It’s the dream of many fashionistas to grab a place at the table (or along the catwalk, if you will) during New York Fashion Week, the annual designer extravaganza that has just concluded. Not only are many of us fascinated by the latest fashions on display but also by what the fashion professionals and influencers are wearing.
With that in mind, we take a look at this intriguing brunch hosted by Vogue and Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts.
The inaugural Vogue Vanguard breakfast, setting the stage for Fashion Week, was attended by a colorful collection of influencers, tastemakers and curators across fashion, politics and entertainment. And oh the disparate looks they wore. From marabou feathers to leather, from sweatshirts to floral frocks.
The decadent Marie Antoinette-inspired breakfast, created by Four Seasons chefs from across the country, served as the kickoff event for a series of Vogue World Events celebrating the magazine’s remarkable 130 year history.
Co-hosting were Jessica Rose, Vogue senior manager experiences, and Casey Fremont, Art Production Fund‘s executive director. The Vogue team included Schanel Bakkouche, fashion editor/stylist for international publications, and Conçetta Ciarlo, events manager.
For this heady gathering, a private room in the Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown was dressed in banks of flower-infused greenery with one long table artistically filled with beautiful sweet and savory treats. The menu included croquembouche, petit gateaux, fruit tarts, linzer cookies, layered cakes, savory tartlets, cupcakes, scones and assorted chocolates.
