Courtney and Christopher Sarofim hosted over 200 guests at the swanky opening in Houston’s River Oaks District and serenaded Adam’s continued success as his business continues to take off. 2024 is a breakthrough year for the designer, who got his start at Oscar de la Renta, as he is slated to open new doors on Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue and a private salon on 5th Avenue later this year.

Houston power players and style mavens who came to support Adam’s grand opening include Natalie Steen, Whitney Crane, Jessica Phifer, Ceron, Hilda Curran, Olivia Persia, Francine Ballard, Kelly and Karol Barnhart, Tiffany Masterson, Courtney’s mom Elyse Lanier, doting husband Christopher Sarofim, Gillian and Fayez Sarofim, Andrew and Mona Sarofim, and Nicole Katz.
