Inside the LaQuan Smith after party

A LaQuan Smith show is a party in itself—so you can be sure the after party was one of the hottest invites in town this week. The designer celebrated his Fall Winter 2024 collection with friends of the brand at The Box, following his runway outing at Cipriani downtown on Monday night. Guests gathered for the late night bash, ignoring threats of the incoming snowstorm, to raise a cognac or two. Spotted around the club were Alton Mason, who had walked the runway hours earlier, Busta Rhymes, Duckie Thot, Ezra J. William, Isan Elba, Jasmine Sanders, Jazzelle Zanaughtti, Jenee Naylor, Joey BadA$$, Kiki Layne, Laysla de Oliveira, Lola Brooke, Marcus Allen, Meagan Good, Memphy, Oyinda, Parker Kit Hill, Serayah, Shaun Ross, Tayshia Adams, and Ava Salmaci.

Gucci shut down Soho

There were even more town cars and blacked-out-window SUVs on Wooster Street on Saturday night than usual, thanks to Gucci. The luxury label was celebrating the reopening of its Wooster Street boutique under creative director Sabato De Sarno, whose first collection for the house has now landed on the shop floor. To mark the moment, British singer Romy Madley Croft was in town (insiders will know that The XX frontwoman’s solo song, Loveher, soundtracked De Sarno’s recent runway debut.) Guests bopped to her set list, as well as opening and closing DJ sets from Amber Valentine and Oza, as they caught up over cocktails and passed bites. They also went home with Gucci Ancora posters and vinyl editions of Romy’s album Mid Air, which were distributed out of a custom-wrapped burgundy-hued (or should we say Gucci Ancora Rosso-hued) airstream. Attendees included Jessica Chastain, Daisy Edgar Jones, Elliot Page, Jodie Turner Smith, , Kingsley Ben-Adir, Allegra Shaw, Antwaun Sargent, Aurora James, Beanie Feldstein, Bibi Breslin, Blu DeTiger, Coco Baudelle, Deon Hinton, Elegance Bratton, Eliot Sumner, Eva Meloche, Gage Gomez, Garrett Carswell, Harley Viera Newton, India Mullen, Iris and Maude Apatow, Jeremy O. Harris, Kiki Layne, Kristen Crawley, Lauren Santo Domingo, Leandra Medine, Liv Perez, Mariacarla Bosconi, Marta Pozzan, Marcus Samuelsson, Mia Moretti, Mickalene Thomas, Natasha Lyonne, Quil Lemons, Reign Judge, Rickey Thompson, Selah Marley, Susanne Bartsch, Tamara Kalinic, Tanner Reese, Tyrell Hampton, Vanessa Hong, Wardell Milan, Wisdom Kaye, Xenia Adonts, and many more.

The evening saw editors and tastemakers join both female founders while dressed in Markarian hits from recent seasons, including Buccini, who recalled buying O’Neill’s very first collection as she knew she’d be a design star in no time, in a custom red velvet corset dress—very appropriate for the Galentine’s gathering. Among those in attendance were Alina Cho, Charlotte Groeneveld, Lilah Ramzi, Caroline Grosso, Claire Stern, Anahita Moussavian, Dora Fung, Angelica Hicks, Bailey Moon, Indré Rockefeller, Nikki Kynard, Diana Tsui, Jane Keltner De Valle, Kimberly Grant, Leta Wood, Noor Pahlavi, Kimberly Grant, and more.

LoveShackFancy painted the town pink

LoveShackFancy…at The Box…yes, really! Following on the trend of hosting an immersive party to unveil their collection during NYFW instead of a traditional runway show, LoveShackFancy brought all the girly girls down to infamous Lower East Side night spot, The Box. Rebecca Hessel Cohen revealed her latest offering, Bowquette Burlesque, via live performances by nightlife icons including the one and only Amanda Lepore as guests sipped on pink espresso martinis. (Truly, nothing surprises us during NYFW anymore!). The bash welcomed no shortage of VIPs across music, fashion, and the arts, including Chloe Bailey in a freshly-debuted black tulle gown and leather jacket from the new collection, Rachel Zoe, Alexandra Richards, Ivy Getty, Amy Lefevre, Lachlan Watson, Campbell Hunt Puckett, Lexi Wood, Janelle Lloyd, Ella Mendelsohn, Rachel Hilbert, Coco Bassey, Kaye Bassey, Dr. Macrene Alexiades, Audrey Hilfiger, Romilly Newman, Elizabeth Kurpis, Melvin Lawovi, Deja Foxx, Stephanie Horton, Chantal Monaghan, Gezelle Renee, and many, many more.
