The stars aligned on Friday night to celebrate the launch of Wardrobe.NYC’s latest collection. Co-founders Christine Centenera and Josh Goot gathered a glittering group of guests during Paris Fashion Week to toast a new era of the brand: eveningwear.
Set at the iconic Parisian restaurant L’Avenue, the duo debuted a lineup of “elegant, timeless essentials” fit for everyone’s style. From sculpted tuxedo dresses to delicate lace bralettes and tights, the women’s offerings are equally feminine and sophisticated. For men, the double-breasted blazers and classic cut wool coats are seasonless staples that will undoubtedly elevate any ensemble.
Of course, guests, including Hailey Bieber, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Camille Rowe, and Neelam Kaur Gill, were the first to sport looks from the new release. The soirée kicked off with an intimate seated dinner for close friends of the brand. Vogue’s Edward Enninful held court at the middle of the table with Lori Harvey and Isamaya Ffrench. Nearby, Jordan Barrett and Luka Sabbat looked effortlessly cool in a cozy corner of the plush room. The week’s shockingly warm weather allowed for the windows to stay open, letting sounds from the streets of Paris seep into the party chatter. After all, the refined dining room overlooks the city’s most beloved street, Avenue Montaigne.
On the menu, the restaurant’s signature dishes, like the spicy rigatoni, beef filet, and coconut cod, circulated the buzzy tables before the evening switched into afterparty mode. As the music got louder, more and more street-style swans and PFW notables arrived to join in on the fun because a day of fashion shows should always end with a dance party.
Espresso martinis flowed endlessly from the bar as the music continued to the wee hours. The base blended with a chorus of laughter. In a week marked by fabulous affairs, this celebration was an irreverent reminder that community is at the heart of fashion.
