The Moments Of Smart Luxury Event Presented By Gc Swiss Watches
Last night we were cordially invited to attend Gc’s Moment of Smart Luxury event at the beautiful TIFF Bell Lightbox, located in downtown Toronto on the sixth floor looking down to the bustling nightlife of King Street West.
Enter Gc Swiss Watches
Some new and marketed GC Swiss Made Timepieces were being showcased as guests filled the space, surrounded by watches, food, wine, and more to keep them entertained and mingling.
First Impressions
As soon as the elevators doors opened, people flooded the sixth-floor Malaparte entrance to get their coats checked, get a quick picture in front of the Gc wall and it as runway walk down the hall.
Malaparte served as a nice branded entrance to the high-ceilinged room. To the left was the bar with the ceiling sloping nicely down to the bar, while to the right, the Dj was spinning some great music. The lighting of the venue was bright enough to see who you are talking with, pictures were easy to take without the use of a lot of artificial light and the music was a nice level so you could stay suave and debonaire, while not yelling into someone’s ear during the conversation.
Moving around the room, there was a mixed bag of media, fashion, TV and film personalities. All of which were dressed up and made a real effort, knowing that cameras were going to be there flashing with fashion and watches discussed. You must look the part if fashion is being discussed!
Malaparte provided hors d’oeuvres and cocktails, while the spotlight was on the three Rising Stars that were featured.
The first one to be featured was Rising Star, a beautiful Alexandria Pellegrino of Cake Opera Company, who makes stunning cake, sweet designs and delicious decorations. The third on the docket, was Rising Star, cool Frankie Solarik. This Barchef Mixologist provided ‘The Gala’ signature cocktail to attendees that cooled down the back of their throats that were being worked by lots of conversations around the room. Finally, a towering Jano Badovinac was being featured as Rising Star, working at Fugitive Glue, while creating some really interesting industrial design pieces, and provided the Node Garden Jack for the photo booth.
