Our first NYC event at the Marlton Hotel

Yesterday evening we hosted our first  event in NY in honor of my friend Stefano Tonchi. Stefano has been a long-standing supporter of design and someone who has constantly added to the cultural discourse surrounding fashion, design, and architecture. As W Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Stefano sheds light on some of the most talented creatives today. And he's been a major light in the broader cultural and fashion scenes for decades; previous stints include roles at Esquire, the Sunday Times Magazine, and even as the creator and Editor-in-Chief of T Magazine. I find him to be incredibly smart, charming and undoubtedly one the chicest men I know. He can't help but add an element of glamour everywhere he goes.

We had a wonderful evening, and welcomed a fantastically diverse group of friends together to honor Stefano—photographers, designers, gallerists, interior decorators, writers, and more—to the newly opened Marlton hotel, which was a perfect venue: stylish, cozy and great food and drinks.
