To launch her new collection, socialite and handbag designer CeCe Cord hosted a southern-style party at Bergdorf Goodman that highlighted her Louisiana roots, with a performance by swamp rock musician C. C. Adcock and the Gumbo Ya-Yas, and food reminiscent of New Orleans’ French Quarter. Following the event, Cord and Bergdorf Goodman made a donation to the Animal Medical Center.
