The newly refurbished Riviera Resort & Spa in Palm Springs opened in perfect time to debut this winter’s fashions — an ideal setting to showcase elegance and lavish flair. As women’s styles return to glamour, we wish that our visit to the Riviera could have included encounters with Frank, Dean, Sammy, or Elvis.
