On the eve of the official start to New York Fashion Week, the Council of Fashion Designers of America threw a kick-off cocktail party at Le Rock in Rockefeller Center — the first stop for designers’ party-hopping throughout a busy Wednesday evening.
The cocktail was hosted by Thom Browne, chairman of the CFDA; Joseph Altuzarra; Stacey Bendet, and Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Before the party, the hosts and celebrity ambassadors Becky G, Sebastián Yatra, and Honey Dijon posed for photos on the steps of the rink to celebrate the launch of NYFW Live at Rockefeller Center, where NYFW shows, in partnership with Genesys, will livestream over the course of the week.
