Absinthe at Santos Party House

On Thursday, February 17th, SWNYC attended the opening of Absinthe, a new weekly party at Santos Party House.  Promoted as "Music+Art+Fashion+Collaboration", Absinthe was one hell of a good time!  With a stellar performance by indie/new wave/pop band, Class Actress, the atmosphere was easy, sexy and carefree.  We will definitely be going back!  The night is backed by a gang of fashion forward hosts such as our very own Valissa Yoe.  Check out pics of this very eclectic crowd of beautiful people.

A.Z Araujo Fall 2011 Collective Fashion Show

SWNYC was able to attend the A.Z Araujo Fall 2011 Collective fashion show at the Sky Room on Wednesday, February 16th.  If the name sounds familiar, its because Bravo TV's Real Housewife of Atlanta, Cynthia Bailey walked down the runway in one of his Miami shows during an episode this past season.  Cynthia looked amazing in his creations and so did these models! 

As usual, we try to bring a different perspective when it comes to an event like this.  We were granted full access of the backstage area, where all of the models were getting ready.  Also, as an added bonus, we scored video of the entire show!  So check out some behind the scenes pictures and watch the whole show!
