Jamaica Vibes Take Over SOHO
Prestige publishing house Assouline celebrated its latest fashionable title- Jamaica Vibes- with distinctive elan– and a snazzy tropical-themed event hosted by two iconic Jamaican impresarios– Chris Blackwell and Adam Stewart.
The most iconic Jamaican alive, with his generational influence on The Culture worldwide, is Chris Blackwell: music legend, hotelier founder of Island Outpost and rum trader. In tango with the heir-apparent-maverick who–in his still brief reign as the Executive Chairman & CEO of Sandals Resorts International– has invigorated and taken that blue-chip West Indian hospitality behemoth to even greater heights. ”Innovation and Commitment” are the mantras that have firmly established Adam Stewart as the world’s leading hospitality mogul of the moment.
The setting — the pool/rooftop of JIMMY at the James Hotel in Soho naturally attracted the sexy, fashionable Downtown mix of models, fashion
designers and cool, edgy movie stars like Gina Gershon, most famous for her role as Donatella Versace for Showtime. Martine Assouline and her fellow A-level socials – Ann Dexter-Jones and Karen Duffy, fabulous Bravolebrities – Dorinda Medley, Kelly Bensimon and Carole Radziwill and fashion designers Peter Som to Dennis Basso. Of course, the Chris Blackwell rum flowed all night, and the Jamaican jerk chicken was finger-licking delicious.
