“This is so dope,” said surprise guest Chris Brown as he toured the space at 560 Washington, a room filled with RETNA’s works and the familiar faces of Richard Phillips, Irina Lazareanu and W’s own Stefano Tonchi. “I know this is Fashion Week, but you have to think about your art-spending budget as well!” said the singer. Even curator Roitfeld had to battle some serious obstacles to make it to the opening, though they had little to do with Fashion Week. “I’ve been in bed with a serious 39 degree [102.2 °F] fever since last night,” he shrugged. “I’m so sick, but I’m trying to stay focused. I wish they’d serve tea at the open bar.”
