Interior designer and Holiday House founder Iris Dankner’s new book, Holiday House: Ten Years of Decorating for a Cure, was released in October, which was Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The launch coincided with Holiday House’s 10th anniversary, and the book documents a decade’s worth of exquisitely designed rooms by over 70 top interior designers for Holiday House showhouses in both New York and the Hamptons. A 20-year breast cancer survivor and passionate fundraiser for the cause, Dankner founded the showhouse to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. The proceeds from Holiday House and the book benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. To date, Iris’ organization has raised over $1 million for BCRF®. As Iris notes in the book, “After you’ve had cancer, every day is a gift, every day is a holiday.” Dankner, together with Honorary Chair Christopher Hyland and Design Chairs Thom Felicia and Alexa Hampton, are delighted to announce the 10th edition of Holiday House New York. The 2017 Showhouse returns to the Academy Mansion on Manhattan’s Upper East Side November 15 – December 7, open daily. Robin Baron, Bjorn Bjornsson, Vanessa DeLeon, Russell Groves, Jacqueline Hosford, Young Hu, Lucinda Loya, Sarah Magness, Anna Maria Mannarino, Kim Radovich, James Rixner, Cheryl Settino Mosher, Bonnie Steves, John Stedilaand and Jaime Walters are among the designers selected to participate in this year’s showhouse.
