There aren't many places where you could stumble upon Kim Kardashian, Riccardo Tisci, David Copperfield, Steven Tyler, Kendall Jenner, Brooklyn Beckham and Makonnen all in the same room but last night you could find them all inside a random parking lot nestled underneath the Williamsburg Bridge on the LES for Givenchy's after party. After a much talked-about (and much Instagrammed) show down in Tribeca that, among other things, allowed non-fashion industry folks and local residents to partake in the experience, involved Marina Abramovic, a somber remembrance of 9/11, and music that was reflective of six different cultures and religions all in the name of unity and love, Givenchy's inclusive spirit continued downtown with a party mixing fashion people, celebrities, sports stars, rappers, and club kids galore. Outside the venue was an area where guests could get tacos, Mister Softee and hamburgers and hotdogs being grilled by hunky men in tank tops (of course) and inside on the ground floor of the lot, your senses were pummeled by lights, go-go dancers atop cars and other installations, and music from Jersey Club DJ -- and PAPER Beautiful Person -- Uniiqu3. Every hour or so a new level would open up and guests could explore new spaces, nooks, and vibey installations. In the darkness of the garage, you were apt to bump into anyone from Brooklyn Beckham (who mostly went incognito and was hanging out with a gentleman that was presumably his modeling agent or family friend), Makonnen (spotted chilling with friends), Courtney Love (who, we hear, spent the night gabbing with Kim Kardashian in a VIP area), David Copperfield (seen outside with his fiancée, the designer Chloe Gosselin) or the Tyler brood (Stephen Tyler came to the party with daughter Liv where they met his younger daughter, Chelsea, who was there with her husband and KANEHOLLER bandmate, Jon Foster). It was one of those only-in-New York mixed crowds that could re-ignite even the most jaded Manhattanite's passion for their city, the kind of passion that Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci so often talks about when he discusses his love for the Big Apple. As the party raged on, those special vibes kept everyone's spirits up until the wee hours (or at least until you left and suddenly realized there was zero chance of hailing a cab).
