"The Stephen family’s connection to City Hall dates back to the 1970s, when Richard Stephens, Elisa’s father and former AAU president, befriended future San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown – then a California assemblyman – at a downtown watering hole. “We used to paint the town,” Brown recalled last May.
Brown, who was mayor from 1996 to 2004, is an annual guest at AAU’s fashion show, and along with his girlfriend Sonya Molodetskaya, takes frequent trips to New York Fashion Week on the Stephens’ corporate jet." |
