Summer is just another word that means party to me and other nightlife enthusiasts, and last night such enthusiasts were at it again in Midtown, as the likes of Lisa Anastos, Fabiola Beracasa, Kipton Cronkite, Peter Davis, and Thom Filicia along with The Young Patrons Circle of American Friends of the Louvre celebrated I.M Pei, the 20th Anniversary of the Louvre's Pyramid, and a few other topics that Elle Magazine, Dior, and British Airways felt necessary to celebrate. Held in an Pei-designed penthouse with Pei himself in attendance, and set to the beat of Absolut cocktails, cocktail attire, and an absolutely gorgeous night view, the event certainly stood out in strength of atmosphere amongst the varied summer soirées -- however, some of us forget the cultural significance of partying for a cause. How does one navigate the mix of muddled parties to know what it is they're benefiting? Soirée au Louvre benefit host committee member and arty partier David Chines breaks down last night's event, discussing the significance of the party venue and how we can also be a friend of the Louvre (yes we can!).
