Being a former model (maybe I’ll dig up a picture and show you some time), fashion has always been a big deal for me–that’s why I was so excited to make the theme for my party “hot.” I couldn’t wait to see what the guests would show up wearing and they didn’t disappoint.
And here’s a picture of what I decided to wear. After all that consideration (thank you all so much for your suggestions by the way) I decided to wear a suit, but put my own twist on it by pairing it with a Prada fishnet shirt.
Also, this past weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Grammys for the first time and walk down the red carpet with my partner Theo Bleckmann. It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. As we entered, I looked all around, checking out what everyone was wearing and being inspired by the colors, styles, etc…
What were Theo and I wearing? Well, Biyan designed Theo’s red jacket, incorporating unique texture and subtle but intricate detail, while I decided to dress in basic black.
I wonder…what would you have worn to my Celebrations party? Tell me about your hottest outfit.
I’m still recovering from the party (and the
Grammys), but I wanted to share a few more pictures of the decor:
Thank you to everyone who came out to the Celebrations book launch last night! I’ll have some more shots to share with you on Monday (after I’ve recovered) but here are some highlights from the party. And by the way, I’m heading to California today. My partner Theo Bleckmann was nominated for a Grammy, and I get to play the plus one.
Too busy to write a full post today, so here are more pictures of the set-up:
I’ll post more pictures of the party tomorrow!
It’s only one day before the big Celebration! I was very torn in choosing a space for the event–in these economical times I didn’t want to give a party that was too slick, so it was essential to find the right venue. I love the Armory because it’s a raw, empty space that sort of reminds me of a high school gym.
It’s been an interesting challenge transforming this space. For each new venue, there are specific elements I always focus on:
- The walls–how do I cover them?
- The ceiling–what am I going to hang from there?
- The floor–depending on the space, sometimes I think, “How am I going to deal with this?”
- The entrance
- The actual decor itself
It’s always good to have as much time as possible for setting up. This being New York city, we only have about 48 hours to set up the lighting, the flowers, the stage, projections, and so much more. My crew and I will definitely be pulling an all-nighter for this one.
I’ll have more pictures of the set-up process to show you tomorrow, but for now, tell me….
What was the most exciting transformation you have ever created or witnessed?
