Top designers recently teamed up to complete a sexy show house on New York’s Upper West Side all in the name of raising funds for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

“Inspired Designs: A Show House Celebrating Extraordinary Women,” runs through December 13 at 535 West End Avenue. The 10th annual show house benefiting the BCRF occupies an 8,000-square-foot space in a just-built residential condominium and was designed as a tribute to iconic women from the worlds of fashion, style, culture, and the arts.

Participants including David Scott Interiors, Greg Lanza Design, Inson Dubois Wood, John Barman, Nancy Corzine, and S. Russell Groves channeled muses like Ingrid Bergman, Coco Chanel, Michele Oka Doner, Dorothy Draper, Peggy Guggenheim, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly in their designs. Evelyn Lauder, the benefactor of an eponymous Breast Center at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and the visionary behind the pink ribbon that symbolizes breast cancer, hosted the house’s opening reception.

“Inspired Designs” is open daily from 12:30-6:30 except for Mondays and Thanksgiving. Admission to the show house is a $25.00 contribution to the BCRF.

Update: The show has been extended until December 13.
