NEW YORK —

It's become one of the unofficial signs that market is at last upon us, and Rita and Art Engel's annual pre-market party gave scores of industry insiders a chance to kick back and relax for a few hours before all of the hard work begins.

Each year the affable Rita and Art and their colleagues at Crossways/Hillside Travel host the party at the penthouse of the Beekman Towers to say thanks to all their clients and friends in the home fashions industry.
