Should you’re not into it—perhaps some inside details about Vogue Week scorching spots will change your thoughts.
One among my private favourite elements about Vogue Week is that you just by no means know who you’re going to run into. Two nights in the past, I sat throughout from Jeff Bezos on the debut trend present for STAUD at The Plaza Lodge. Whereas I couldn’t inform you the place Bezos went after the present, I do have perception on the NYC “scorching spots” from 16 different high-profile Vogue Week attendees.
Whereas the runway exhibits and unique occasions are all the time star-studded, there are many locations to run into your favourite celeb or influencer that aren’t on the official Vogue Week schedule. As I write this story in-between exhibits, I’m sitting within the swanky bar at The Beekman Lodge—Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (you could know her as Sylive in Emily in Paris), simply walked in and is carrying her personal baggage. It’s these sudden moments through the week’s downtime that I really like probably the most.
To get a greater sense of the place the NYC cool crowd likes to spend their free time, I requested fashions, writers, content material creators, podcast hosts, and DJs (or some mixture of that record) what their favourite place to spend their off-time is through the week. Hold studying—perhaps these scorching spots will make your record of favorites too.
