September 16, 2008 9:53 am
It was apparent at last week’s party for The Last Magazine, when all of New York’s cool kids piled into the ground-floor gallery to celebrate a brand-new fashion publication within the first minutes that the doors were open, just how important a certain building on West 15th Street is. Not only for the production of pretty pictures (its top-floor studios are responsible for many of the images in glossy magazines around the world), but also for having a good time. This season, Milk Studios is celebrating its tenth anniversary, and those in charge have thus decided to spend more time patting themselves and their friends on the back. “Milk would be nothing but an empty space without the photographers, the stylists, the designers, the models, and everyone else who keeps this place running and consistently a creative hub,” said Mazdack Rassi, one of studio’s founding members. To celebrate, this season Milk crammed as much into the space as it could, from small presentations (like Band of Outsiders and Victor Glemaud) to intimate dinners (Naomi Watts hosted a sit-down for her brother Ben’s photography) to full-scale dance parties (like the aforementioned Last boogie fest). The fashion week events were such a success, in fact, that Rassi has renewed his focus on entertaining. In the upcoming weeks expect to see gallery openings and dinners in honor of the likes of Alexi Lubomirski, Norman Jean Roy, Hunter Barnes, and Greg Kadel. “We consider our artists to be part of the Milk family and we do our best to get them a lot of buzz. I love being inspired by the brilliant people around me.”
