When you think of Bill de Blasio and his industry of focus, the political world is obviously the first thing that comes to mind. Get this though - NYC's mayor also has firm ties to Gabrielle Fialkoff, a powerful jewelry magnate.
Fialkoff is COO of Haskell Jewels and handled inauguration duties for the city's new mayor. In a recent interview with Fashion Week Daily, she gave more details about the big event.
Ms. Fialkoff wanted the inauguration to reflect the open platform that the mayor ran on. No demographic would be excluded and it wouldn't be an event for the elite.
The event itself took place on January 1st, 2014. Tickets were available to all New Yorkers, a unique offering that hadn't been done in many years. All of this took place on the steps of City Hall.
Four days later, another event took place at his Gracie Mansion home. This was a ticketed open house event that was available to all New York residents and over 7,000 of them ended up attending the sold out event.
If the idea of someone in the jewelry industry planning these festivities seems weird, it shouldn't. Gabrielle Fialkoff worked in politics for many years before assuming her COO helm at Haskell. She helped the mayor campaign for a few races, including his run for City Council in 2001.
She also helped Hillary Clinton during her run for Senate before deciding to shift her focus to Haskell, a family business with great growth prospects.
In her interview, Fialkoff spoke glowingly about the execution of these two celebrations. They were everything she had hoped for.
It seems like New Yorkers agree too. The social media world was abuzz with praise about the unique opportunity to see everything in person.
