On the evening of April 26th, the highly anticipated experiential atelier by Hennessy X.O. was unveiled in the bustling neighborhood of SoHo.
The event celebrated the esteemed cognac brand's latest collaboration with Kim Jones, Artistic Director of Dior and Fendi. The pop-up marks the launch of the limited-edition bottle and masterpiece decanter, crafted with the fashion designer and an exclusive sneaker collection that seamlessly marries cognac and couture. It's a dazzling fusion of two distinct yet equally magnificent worlds.
The VIP opening night of the highly anticipated 'X.O Lab' was a star-studded affair, attended by a slew of notable creatives who came together to celebrate the pop-up launch and bask in the futuristic fusion of mixology, fashion, and design. The ambiance was complete with exclusive Hennessy X.O cocktails stirred to perfection by autonomous mechanical arms and delectable canapés courtesy of NYC institution Indochine.
