On top of the Gansevoort Meatpacking Rooftop in New York City, Essential Homme hosted its biannual New York Fashion Week kick off party, #EHNYFW, where the magazine’s upcoming February/March 2015 issue starring actor Hugh Dancy was also revealed.
A mix of Hollywood personalities like Paris Hilton, up-and-comers from the music world such as Joey Bada$$, and fashion photographers, editors, and insiders rubbed elbows and dipped it low to sexy vibes from musician Twin Shadow (George Lewis Jr.) and sister act Angel + Dren on the turntables, as SVEDKA Vodka and Peroni Nastro Azzurro provided much needed ammunition against the bitter cold outside. Inside, against panoramic views of the city, guests were treated to a special surprise appearance from rapper Chingy, in Essential Homme‘s #TBT tradition, who performed “Holidae Inn,” “Right Thurr,” and other classic hits from the late 2000s.
