Despite the brutal chill outside, Versace’s sun-soaked silhouettes warmed the room at its celebration of the Spring/Summer 2026 collection with CULTURED. Hosted by Editor-in-Chief Sarah Harrelson, the event commemorated the latest designs alongside CULTURED‘s upcoming Entertainers Issue—hitting newsstands on Feb. 18. Inside the Italian house’s SoHo boutique, guests lingered between vibrant hues, advance copies of the new issue, and the thrum of conversation.
The Locale: Versace’s flagship at 111 Greene Street served as the backdrop, ushering in the new season with the Maison’s unmistakable flash and glamour.
Food and Drink: Marbled jello-shots in an array of flavors made the round on silver trays, as glasses of champagne were poured and passed throughout the store—an unspoken accessory to the looks on display.
The Crowd: On the scene to take in the collection were interior designers Alyssa Kapito and Sarah Ivory; stylist Becky Akinyode; patrons Tanya Traykovski and Carla Shen; style tastemakers Cyrus Vessi, as well as Curtis and Carlsen Atanga; dealers Valentina Akerman, Dobrinka Salzman, and Alex Bass; actor Marta Pozzan; writer Jalil Johnson; and hairstylist Brad Mondo.
Parting Gift: During an entirely shoppable evening, guests scanned the coveted collection to pick out and take home a select few garments. As the party came to a close, an attentive eye may have seen a trail of white Versace shopping bags drift off into the bustling SoHo night, magazines under arm.
