The country’s best party hosts have been crowned.
Entertaining web site The Salonniere has named the 100 best

Witherspoon, Solange Knowles, Lela Rose and more earning
honors. Witherspoon and Knowles are among the new class of
honorees, joining Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford and Rande
Gerber, Amy Virginia Buchanan, Patrick Janelle and Kiyomi
Buker, social secretary to the Ambassador of Japan, on the first

The annual list highlights 100 honorees from 34 cities and 28
states who “share one common trait: an exceptional ability to
leverage the power of parties to enhance the lives of others,” the
site says.
“We love putting together the Salonniere 100 list every year,”
says Carla McDonald, the site’s founder and editor in chief. “It’s
a time-intensive, nationwide selection process, but it represents
our collective sense of purpose and passion. For 2018, we spent
six months talking to more than 1,000 local contacts and
authorities whom we’ve come to know as in-the-know experts,
including journalists, philanthropists, not-for-profit fundraisers,
social luminaries, as well as cultural and business leaders.”
“The Salonniere 100 honors those who really enjoy getting
people together and harnessing the power of parties to enhance
other people’s lives — and to add value to the community while
they’re doing it,” McDonald continues. “That doesn’t mean
we’re looking for people who throw the most parties or the
biggest or most expensive parties — although some on the list
do host grand events that raise a lot of money for important
local and national charities. But the list also celebrates honorees
who throw intimate, informal dinner parties to encourage
meaningful conversation and gather people together to meet
outside their usual social circles. At the end of the day, it’s all
about the 100 best party-givers in America, the 100 men and

A Helmut Newton exhibit has bowed at the Turin
Contemporary Art Museum. “Spanning more
than five decades, the work of Helmut Newton
defies categorization,” said curator Matthias
Harder, director of the German foundation.
“Newton transcended genres, bringing elegance,
style and voyeurism to fashion, beauty and
glamour photography for an oeuvre that remains
as inimitable as it is unrivaled.” Harder selected
68 works starting from the Seventies onward,
which range from Newton’s advertising
campaigns for Thierry Mugler (seen here) and
Mario Valentino, his editorial shoots for fashion
magazines and his powerful portraits of the likes
of Paloma Picasso (1983), Catherine Deneuve
(1976) and Anita Ekberg (1988). Report:@luisazargani — #wwdeye #helmutnewton
