PARTY: Jo Malone x Michael Angove Dinner
VENUE: Nico Osteria Private Dining Room, Thompson Chicago
DATE: Thursday, January 30th
THE LURE: Give us a glass of red wine and good company—and we’ve got ourselves a fine Wednesday night. Add Jo Malone London into the mix, and it’s definitely a party. To celebrate the launch of a limited edition Home Collection of Jo Malone London products re-envisioned by artist Michael Angove, G&F’s D. Graham Kostic invited a few stylish and sweet smelling pals to dine with Michael. Tucked away in the private dining room of Nico Osteria at the new Thompson Chicago hotel, a long table with beautiful blooms welcomed guests as well as a bar-turned-cabinet-of-curiosities displaying Michael’s inspiration for the flowery artwork. Those who didn’t get enough from his sketches and trinkets chatted with Michael directly—his friendly turn of phrase and great sense of humor proved to be the highlight of the evening. Another highlight? That room smelled darn good. >>
