Celebrities such as Dita Von Teese, David Lam, Thomas Keller and Patrick McDonald joined Forty Five Ten to honor the legendary fashion icon Iris Apfel at an intimate celebration.
Guests enjoyed sipping Tequila Casa Dragones Joven ahead of their dinner created by the Executive Chef Junior Borges from Dallas’ 5-star hotel, The Joule. The exclusive evening was hosted by Atelier Swarovski and Forty Five Ten’s Vice President Creative Taylor Tomasi Hill and Men’s Fashion Director, Nick Wooster.
The event marked the launch of Forty Five Ten’s newest book, The Eccentrics. The book, which features a portrait of Apfel on the front cover, is a collection of extraordinary iconic characters, their personalities and what makes them ‘eccentric.’
Tequila Casa Dragones was proud to be included in the closing night of Art Basel Miami Beach 2016. To celebrate, nightlife icon Tolga Albayrak hosted “Director’s Cut” at the Wall nightclub in the vibrant W Hotel in South Beach.
Several of the international art fair’s executive team members attended the closing party including Art Basel’s Global Director, Marc Spiegler and Director Americas for Art Basel’s show in Miami Beach, Noah Horowitz.
Music by celebrity DJ Eriko Tanabe kept the guests on the dance floor all night long, as Art Basel Miami Beach finished off another fantastic year.
To honor the surging popularity of contemporary artist CJ Hendry, 250 guests were invited to a cocktail celebration showcasing some of her most recent works in Miami, Florida at the waterfront home of Market America’s founder, James Ridinger.
Some of the evening’s attendees included David and Victoria Beckham, Miami Heat basketball player Chris Bosh as well as Russell Simmons, producer and co-founder of Def Jam Recordings. With several pieces by Hendry displayed throughout the space, guests could admire her work while dancing and enjoying Tequila Casa Dragones Joven.
Hendry, known for her incredibly detailed, hyper realistic drawings has already developed a strong New York City fan base and was joined at the event by many notable guests. Each of CJ Hendry’s hand-drawn masterpieces require an unfathomable amount of skill, patience and precision. Her drawings are so precise that they are often confused for a black and white photograph. She has risen to the top of the art world in just a few years time and now has sold many of her drawings to well-known owners such as fashion designer Vera Wang, actor David Caruso, and rapper Kanye West.
