SANDRA SIMONATO BLEI: M.A.D. preview sale

reporter: Miguel Dominguez

It was while covering the Suzanne Tucker book signing event earlier in November, that I met Elaine Taylor-Gordon, owner of Flashforce LLC. When I complemented her on the beautiful necklace she was wearing, she informed me it was designed by her Milanese friend Sandra Simonato Blei, who was coming to New york in order to introduce her new jewelry collection at the Museum of Arts and Design (MAD).

Then Elaine invited me to come and cover her event honoring Sandra in a few days hence, November 14th to be precise, when she would be arranging a private, women only, networking get together, that would be offering for sale some Sandra's pieces from her extensive collection.
