Other Details: The trifecta of Kanye, Kid Kudi and Aziz Ansari is one that we'd love to be a part of. Models, designers and musicians alike joined together to celebrate new menswear designers at the iconic Ace Hotel. Reports Racked: "The Ace's lobby was transformed with a series of lighting rigs and centralized groupings of existing furniture on which six models representing each line posed for the full two hours. The set-up allowed the very, very long list of guests to travel along the full perimeter of the room—having access to a beer bar, a full bar, a variety of butlered-around nibbles, a very busy coat check. Fabulous in theory—difficult in reality: There were ten million people there, and they definitely started to get punchy! " [Via]
