On April 17, celebrities, style lovers, and press gathered to celebrate the launch of designer Christian Siriano’s high-end retail and lifestyle destination, The Curated NYC. The new concept store has taken up residence in a beautiful classic building on West Fifty-Fourth Street that once housed offices for Fabergé, Cary Grant, and other impressive predecessors. VIE was proud to sponsor the evening, and we wish Christian much success in this new endeavor!
