The respective crowds merged with ease as the Climax store on East 4th street grew packed and guests poured out into the street. Whitney Mallet, a fashion mainstay and founder of The Whitney Review of New Writing held court outdoors while Jackson Howard, an editor at Farrar, Straus and Giroux chatted with Ava Nope of Heaven by Marc Jacobs. Inside, the editors of VOLUME Ø, John Lippman and Anne Healy laughed with Mr. Mickey, Willa Bennett and indie darling Cole Doman, who all crammed themselves into Climax’s signature latex covered benches.
At about 8:15 the party moved halfway down the block to KGB bar, a space famous for literary history. Music was provided by Sabrina Fuentes and Manon Macasaet while mini cakes, in the exact hue of the new VOLUME Ø cover, were provided by 2breakfasts. Over martinis and what Peyton Dix referred to as “sample size cakes” playwright Jacob Wasson argued fiercely with designer Kingsley, photographer Hunter Abrams and bookstagram sweetheart Mikey Friedman about the new Lady Gaga album which had dropped only hours earlier. In a corner of the bar a party goer was seen with their nose in a copy of VOLUME Ø which you can subscribe to here.
Charles Caesar captured the whole scene on polaroid which you can check out below.

For the entire 20 minutes and 21 seconds of the film, not a single person dared to blink, powerlessly spellbound by the artistry of Moses and Williams. The film masterfully intertwined sport, culture, life, and death, exploring the journey of life, from the boundless dreams of childhood to the tightening grip of society as we age, and ultimately, the inevitably of death, crafting a narrative that was both visceral and poetic. Shot entirely in Dakar, Senegal, with a local cast and an unscripted approach, featuring stunning visuals and three original songs by Pharrell.
The film deftly uses the movement of sport—running, martial arts, swimming, horseback riding—as allegory for life and connection, a testament to the human spirit. Defying simple description, All Day I Dream About Sport is not so much a film as it is an evocative tribute to the human form and the intricate web of existence, both raw and profound.
“I don't know where I would be without the different platforms that I've been able to operate in, artistically” Pharrell Williams said on the discussion panel following the film, “they're all means of expression, they're all different centers of opportunity for you to express yourself. Whether it's music or fashion or content, it continues to go on and on and on. But the idea that we get to express ourselves is amazing...

Because if so, you'd never work a day in life, and if it's a vocation that could service other people... then you have a universal job.”
