Moose Knuckles & Carlos Nazario Get The Gang Together, Out Late With Martha Stewart, Plus! ARTWALK NY Returned..

Moose Knuckles & Carlos Nazario host Friendsgiving 

Super stylist Carlos Nazario, who’s also global artistic director at Moose Knuckles, rang in the festive season with pals at Studio Skate last night. Joining him on co-hosting duty were Kimberly Drew and Joe Holder of System of Service, with music by Kesh. Guests headed to the Bushwick-based holiday pop-up venue—which opens officially today!—from the team behind Palm Heights Grand Cayman and New York’s Habibi. (Think: a chic market, a natural ice skating rink designed by artist Christopher Meyer, an Alpine-inspired Chalet restaurant, and more.) The Friendsgiving dinner also incorporated a coat drive in partnership with New York Cares, with Moose Knuckles organizing gently-used coat and winter accessory donations from those in attendance. Among those who came out to raise a glass to the holiday season were Devyn Garcia, Fisher Smith, Joan Smalls, Paloma Elsesser, Alexander Roth, Anaa Saber, Stephanie Hui, Raul Lopez, Hillary Taymour, Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, Ian Bradley, Jan-Michael Quammie, Ronald Burton III, Yohana Lebasi, Akeem Rasool, Chris Chambers, and Kyle Hagler.

Amitha Raman took over Jean’s to launch her luxury smoking brand AMITHA

Mini lobster rolls and Martha Stewart—now that’s how you throw a launch fête. Fashion and art crowds came together to celebrate AMITHA; the new line of smoking accessories that you’ll never want to hide away before guests come over. Founder Amitha Raman hosted friends and industry insiders recently at Noho’s hotspot du jour Jeans to get them better acquainted. During the night, models served trays of pre-rolls wrapped in custom-made AMITHA x Field Trip rolling cones as guests hit the dance floor between helping themselves to handfuls of French fries. Music came thanks to DJ Kesh, who kept the mood upbeat for attendees such as Ellen Von Unwerth, Brooks Nader, Batsheva Hay, Tinx, Jerome Parker, Jonathan Cohen, Maxwell Osborne, Christina Grasso, CJ Hart, Ginger Lu, Eniko Mihalik, Ashley Avignone, Katheen Lynch, Kennedy Yanko, Scott Sartiano, Fritz Von Eric, and, of course, Miss Martha Stewart.
