Having been alone in the Bajo Manhattan for less than four months, Printemps New York is demonstrating its good neighbor and dedication to the financial district.
The French retailer opened its doors for an event to start the rumor for the annual autumn Perelman Performing Arts Center, also known as PAC NYC's Culture gala icon. Organized by the PAC chair and former Big de Big Apple Michael R. Bloomberg; Supermodel, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Karlie Kloss; And the CEO of Printemps de Américas, Thierry Prevost, the cocktail announced the iconic fashion legend and the recipient of Légion d'Inneur, Diane Von Furstenberg, such as the 2025 PAC NYC culture icon in the next October black first leg to benefit the newly open arts. The event marks the second collection collection gala.
The start event was held in the new French store, designed by French architect Laura Gonzales That challenges the nickname of the department stores: in its famous Rom Network Shoes and an adjacent bar, one of the five food and drink stores in the store.
While Von Furstenberg was out of the city and could not attend, the CEO of DVF Studio, Graziano de Boni, and his wife, Valerie, and vice president of philanthropy, Luisella Meloni, presented themselves in support of the fashion designer pioneer. Von Furstenberg is being honored not only for his contributions to the city, but also in its impact of 50 years on fashion and his role as a mentor and defender of girls and women around the world.
In statements to a crowd that included Fern Mallis, Derek Blasberg, Drena de Niro, Samantha and Caleight Perelman, and the president and co -founder of the Born This Way Foundation, Cynthia Germanotta, and Lady Gaga's mother.
Bloomberg called Von Furstenberg “an imposing figure in the arts and culture here in New York,” he added: “It is one of the most influential names of fashion, an industry in the heart of the economy of our city. She has been a tireless defender of the industry and a generous philanthropist with her leadership in public projects such as the upper line and the museum of the Lata de la Lata de Libe.
After his comments, a visibly pregnant Karlie Kloss, a collaborator and friend of Von Furstenberg, talked about her relationship with the designer.
“I met Diane for the first time when I was 15 years old in New York, and I remember being in love with her elegance, her trust and her style. Diane has been one of my most fierce champions and biggest teachers throughout my career. I learned a lot from her, but especially to be however.
Thierry Prevost, CEO of Printempps Americas, emphasized the brand's commitment to the center of the center: “Printemps is proud to contribute to the renewal of bass Manhattan, a neighborhood whose vitality owes much to the vision and leadership of Mike Bloomberg. We are equally honored to PAC in Printemps in front of its October icons. Culture, and a woman whose bold spirit and lasting influence personify the values we represent, such as the winner of the 2025 prize. “
Provost reiterated the feeling of the C of PrintempsHairman Jean-Marc Bellaiche, who spoke with Fashionnetwork.com at the March opening of the store about the area that “has Casa Cipriani, a scenic arts center, fashion marks such as Altuzarra and the great crowd in WSA, another architectural jewel, the Beekman Hotel, Good Schools, Green Space and Jean Georges Tin Building.”
At that time, Bellaiche doubled his sentence for the area.
“We are convinced that this is a neighborhood of tomorrow. It is next time. It is increasingly residential. The people and companies that were here are different from 15 years ago. Now, it is not just bankers; it is fashion, technology, they are media and everything here. It is a vibrant community that is becoming more attractive to any new yorker,” he said.
The 108th Mayor of New York City was the connector of the event and headed that it brings together the creatives. Bloomberg's dedication to the area began when his mandate began in January 2002, since the city was still staggering the September 11 attacks.
The then mayor and his administration were determined to gather the area and make it bigger and better, developing the area typically only work in a 24 -hour neighborhood with homes, parks and new businesses. Part of the plan were the arts.
The idea came to fruition with the help of the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, who made the first central promise, and Ronald Perelman, for what was named. PAC NYC brings vibrant dancers, musicians, artists, filmmakers and other creators throughout New York City for presentations and exhibitions.
