The exclusive event, co-hosted by Michaela Seewald, Publisher of Vogue Czech Republic & Slovakia, welcomed an elite gathering of industry leaders, celebrities, and tastemakers in a setting that perfectly blended historic charm with modern elegance.
Known for its opulent décor, soaring ceilings, and rich mahogany accents, the Campbell Bar provided a luxurious and intimate atmosphere for the celebration.
Guests mingled beneath the venue’s grand chandeliers, enjoying the sophisticated ambiance that has made the space a New York City icon. Known as a city’s iconic speakeasy, the evening did not disappoint. Honoring the legacy of Jazz Age financier John W. Campbell, who transformed the space into his private space in 1923, The Campbell preserves its timeless allure with exquisite 13th-century Florentine-inspired design elements. A grand stone fireplace, Campbell’s original steel safe, a century-old leaded glass window all preserving old school elegance.
The evening’s culinary offerings were equally impressive, featuring an exquisite selection of artisanal cocktails. From elegantly plated canapés to indulgent small bites, everything was thoughtfully curated to complement the refined setting. Signature cocktails and fine wines flowed throughout the night, adding to the sense of occasion.
“This evening is about more than just celebration—it’s about bringing together passion, creativity, and elegance in a space that reflects all of that,” said Vanderbilt Costin.
Notable attendees included Consuelo Vanderbilt Costin, Michaela Seewald, Julia Haart, Susan Plagemann (President, WME), Inson Dubois, Yvonne Beri, Marlene Herring, Claudia Mahler, and Nancy Moonves, all of whom enjoyed an evening of fashion, culture, and indulgence in one of New York’s most storied venues.
