Whether you've given an Olsen twin a cigarette outside of The Carlyle or partied with Leo hiding beneath his baseball cap, there are certain moments that are so quintessentially New York, you know they can only happen here.

Seeing the one and only Ms. Patti LaBelle performing during a dinner party certainly qualifies as one of those moments.

In anticipation of this week's Fashion Tech Forum, NYC's fashion set descended upon NoMad for an intimate dinner at Scarpetta, hosted by founder Karen Harvey and featuring everyone from Maxwell Osborne and Nicola Formichetti to Chrissy Rutherford and Selby Drummond. 

The Fashion Tech Forum is a groundbreaking platform for leaders to share their vision and critical insights about the future of the retail, beauty, fashion, tech, and culture industries that hosts an annual conference, monthly podcast, and on-going programming and support for brands.

Guests celebrated over cocktails, dinner, and conversation that was capped off by a once-in-a-lifetime dinner performance by Ms. LaBelle that included hits such as Lady Marmalade, On My Own, and When You’ve Been Blessed
