Christopher John Rogers made his much-anticipated return to the New York Fashion Week calendar with the debut of Collection 015: Exhale. To mark the momentous occasion he chose an equally discerning and high-design space within New York’s newest “it” spot, The Manner to celebrate.

The room was dotted with the prints and colors from the devoted Christopher John Rogers-clad crowd, punctuated with NY’s creative set from Antwaun Sargent to Tina Leung, Sean Garrette and Presley Oldham. Everyone enjoyed cocktails by Johnnie Walker Blue Label and kept the dance floor packed into the last night hours thanks to DJ Skype Williams.

The evening's guests included Christopher John Rogers, Tina Leung, Imran Amed, Antwaun Sargernt, Sean Garrette, Josie and Jake Dupont, Presley Oldham, Jeauni Cassanova, Bernard James, Jin Kim, Madison Utendahl, Igee Okafor, Peter Demas, and many more.

Nestled on a tree-lined street in SoHo, The Manner represents a distinct approach to hospitality—one that feels like being welcomed into the home of a dear friend. With 97 rooms including 10 suites and one Penthouse, the hotel offers two culinary concepts from Chef Alex Stupak: The Otter and Sloane’s. The Manner brand is now part of Hyatt’s new lifestyle group and will soon join World of Hyatt.
