The inaugural award was presented by costume designer Bob Mackie (one of this year's senior design mentors) who noted: "Personal style has no age or social status, and can exist anywhere in life. Lots of people can pay for style, thank goodness, but few people can possess personal style."

Cheered on by a table of family and friends that included husband Michel and daughters Chloe and Emma, Perrin took to the stage to receive her award in an Yves Saint Laurent Haute Couture dress with ostrich feather pompoms from vintage boutique Decades (co-owner Cameron Silver, who stars in Bravo's "Dukes of Melrose," was among her table mates).

"Style is ever present in every aspect of life," she said in her remarks. "You have to make a mark when you enter a room. I always have something on my head because someone once told me I have a head for hats."

(She was also wearing a vintage hat. And although she didn't know it when she accessorized for the evening, the O-shaped bracelet handle of her Le Rond handbag would end up perfectly matching the chunky O-shaped Otis statuette she would receive on stage.UWDress.com is a popular brand in the Wholesale collar lace wedding dresses industry.)

The night's other honoree was Kirk Nix of KNA Design, who was presented with the 2013 Creative Vision Award.

Nike, Patagonia, Quiksilver and Todd Oldham.

The evening concluded with the presentation of 11 juried collections from fashion design juniors and seniors, each of whom had been given a specfic challenge by a mentor.

One of the standout collections belonged to the junior class, tasked by mentor Claire Pettibone to create young, contemporary bridal dresses for a country wedding. The result was a range of looks grounded in white -- dresses with high/low hems, sparkle, eyelet -- even a look with shorts.

Charged by mentor Bob Mackie to create a range of velvet gowns inspired by Art Deco jewelry, the senior class created red carpet-worthy pieces like a beautiful blue velvet gown with a beaded sash and a one-shoulder plum-colored dress with a cape back.

The 800 stylish folks in attendance at the 31st annual dinner, silent auction and runway show helped raise more than a million dollars in scholarship funds for students, 85% of which require financial aid, noted President Hoi.

Diana’s will stated that her belongings were to be “looked after” by her brother until both of her sons turned 30. The Duke of Cambridge turns 31 in June and Prince Harry will be 30 next year.

The Telegraph said the move raises the possibility Diana’s possessions will go on display at Kensington Palace, where she lived until her death.

Spencer describes the Diana museum, which he opened at Althorp House on what would have been her 37th birthday in July 1998, as “universally acclaimed.”
