One of the most exclusive parties during Vision Expo East 2023 was hosted by De Rigo Rem in coordination with Porsche Design to welcome and introduce Porsche Design to the U.S. market. More than 120 guests filled the stylish Elsie Rooftop to welcome this iconic line’s return to the U.S. market. Executives from both Porsche Design and De Rigo were both in attendance, as well as several of De Rigo Rem’s clients. But by far the most famous guest of the evening was Porsche Design spokesman, Patrick Dempsey.

Guests were treated to served appetizers and an open bar before the evening’s festivities began. Alessandro Baronti, President and CEO of De Rigo Rem warmly welcomed the crowd to the presentation part of the evening, where he shared his long history with the Porsche Design brand. The presentation continued with a design presentation from Porsche Design, Product Designer Tobias Hüttl, where he spoke on the Patrick Dempsey Limited Edition Collection. The presentation culminated in a moderated discussion with Mr. Patrick Dempsey, himself, which delighted guests to see the film star speak about his collection, and his love of fast cars.

After the presentations finished, guests were treated to music, drinks, and more food. Patrick Dempsey conducted press interviews in a space where guests could look on and see the interviews taking place. The Porsche Design collection was also on display for guests to view throughout the evening. Each guest was treated to a small gift to commemorate the evening, die-cast black Porsche cars, and a Porsche Design magazine in a Porsche Design bag.
