Aperture and Friends Celebrate “The Design Issue”

On June 12, the photography journal gathered writers, artists, and well-wishers at the Times Square Edition on the occasion of its design issue release. The evening featured an introduction by Aperture chief editor Michael Famighetti, who shared that the issue heralded a new look for the 72-year-old publication. Against the backdrop of a classic New York City summer sunset, guests mingled over a DJ of vintage records spun by photographer Stefan Ruiz, and joined Famighetti in toasting the magazine contributors present. Notables in attendance included Ryan McGinley, Coreen Simpson, Jamie Savren, Camilla Molo, Thessaly LaForce, and more. Photos by Yolanda Hoskey.
