Pat Murphy of The Sentinel, with noted photographer Jason Steinberg, takes us into an exclusive party at the Pacific Heights penthouse of Asim and Isha Abdullah, hosted in preparation for the upcoming July 9th fashion show that Nordstrom is throwing to benefit the Raphael House.

Invitations for this year’s event at the Fort Mason Herbst Pavillion have already gone out, and we’re told tickets are moving quickly. If you haven’t received your invite, contact Nordstrom’s at (415) 345-7262.

The cocktail party a the Abdullah residence was lovely — not only for the great company (we’re always so happy to see Lisa Grotts, Sophie Azouaou, Claudia Ross, Clara Shayevich, Lisa Alexander, Charisse Nash and others), but for the magical views from the apartment, which is widely regarded as one of the premier residences in San Francisco. Go over to the Sentinel and see it all for yourself!
