A look at the hottest parties at New York Fashion Week 2023
Party-loving Mayor Eric Adams won’t miss New York Fashion Week 2023 — of course — even as the wet-gra*s-scented city reels from the migrant crisis and other issues.
We learn that Adams will once again welcome the fashion elite to the Gracie Mansion, after Vogue boss Anna Wintour and top designers Michael Kors and Vera Wang attended a party he threw there last year. .
The party animal is also known to take advantage of Fashion Week to continue celebrating his birthday, which was September 1. Fashion Week runs from Thursday to September 13.
We hear other notable parties outside of Gracie Mansion include parties hosted by high-end brands such as Dior (who will host a VIP event, which Charlize Theron is expected to attend) and Chanel (who will create the Lucky Chance Dinner in Williamsburg for her launch of a new perfume).
Among New York’s most popular birthday parties, J.Crew will toast 40 years since its launch as a catalog in 1983 with a performance by The Strokes. In 1989, the brand opened its first store in South Street Seaport.
Soho House, in the Meatpacking District, will celebrate its 20th anniversary. Birthday guests received invitations in the form of a membership card for ‘Annabelle Bronstein’ – the alias Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha Jones gave to sneak into an episode of the season 6. of “Sex and the City”.
The name also popped up during Cattrall’s recent appearance on HBO’s spin-off “And Just Like That.”
We also learn that during NYFW, model Linda Evangelista and former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld will each present new books at Marc Jacobs’ Bookmarc store.
The Evangelista tome is signed by legendary photographer Steven Meisel.
As the new face of jewelry brand Pandora, Pamela Anderson will also be in town for an event on Lafayette Street with expected guests Julia PKB, ‘Barbie’ star Hari Nef and ‘Little Mermaid’ star Halle. Bailey.
Also during Fashion Week, the Daily Front Row will hold its annual party at the Hard Rock Hotel with music from DJ Isaac Likes, and Harlem’s Fashion Row Fashion Show & Style Awards will take place at the Apollo Theater.
We also learn that Mulberry will host its first NYFW party and that Emily Ratajkowski will join AG Jeans for the brand’s party at the Highlight Room.
Fashion Innovation will speak with designers including Kenneth Cole and Alexandre Birman, and fitness guru Isaac Boots is launching his own clothing line with a Torch’d workout at the Plaza.
