Dori Cooperman is a staple of New York high society. There is not a party, grand opening, or charity gala that she doesn’t know about or hasn’t been invited to. As one of Haute Living’s Society Editors, she takes readers behind the velvet ropes at the most exclusive VIP fetes in our favorite international cities like Los Angeles, New York, the Hamptons, South of France, and London. Throughout the week, she invites us into the haute happenings of her life through her column Dori’s World, where luxury labels like Valentino, Jack Vartanian, Dolce & Gabbana, Brian Atwood, DVF, and Dior make regular appearances. From intimate dinner parties with close friends to festive blowouts at the trendiest new nightclubs, there is no event too big or too small for her to check out—as long as it is on the A list.
