Last night, we celebrated our partnership with La Ligne with a lush cocktail hour followed by a cozy French bistro-themed dinner—and it was nothing short of parfait.
At our downtown NYC loft, Sakara founder and co-CEO Danielle DuBoise played host alongside La Ligne founder Meredith Melling, toasting to our collaboration on a limited-edition Sakara green sweater (exclusively available with our Fall Reset) alongside inspiring guests, including model Anne V; Vanity Fair fashion director Nicole Chapoteau; chefs Woldy Kusina and Tara Thomas; founder of The WIE Suite Dee Poku; and designer and actor Waris Ahluwalia.
Melodies from harpist (and Sakaralite) Lexie Lowell and red rose arrangements from Pearl Holmes transported us to a Parisian café, as did a commissioned caricature artist, capturing attendees’ style (and S-Factor) with every sketch.
Following a cocktail hour featuring organic wine from Avaline and small batch Solento tequila, guests gathered for a coursed, plant-rich menu crafted by our Sakara chefs.
First up: Bistro Salad, featuring frisée, haricot verts, “chèvre,” and oven-roasted tomatoes. Late Summer Ratatouille followed, paired with a gluten-free baguette and herb “butter,” and, for dessert, a Raspberry Chocolate Tart featuring a puffed quinoa and chocolate crust, hazelnut cream, and fresh raspberries.
All in all, it was a fête worthy of our chic collaboration sweater—and one set amidst the buzz and hype of New York Fashion Week, nonetheless. (Get in on the party with a La Ligne Mini Marina Sweater of your own, gifted to you when you join us for our Fall Reset. Don’t wait—our limited-edition design is going fast…)
