Bringing together big names like Proenza Schouler and Thom Browne as well as fashion’s hottest up-and-coming names like Theophilio and LaQuan Smith, New York Fashion Week is packed with memorable moments every season (first, Collina Strada’s animal mask?). But for the few who were able to attend the week’s most exclusive after-party, the festivities brewing at the show were just the beginning — and the rest of the show continued until 3 or 4 in the morning.
The designer-hosted bedtime party brings stars like Natasha Lyonne, industry insiders like Jeremy O. Harris, and the hottest DJs in town (or flying). An open bar is all but guaranteed, as is often the case with dance floors in the urban high-rise landscape. Attendees will no doubt show up in their best attire.
Looking ahead, here’s a glimpse at the season’s best after parties.

Prabal Gurung Tok on The Blond
Runway Up and Down, by Prabal Gurung Anything designed has an overdone glamour. After the show, the designer took brand pals including EJ Johnson, Dorothy Wang and Tina Leung to trendy downtown bar The Blond Howard Hotel in 11 , where they enjoy the open-plan Penfolds wine bar and choose between the dance floor or the plush couches in the lounge to Mazurbate and Mia Moretti at midnight.
