Work was not easy on Friday after we all partied the night away at the Soho Grand Hotel the night before. If you weren’t aware, Fashion Indie co hosts a party every Thursday night at the hotel that’s organized by Niko Liakaris. We’re also lucky enough to team up with DJ Lindsay Luv, Jon Daly, Gabi Richmond and Against Nature as well.

This week we had a few special guests from CFE (Centre for Fashion Enterprise) and guest DJ Allan Bendy, along with Kate Lanphear and some friends from NYLON magazine all in attendance. Belvedere was kind enough to provide the party with way more than enough vodka, and like all of Niko’s parties, we didn’t let any of that go to waste.

So my good friend/famed NYC DJ (and now official Rock Of Love winner) Lindsay Luv called me mid afternoon yesterday asking what my costume plans were for our Soho Grand Hotel party, and since I was costume-less I was open to suggestions. Little did I know I ended up being the most convincing Bret Michaels besides the Ed Hardy toting weirdo himself. I love you Lindsay, but had you been anyone else who called me I would not have been able to make this happen.

A good friend of mine DJ Lindsay Luv recently got a chance to talk about her introduction into music, which lead to her current DJ fame, with Music Is Art, and I think you’ll all be surprised at what this badass chick has been able to accomplish at such a short time. Definitely be sure to read the entire interview here at Music Is Art! Also, don’t forget you can see her spin at the Soho Grand Hotel every Thursday night at a party co-hosted by Fashion Indie!

Big name actor Josh Hartnett was spotted weaving his way through the crowd to the bar at the Soho Grand last night. Like every Thursday night, the Soho Grand was the place to be as some New York’s trendiest turned up to enjoy some amazing drinks and even better music from DJ’s Lindsay Luv and Jamie Biden.

It seems that the hosting skills of Niko Liakaris, Jon Daly, Fashion Indie and Fresh Productions NYC are top notch, because another notable character by the name of Grace Jones was spotted enjoying the scenery as well. While Grace was chatting up the room feeling right in her element, Hartnett took a view of the room for a corner seat the bar to enjoy his drink.

Fashion Indie hit the streets last night to get our weekend started off right! The night started at the Soho Grand hotel for the new Thursdays at the Soho Grand party hosted by our wonderful friend Niko! Lindsay Luv was on the ones and twos, and the booze was graciously flowing like always. The crowd was full of the trendiest fashion people in town, and representatives of some of NYC’s top boutiques were in attendance.

Rebecca was kind enough to loan me one of her new jewellery pieces that I was getting compliments on all night! Look how good it looks next to the bottle of vodka we were drinking too!

The party pressed on to a new location, Marquee Club, for more free drinks and a little VIP status. The crowd was amazing, as was the DJ. We met a ton of new friends, and grabbed some great snapshots of some down right trendy folks!

Thanks again to Niko, Boris and James Coppola for all your amazingness!!!

Have your Thursdays become boring and repetitive? Well there’s a new party in town people. Thursdays at Soho Grand kicks off this Thursday, and Fashion Indie will be there documenting the entire thing! Did I mention my new friend Lindsay Luv is going to spinning along with Jamie Biden (If you haven’t checked out Lindsay’s new mixtape either get on that shit now!). It’s going to be an amazing party, so put together your hottest outfits and come hang!

What: Thursdays @ Soho Grand

Where: 310 West Broadway New York 10013

When: Thursday August 6th 10pm-2am

I’m sure by now you’ve seen all of our ‘Last Night’s Party’s from last week, and you know that Thursday night we were at Webster Hall for Diesel’s U:Music talking with Cobra Starship and Passion Pit, and then avidly blogged until 5am so that you could all see the details from the night first, so our weekend started quite early.  Of course, we headed out Friday and Saturday to some different spots so we could (hopefully) have crazy/funny stories on Monday.

Our Friday started early as we felt the effects of staying up all night, and woke up early to head to the Nylon and SoBe Life Water sample sale and runway event and were sad to find that Daniel and Rebecca were not there.  Regardless, the event was a good time, a great turnout, and I got a few Hellz Bellz tees from the sample sale (which I’m quite excited about). Photos of this event are now up on Cult. Later, we met Daniel and Rebecca and headed over to a meeting with a potential party spot for Fashion Indie, and enjoyed a nice lunch. Then it was time for naps before the real partying began.  

Corey’s night started out at Webster Hall with Atrak, here’s what he had to say:

I spent Friday night at Webster Hall courtesy of my new aquaintance Lindsay Luv. As if the bottle service wasn’t enough, we had the best table in the house for A-Trak and Treasure Fingers, two of the best (and my favorite) DJ’s in the industry. The floor below was jam packed with kids, 90% of which couldn’t see they were so messed up, but every last one of them couldn’t help but move to the insanity that was A-trak. For a DJ set I must say it ended a bit early, so that meant it was time head over to The Annex to meet up with Hillary for promised fun at Ruff Club with Aaron K.

–

I never fail to follow through on a promise. After hitting up Angels and Kings (a bar I actually used to frequent..no mocking, please), I realized exactly why I stopped going there, so left and headed to have some real fun at Ruff Club.

Aaron K was ready to party as usual, in his giant tulle bow fastened with a brooch (which was absolutely amazing), and so were all of our other friends at Ruff. Needless to say, the night was full of good music, good friends, and not one, but two bottles. We closed the night outside chatting with new friends, and headed back to World Trade around 5am, luckily making it without any lost shoes.

–

Saturday was a bit more low-key (although I did not fail to miss the parade happening in Jersey City, anyone know what that was?), I headed down to Peculiar Pub to meet with Corey and a few of his old friends, and found myself surrounded with people I would find at every bar in Michigan (which isn’t a good thing, like that guy up there from the “New Haircut” video on Youtube) After a drink we left and headed to Red Head, which was quiet and relaxed, just the way I like it for a Saturday night.  We somehow managed to look down at our phones and realize it was 3:30AM, so closed the night with the bar, and parted ways.

No complaints for this weekend, it was a lot of fun, and we love Ruff Club as usual, sorry for the lack of crazy stories, I’m sure we’ll make up for it this week!
