We’ve already shared with you all of our favorite, can’t miss cocktails, dinners, and receptions (and you better believe that December 1 Alchemist x Art Ruby bash is still on top of our list!) but more champagne and vodka fueled joy keeps pouring into our mailboxes. Here are top 10 other affairs you might not want to miss!
- Terence Koh Children of the Corn opening reception presented by Vito Schnabel. Koh’s summer Hamptons opening was a big hit, so this W must won’t disappoint on Friday.
- Steve Martin’s art themed book reading at the W early evening of the 1st. Martin is a big collector so this is a nice little Basel sighting.Twitter alert!
- Paper Magazine party on December 2. Pharell is performing at the Tommy Hilfiger sponsored bash so it’s worth a trip all the way to 39th street in the Design District.
- Official W Basel welcome party on Tuesday. Just so you can schmooze with other hotel guests who spent $1,200+ a night on the fair’s greatest and mightiest hotel.
- Bruce Weber’s book signing at The Standard on the 2nd. Who doesn’t love that happy little bear?
- Bass Museum presents the work of Isaac Julien on the 1st. Lots of Grey Goose vodka to go with model filled Russian artist installation? Sounds awesome…
- DJ Ruckus and Paul Oakenfold at the Wall late night on December 1. How can you resist even if it means beating the models and bottles crowd for the best spot in the room?
- Swarovski Crystal Palace book launch & Cocktail with Nadja Swarovski at the Webster on December 2. Because we like everything that’s shiny!
- Chloe Fashion Show on December 4 at Soho Beach House. For those of you who actually worked during Paris Fashion Week.
- Annual ArtNexus Annual Art Basel Party at ONE Bal Harbour Resort & Spa. It’s a happy, rowdy crowd and they got shipments of Grey Goose to make things that much merrier on the 3rd.
