The evening started as an intimate dinner with special guest Liz Johnson Artur, who photographed a striking new fashion portfolio for Document S/S 2019, and currently has her first solo exhibition (including a few photos from Document F/W 2018) on view at the Brooklyn Museum curated by Document contributor Drew Sawyer. Shamir—the delightfully unpredictable pop star who appears in Document photographed by McGinley in collaboration with Kim Jones’s Dior Men—gave a surprise acoustic guitar performance in between courses prepared by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Dinner was followed by a rousing party in the PUBLIC’s basement event space, where two of NYC’s most exciting rising DJs, Stud1nt and NK Badtz Maru, kept us up until closing time with a wild set that saw the two artists sharing booth duties.
