OC x Gordon Brothers

This fall we collaborated yet again with one of our favorite clients Opening Ceremony and the Boston based investment firm Gordon Brothers. Farm-to-Table treats were on the menu for this fashion meets finance cocktail party in the fashion labels HQ. Hamachi Skewers, Hen-of-the-woods mushroom crostini, seasonal pumpkin croquettes and more were just a few of the delectable bites on the menu. The guests sipped on French 75’s and champagne flowed all night for this casual cocktail party for 150 guests.

OC x EVERLANE

Longtime client Opening Ceremony came to HighLife and told us about their new collaboration with online fashion retailer Everlane; we were immediately hooked. Looking to maximize a minimal budget, OC wanted a “warm & fuzzy” fall feel to their kick off event in-store. One of our specialties is producing interesting, innovative, and immersive events in-store. HighLife engaged sponsors like Rekorderlig Hard Cider and Fentiman’s Ginger Beer for sponsorship as well as created hand crafted autumnal mixology like the “Vodka Apple Cider Ginger Smash” garnished with granny smith and candied ginger. In addition, we poured warm winter cider with rum & honey and danced the night away. Notables abounded like Humberto Leon, Michael Stipe, Kitty Cash, and Phil Sullivan. The HighLife staff looked dope AF in Everlane button downs, ready for winter.

Tech Savvy

Early in April as the showers subsided and the flowers began to bloom, HighLife collaborated with MEDIUM (An online community for readers and writers) and POSTLIGHT AGENCY (NYC’s premiere app design company) in this spring tech launch. HighLife florist Brenton Woods created unique spring floral installations from antique typewriters from PATINA VINTAGE with the menus of the afternoon freshly typed on the spool. Please note the gorgeous Pink Royal with accompanying cocktail. HighLife’s kitchen, Rapt Affairs created deluxe farm-to-bar treats like the “So My Type” with charred jalepeño and market carrot juice and the “Bless Your Heart” with Bourbon, market fennel, and fresh peach. More farm-to-table eats were passed on custom magazine sculpted trays (a Pinterest dream). Finally the evening was capped off with stellar service in this intimate affair for 100 in the heart of NYC’s Flatiron District.
