The History of the San Francisco Decorator Showcase

The San Francisco Decorator Showcase began in 1977 when Nan Rosenblatt, a former San Francisco University High School parent and accomplished interior designer, and Philip Fernandez, the first president of the school’s Parents Association, conceived the event to raise funds for the Financial Aid Program. In its inaugural year, Showcase raised $26,000, and today, it generates over $1 million annually. Over the years, the Showcase has been held at some of the most prestigious addresses in San Francisco's most breathtaking neighborhoods.
