The space was transformed into an interactive shopping, dining and music event, housing nearly the entire Meatpacking District under one roof. DVF and Andre Balazs arrived early to greet party-goers. Outside the venue and across from DVF’s Meatpacking flagship, the two continued to chat with Milk Studios’ Mazdack Rassi. The evening celebrated the best of the Meatpacking District. Local vendors, including Rag & Bone and Intermix, set up stands, selling discounted merchandise. Browsing through the colorful summer offerings, eager guests swarmed the DVF and Tory Burch pop-ups. Guests also enjoyed a plethora of killer food from Meatpacking’s finest. Bar Nana and The Standard Grill flanked each side of the DJ booth, where Chelsea Leyland and Elle Dee spun lively tunes. Chelsea Leyland’s pals came by to support the fashion darling, posing for photos behind the DJ booth and turning the aisle way into a dance floor. Nibbling on bites from Meatpacking hotspots, Elle Dee stunned in a color blocked Fausto Puglisi dress. Milk Studios set up an interactive photo booth on the second floor, allowing guests to pose in front of R&L restaurant circa 1955.
