Banana Republic hosted an intimate holiday celebration at “The Banana,” the speakeasy inside the brand’s SoHo flagship, inspired by the cheerful spirit of Irish gatherings at the heart of its Holiday campaign.

The event was co-hosted by bestselling author, Emmy-winning producer, and culinary expert Antoni Porowski, who welcomed friends of the brand, cultural leaders, and creative community members to the festivities. 

Notable attendees included AnnaSophia Robb, Jeremiah Brent, Liza Koshy, Justine Skye, Martha Hunt, Jack Martin, Simon Huck, Phil Riportella, Coco Bassey, Gabrielle Richardson, and more.

Guests enjoyed an atmosphere designed to evoke a classic Irish pub with a menu of soda bread, potpie and fresh crudités followed by showstopping trifle carts. To immerse guests further, the band, Sweet Tooth Jazz played classic Irish rock songs with a modern twist. 

At the center of everything was Banana Republic’s holiday collection and the brand's continued dedication to craftsmanship, authenticity, and timeless style.
