Friday Fête: Dior, Longchamp, Tiffany, and More

Our weekly Friday Fête column highlights the best celebrations of the week. Below, we take through some of our favorites.

On Tuesday at Spring Studios, we kicked off the week with Planned Parenthood’s Spring Into Action gala. The night began with a cocktail reception and music by Mia Moretti, followed by a seated dinner with speeches from those highlighted throughout the night: Board Chair of Planned Parenthood, Katie Danziger; Champion of Change Award recipient, actor, and activist Laverne Cox; the new President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of New York City, Laura McQuade; and Woman of Valor Award recipient and the former Planned Parenthood Federation of America President, Cecile Richards. Throughout the night, special guests posed for photos in front of a Kehinde Wiley backdrop and enjoyed a live auction by Joe Dunning from Sotheby’s. Photographs by Collier Shorr, an engraved marble bench by Jenny Holzer, and a Marilyn Minter-painted Audi car donated from the personal collection of Dave Gahan were all auctioned off to raise funds for the organization. After the auction, guests made their way to the after party downstairs with music from Questlove.

Ballroom Marfa also held its spring fundraiser at Hôtel Americano in celebration of The Ballroom Marfa International Surf Club. Featuring Salón Alemán (a bar by artist Eduardo Sarabia), a performance by Master Plus, and a DJ set from Lizzi Bougatsos, the night welcomed guests to dinner, cocktails, and live music. Also special for the event was the launch of an eBay auction for Sarabia’s works, which are now on sale to benefit new artist commissions at Ballroom Marfa.

Also on Tuesday night was a special preview dinner of the Swiss Institute’s new location in the East Village. Held at the non-profit’s new 7,500-square-foot Selldorf Architects-designed location at 38 St. Marks Place, the evening was hosted by the Swiss Institute’s Chair, Maja Hoffmann, and Director, Simon Castets. In partnership with Brioni and Christie’s, the night consisted of dinner by renowned Chef Daniel Humm, and welcomed artists and leading donors to explore the new space that is set to hold exhibition space, a library, a bookstore, a useable rooftop, and more.
