As New York City preps for upcoming holiday festivities and all that is to follow, BOND OFFICIAL stays committed to keeping its tradition of shared experiences.

On Wednesday night on Park Avenue South, a nifty group of ladies and gentlemen made their way to Verōnika for a formal sit-down affair: a chic Halloween dinner co-hosted by, Editor-In-Chief, Igee Okafor and Desta, Director of Cultural Engagement at Neuehouse/Fotografiska.

Located on Park Avenue South on the second floor of famed photography museum, Fotografiska, Verōnika boasts everything aesthetically maximalist and luxurious as soon as you walk through its doors. Grandiose archways, lavish brass chandeliers, and velvet upholstery. It has all the European flair.

It’s the atmosphere a candle lit table brings especially when surrounded by European delicacies, velvet furniture and brass chandeliers.

“The BOND OFFICIAL brand is inspired by the concept of sharing things together. Halloween in general signifies an official change in the season and I’m sure for most of us are feeling it, mentally and objectively. I hope we are all embracing the changes in our lives through self, career and relationships.” BOND OFFICIAL Editor-In-Chief Igee Okafor told us. “That’s the idea for tonight’s dinner. We want to celebrate old and new friends as well as what lies ahead for BOND OFFICIAL’s growth with you,” he continued.

Seated at the table, guests, many of whom were dressed in their best interpretations of iconic Studio 54 ensembles as themed for the evening, gently sipped on champagne and socialized decorously. It was all very reflective of a modern era of glamor.

Honorable attendees included Rafael Cemo Cetin, Katya Tolstova, Dj Malik Lindo, Simon Gold, Jovel Roystan, Serena Goh, Brandon Murphy and Steve Gonzalez.

Celebrations continued next door at Chapel Bar, where dancing commenced courtesy of beats by DJ Lauren.
