SFLuxe gets easily lost when venturing south of San Francisco. Our two main reference points are Susan of Burlingame and Neiman Marcus of Stanford. Anything else, and it’s just not on our radar.

We were pleased to see that some of our favorite people have the Palo Alto Neiman Marcus on their radar as well. Recently some Silicon Valley stylemakers (such as Orkut Buyukkokten, Jini Kim, Derek Holbrook, shown above) stopped by the store for a preview of the Oscar de la Renta Fall 2008 collection.

The event was held by the San Francisco Symphony Opening Gala Committee and Gala Chairman Karen Jung.

The San Francisco Symphony’s 2008 Opening Gala won’t take place until Wednesday, September 3 (it will feature Michael Tilson Thomas conducting the San Francisco Symphony acclaimed pianist Yefim Bronfman), but when it comes to fashion, these folks plan far in advance.
