In true Models.com fashion, the Models.com 25th anniversary dinner and cocktails was a warm, intimate and low-key affair. Against the amber-lit backdrop of Blue Ribbon Sushi Izakaya, models, agents, stylists, editors, casting directors, makeup artists, hair stylists, photographers and many more longtime collaborators braved the winter chill, trading vodka sodas and stories as the room hummed with camaraderie and reverence for the platform that has become fashion’s creative hub. As a celebration of over a quarter-century in the industry, a glittering gathering of the faces and forces defining fashion today including Paloma Elsesser, Grace Elizabeth, Awar Odhiang, Selena Forrest, Alton Mason, Mathieu Simoneau, Calum Harper and Jill Kortleve — joined Co-Founder, Editor-in-Chief and CEO Stephan Moskovic, Vice President Betty Sze, and the Models.com team over an abundance of sushi crafted with quiet precision. It was a memorable night of laughter, toasts, and shared reflection on the community that Models.com has steadfastly chronicled and that has made the platform what it is today, and a fond look back before New York Fashion Week’s runways beckoned.
