I could have easily titled this post My 2013 Christmas Wish List, as this exclusive press showcase and ultimate shopping event of well curated brands and items for those of discerning taste who really appreciate the finer things in life was certainly a luxury lovers dream.
Industries on hand included automotive, aviation, fashion, jewelry & timepieces, luggage, wine & spirits, electronics and more! There were some major debuts including the 2014 McLaren 12C Spider courtesy of McLaren Long Island and LG Electronics USA also showcased the debut of it's razor thin 55 inch CURVED OLED TV. They also featured the LG G2 Smartphone (which if you remember I attended the Global Launch for this phone in New York City, you can see that coverage
HERE). They also displayed their newly expanded line of Ultra Hi-Def TV's led by the 84-inch UHD model with four times the resolution of today's HDTV's in their ultra high-tech lounge.
