WHITE SATIN & SKI SWEATERS

When the long awaited Fontainbleau Las Vegas opened earlier this month, it was attended by legends and icons of sport, music, property, fashion and style. Amongst the VIP guests at the launch – which was designed and coordinated by Miami-based event maestro Colin Cowie – were Kim Kardashian, Sly Stallone, Jessica Biel, Axel Rose, Tommy Hilfiger, Cher, Justin Timberlake, Ivanka Trump, Tom Brady, Kendall Jenner and Lenny Kravitz. However, one person stood out amongst the celebrated crowd – fashion designer Alexa Leigh (below, left), wife of Brett Mufson who is President & CIO of Fontainebleau Development. In her white/ivory gown by Dennis Basso and with her hair in a casual up-do, Alexa was the epitome of cool elegance – the ultimate ambassador, both for her own brand and the resort itself…

There were too many ‘favourite moments’ from the evening to choose just one; however I think watching my husband Brett on stage announcing Paul Anka was probably the best!”
