Event Style Award Winners   EVENT REPORT   06.16.09 3:20 PM Friends of the High Line Toast Park Opening With Balloon-Filled Benefit Friends of the High Line's inflatable decor Photo: Roger Dong for BizBash Yesterday as the fashion set—designers, industry heavies like Fern Mallis, and celebrities—whiled away the night uptown at Alice Tully Hall for the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards, another crowd descended on Pier Sixty for the Friends of the High Line summer benefit. The gala dinner, a fund-raiser now in its ninth year, represented a significant moment for the Friends of the High Line: Last Tuesday, the once-derelict elevated railroad in west Chelsea finally opened as a public park, the culmination of a decade worth of grass-roots campaigning. To commemorate the occasion, the nonprofit honored board members Edward Norton and Lisa Marie and Philip Falcone and hosted a Calvin Klein Collection-sponsored after-party on the High Line itself, the first major event to be held in the park. For the 1,000 guests, including Danny DeVito, Parks Commissioner Adrian Benepe, Debbie Harry, and other local philanthropists, the organization's co-founders, Joshua David and Robert Hammond, looked to Desi Santiago to dress the Chelsea Piers space with appropriately celebratory decor. (Board member Bronson van Wyck had designed the event for the past eight years, but declined to return to that post this go-round. He is expected back next year.)
