Celebrate caftan fashion, cocktails and shopping at The Shag House. See looks by the Kelly Golightly Collection, Monica Mahoney and El Tuggle, with emcees Kelly Lee and Dawn McCoy.

Slip into your most fabulous caftan and step through the Green Gates for an afternoon of poolside fashion, cocktails and Palm Springs glamour. The Caftan Soirée returns to The Shag House, where vintage inspiration meets Modern expression in a celebration of the caftan and the designers making it their own today.

There’s no more fitting backdrop than The Shag House, where internationally celebrated artist Josh Agle, known as Shag, transformed a classic 1958 Palmer & Krisel Alexander home into an immersive world of art, architecture, color and playful fantasy. Here, dressing for the occasion is part of the experience.

A lively poolside fashion show features contemporary caftans and Palm Springs chic looks from the Kelly Golightly Collection, Monica Mahoney and El Tuggle. Each brings a distinct point of view, celebrating the caftan as an expression of comfort, confidence and personal style.

Returning emcees Kelly Lee of Kelly Golightly and Dawn McCoy of Loving Way Foundation bring their warmth, wit and style to the celebration, weaving short designer conversations between runway moments for a playful look at the collections and their inspiration.

Enjoy specialty spritzes and cocktails, generous grazing bites and music by the pool before and after the show. All three designers will have dedicated pop-up shops where guests can explore their collections, discover the details, and shop favorite looks, with plenty of time to mingle and make an afternoon of it.

Between runway moments, explore Shag’s technicolor world, from the intimate Tiki Room and Living Room filled with art to the cool retro bar and imaginatively themed bedrooms, or mingle beneath the expansive covered outdoor living space beside the Pool and Spa. The colorful Modfire Lounge offers another spot to settle in and soak up the scene.

Come in a colorful caftan or your best Palm Springs chic look and find your own Modern muse in the fashion, art and personalities around you. It’s an afternoon for celebrating individuality and the pleasure of dressing for somewhere extraordinary.
