To celebrate the launch of ArtBinder Viewer, Founder Alexandra Chemla, along with Jemima Kirke, Yvonne Force Villareal, and Jose Parla, hosted a bohemian-themed soiree on the roof of the famed McKittrick Hotel. Interior designer Madeline Weinrib transformed the space using her signature bespoke carpets and printed pillows, along with Moroccan tables, candles, and a sea of flowers. Influencers in the spheres of both fashion and art donned their best flowing bohemian-inspired dresses, along with delicate custom flower crowns by Stone Fox Bride and makeup enhancements by Lancome.

Notable art world guests included RoseLee Goldberg, Marianne Boesky, Todd Eberle, Thelma Golden, and Amy Cappellazzo. However, the most enchanting attendee of the evening was renowned fashion and lifestyle photographer Bill Cunningham, who snapped (forthcoming) pictures of some very flattered subjects. After all, you know what they say—if Bill Cunningham isn’t shooting you, you’re doing something wrong.

Despite the fact that the event culminated in blustering winds which sent guests running for cover, the lush decor and elegant atmosphere cemented it as one of the most memorable parties of the summer.
