Lights, Camera, Vixen: Aweng Chuol Kicks Off NYFW With a Pre-Birthday Bash

How was the party?

The party was hot! Lots of hot outfits — gorgeous, gorgeous darlings (Charlotte Tilbury’s Voice).

What’s your favorite part about being a Virgo?

I’m actually a double Libra with a Taurus moon, my North Node is Virgo though, and I have been throwing big parties for two years now in celebration of that.

Biggest pet peeve?

Slow walkers…. Is this a safe space?

Did anyone get messy?

I think we all kept it cute, until we got home.

Drink of the night?

It was all shots! Bumbu rum and tequila!

Go-to song to shake ass to?

Ackee by SadBoi! And she performed it live.

Favorite moment:

Seeing everyone have a genuine good time & the cameras! Lights, lights! Everyone showed out for miss girl.

Le Keep and Full Kit Wnkrs Take Us to Church

Accompanied by the raucous Tiny Gun, fronted by Subway Takes’ own Kareem Rahma, Le Keep premiered a debut set. The five-piece delivered rich, melodic indie that, as is true to songwriter Steele Kratt, pulled on the audience's heartstrings. It must be noted that Steele, changed clothes multiple times, bearing his ass, mid-song during the set. Unfortunately, that wasn’t photographed as thoroughly as it should’ve been.

The evening was full of celebration and controlled chaos, which saw droves of enterprising walk-ups trying to enter the sold-out event with fake tickets and cash bribes. The night showed us that Le Keep is a new face in the New York City music scene, and this is only the beginning.

Watch this space, and see for yourself, with photos by New York’s nightlife photographer-in-chief, Matt Weinberger.

office celebrates issue 21 with vowels

May 18, 2024

v owels is the new brand on the block, having just debuted its first capsule collection. Last week, designer Yuki Yagi, the founder and creative director of the made-in-Japan alt-luxury label, also unveiled its all-new showroom and research library that includes thousands of books and magazines from the designer’s archival research. Yagi imagines the space as a haven for those aching to slow down and escape into the pages of a good book.

Given the showroom's celebration of print media, it made perfect sense for us to come together right after to celebrate the launch of issue 21, our final print issue, at Habibi. Cover stars Miles Greenberg, Memphy and Efron Danzig (issue 20), as well as Kim Shui, Aweng Chuol, Dylan Ali, Jo Rosenthal joined us before heading downstairs for the after party.
