Scene: Harry King and Nancy Donahue at their fun dance party at Slate in New York City. Everyone was excited to be at Harry and Nancy\u2019s annual soir\u00e9e again since the pandemic halted this event for a few years. It was the perfect Friday evening in April for a fashion reunion!
Guests included art directors, bloggers, family and friends, fashion designers, hair stylists, magazine editors, makeup artists, models, photographers, public relations, stylist, and notable others. People came from near and far, from Manhattan to Cannes.
The vibe was upbeat and happy as the DJ spinned dance music pumping up the mood. Guests mingled over cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and music. And everyone enjoyed a splendid time dancing the night away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
