AnOther Magazine Launches

AnOther celebrated the launch of its new issue and Maiyet’s S/S15 collection during New York Fashion Week with a rooftop happening in a private loft apartment at an iconic address on the Bowery. The event paid homage to the cultural heritage of the building whose creative community had included Frank O’Hara, Mark Rothko, William Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Lou Reed, Patti Smith and Andy Warhol who, in 1964 screened his first movie, Sleep, to a private audience including Jonas Mekas in the space. Warhol’s Sleep was projected onto a wall, artist Robert Montgomery’s artwork, Sentinels, was installed on the roof and legendary beat poet John Giorno gave a special performance. Caroline creative directed and oversaw all elements of the event.
