.
Among those celebrating were the famous heart doctor Valentin Fuster; Immaculada de Habsburgo, the president and CEO of the institute; John Brademas; Evylen Lauder; Reinaldo Herrera y mas y mas y mas.
~There was also a really nice picture of Cristina and Inaki that I think was taken at Frederik and Mary's wedding.
