Beauty buffs and fashion lovers came together November 4 in honor of Evanston designer Eve Alfillé’s 30th anniversary. To celebrate her new fine art jewelry series, “In Great Spirits,” Alfillé treated revelers to a “Bubbly Bar,” wine station, treats from a Stan’s Donuts food truck, and raffle prizes, plus a glittering display of her new collection, available at the Eve Alfillé Gallery & Studio (623 Grove St., Evanston).
