Amber Valletta, Halima Aden, and Karolina Kurkova Attended the IMG Models x Etihad Airways NYFW Cocktail

Candles lit the way like breadcrumbs to the IMG Models x Etihad Airways twilight cocktail last night, toasting the three years the agency has flown with the airline. Bypassing swarms of New York Fashion Week attendees, in a tizzy at 50 Varick Street (aka Spring Place), all guests were granted access only after we received a pass from the guards. One quick elevator ride up and we found ourselves in the oxblood-colored sunken living room, which set the scene as drinks and hors d’oeuvres were dispersed among the crowd.

A quick survey of the room revealed guests Amber Valletta, Halima Aden, and Karolina Kurkova weren’t the only ones sporting fresh fashions: the stewardesses of Etihad were equally just as stylish, sporting looks that could have easily just walked off the runway. Mohammad Al Bulooki, Etihad COO, made the evening that much more special, announcing a partnership with the Swiss watch brand Breitling; an intimate dinner followed. It was a luxe night chock-full of fashion.
