At GITANO INFERNO Fashion week party
Grace went to the GITANO New York Fashion Week INFERNO party. Presented like this at Gitano’s Instagram: "GITANO INFERNO The nights at GITANO NYC hold the art of surprise, a theater of moments where every detail delights the senses. Awaken the fire within, dare to surrender to the rhythm, and let the night sculpt your boldest self: chic, untamed, and luminous." NYLON magazine wrote this about the INFERNO parties: "The biggest list everyone’s jonesing to get on these days is for Inferno. The monthly-ish party at Jean’s has become the stuff of FOMO nightmares on social media. Dante Cardenas may work at a desk during the day, but at night, he’s tapped some of the sharpest minds in nightlife to help throw this party. 'I saw New York as being very segregated right now. LGBTQ+ members, straights, millennials, the Gen-Zs, people from Brooklyn and Manhattan are all going to different places,' he says. 'Music is incredible in Brooklyn with so many DJs. Manhattan is a little behind on that. Inferno blends both of those: great music and a fun, diverse crowd. I want it to be a place where everyone comes together.' To do that, he’s reaching out to leaders in each of those communities and groups for the right kind of people to invite. 'My dream is to bring everyone together and create more than a party, to create a community.' So far, it’s working. In the few months that Inferno has been happening, the number of attendees is multiplying. In just four parties, the guest list has jumped from 150 to 400 to 1,500, and counting."
