PARTY: Phillip Lim for Target Shoot Wrap Party
VENUE: The Dec, Ritz Carlton
DATE: Friday, August 16th
THE LURE: . When Target calls, you answer. G&F’s creative director D. Graham Kostic was asked to curate part of a six city style story to launch the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target collection (in stores now!). The goal? Target traveled cross country snapping shots of a city’s fiercest. And with the help of Graham, a cast of 20—the largest in the 9 foot panoramic photograph that will debut during NYFW this week—gathered outside the Chicago theater for a day of shooting for the campaign. To celebrate the collaboration, G&F invited the cast and crew for al fresco drinks at the dec of the Rtiz Carlton where guests nibbled delicious bites and sipped inspired cocktails (our favorite? The cucumber collins). Dressed in their best, this impromptu wrap party was a souped up happy hour—the most fashionable after work happy hour, if we do say so ourselves. >>
