Would it surprise you to know that Bill de Blasio is tied in to the world of fashion? Well don't be surprised. The new mayor's friendship with Gabrielle Fialkoff spans many years.
Fialkoff is COO of Haskell Jewels and handled inauguration duties for the city's new mayor. In a recent interview with Fashion Week Daily, she gave more details about the big event.
Ms. Fialkoff wanted the inauguration to reflect the open platform that the mayor ran on. No demographic would be excluded and it wouldn't be an event for the elite.
All New York residents were given access to affordable tickets and had the opportunity to see the live City Hall inauguration in person if they were willing to brave the cold.
Another 7,000 people visited Gracie Mansion that Sunday for an Open House event planned by Fialkoff. This hadn't been done in nearly 50 years, but the entire offering was well received since tickets sold out just several hours after they went on sale.
While Gabrielle is firmly rooted in the fashion world, she has historical roots in politics, having raised funds in the past. Their history spans a couple of decades as a result, including some support during his run for city council in 2001.
She also helped Hillary Clinton during her run for Senate before deciding to shift her focus to Haskell, a family business with great growth prospects.
In her interview, Fialkoff spoke to the pleasure of planning something that she firmly believed in, not to mention the added perk of helping out an old friend.
It seems like New Yorkers agree too. The social media world was abuzz with praise about the unique opportunity to see everything in person.
