The Princess Grace Foundation hosted “A Dress to Change the World” with designer Jeff Garner of Prophetik on Saturday at a private estate in the Hamptons.

A silent auction was held for guests which included Grace Kelly dolls among other fabulous offerings. Guests including Dom Pérignon Vice President, Trent Fraser, were greeted upon arrival by a rescue horse named Magic and a model wearing Jeff Garner’s designs from Prophetik. Amy Treitel was the hostess for the event.
