Phillip Lim and Prabal Gurung Take No Prisoners at The Smyth

TriBeCa’s coolest hotel hosts two of our favorite fashion designers at the opening-soon Toro lounge.

Asians are the new Jews in fashion, The New York Times proclaimed during fashion week, which we presume was meant to mean a massive compliment. Following Phillip Lim’s SS10 preview, revelers seeking a hideaway from “Fashion’s Night Out” mayhem cut Smyth TriBeCa hotel’s freshly-cut rugs, dancing to DJ Jon Santos’ hip-hop beats. (At some point, we recall a conga line forming.) Take a look Phillip Lim’s men’s and women’s collections on the link below. Meanwhile, the following night, Brad Gordeski joined Prabal to celebrate his fourth season of fabulosity, following suit at the soon-to-be hot spot Toro. Check it out.
