His appearance is made possible by the generosity of Trend, a division of Fabricut, one of the world’s largest distributors of decorative fabrics for design trade professionals. Trend collaborates with Yip to create an eclectic and inviting collection of fabrics, trimmings and wallcoverings that are available through the Drapery Street and The Trade Resource showrooms at the IDC.
Following the program, guests will enjoy a cocktail reception unveiling elegant tabletop displays decorated by the state’s leading interior designers.

Proceeds from ticket, book and raffle sales will benefit the Art Therapy Program at Riley Hospital for Children through a donation to the Riley Children’s Foundation. “We are excited to partner with the IDC for the LUXE Design Showcase and highlight the powerful connection between art, creative expression and healing that we see each day at Riley Hospital for Children,” says Pamela Fairchild-Clark, senior major gifts officer for the foundation.
