Joyful June is truly here. Last night, team Daily gathered our nearest and dearest to raise a glass to Pride Month and enjoy panoramic views of the city at The Hard Rock Hotel’s chic rooftop bar, RT60. From the stylish designers, models, influencers, tastemakers, executives, and publicists in attendance to music and performances by DJ Tommy Hart and Kevin Aviance, it was an unforgettable celebration of the folks who make the NYC fashion scene so colorful and fun.
Guests arrived to the venue in style, greeting one another and saying ‘cheers’ over all-natural, botanical spritzes by Jennifer Lopez’ better-for-you premium spirits brand Delola. As some snapped outfit pics, others mingling on the roof deck while enjoying Hart’s disco house set. Rosé was flowing thanks to Hampton Water, vodka cocktails came thanks to The Community Spirit Vodka, and others enjoyed smooth tequila options by Teremana.
The moment everyone was waiting for came when Kevin Aviance, the needs-no-introduction nightlife legend and influential dance music artist, took to the center of the room. Aviance gave a rendition of his 1996 ballroom-favorite track Cunty—which is sampled on Beyoncé’s recent Pure/Honey—while also talking about the importance of celebrating Pride. “Work. Fierce. Over. Aviance!”
