This world is wild.
It's time for a release.
For those of you who are new to what we do, all you need to know is this: what we offer you is more than a party, it's an ode to the unspoken parts of us, a whisper into the night, an invitation to step into the darkness and inhabit a version of ourselves that is very rarely free.
This event series is inspired by the aesthetic world of Hieronymus Bosch, The Garden of Earthly Delights. The story, the absurdity, the spectacle — every element of what we bring will be born from this aesthetic.
The looks below are provided to seed the inspiration for your own venture into the masquerade.
The look this year is simple: surrealist glam.
we are here now
at a precipice,
living within a decision,
brutal times,
needn't turn us into brutal people.
there is beauty in subtlety,
in secrets between friends
and the spirits within us.
for far too long, we've denied ourselves,
our inner truths
our wildest dreams
the healing of scars
after all
deep within, we are all still children
and now it's time to decide
if we are truly ready to play.
We believe nights in New York City can be a work of art. We collect these moments through experiences — as precious as paintings but so much more fleeting.
Need help figuring out your look?
Think make-up by Pat McGrath, distressed formal wear, or find masks by independent artists like JellyJelStore, Tuahadedana, Wintercroft, BarbaricYawp, BlackLaceMask, Disco2Disco, Novikova, CuriousFair, or select a character from The Garden or Earthly Delights.
Below are select looks that we are drawing inspiration from this season.
