On October 2, during Paris Fashion Week, Surface hosted a dinner with Azzedine Alaïa in the revered couturier’s private kitchen. Joining CEO Marc Lotenberg and editor-in-chief Spencer Bailey, the group of 60 guests included Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, Ronan Bouroullec, Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, Vanessa Friedman, Pierre Hardy, Nic Galway, Bianca Jagger, Kim Kardashian West, Kourtney Kardashian, Bettina Korek, Mathieu Lehanneur, Maye Musk, Peter Marino, and Carla Sozzani.
The dinner celebrated Alaïa’s appearance on the cover of the Fall Fashion issue and culminated with a toast from Bailey. “Surface believes in quality and craftsmanship,” he said. “And nobody embodies those things in fashion as much as much as Azzedine.” Surface partnered with American Express Platinum and Louis XIII cognac to produce the dinner.
