Monday night, Belstaff and BlackBook joined forces for a dinner at Rosette on the Lower East Side to celebrate the women of New York:  author Julia Chaplin, actress Annabelle Dexter Jones, Guest of a Guest founder Rachelle Hruska MacPherson, and artist Josephine Meckseper. As videos of the honorees were beamed from the cavernous bar area, guests enjoyed summery SVEDKA Clementine cocktails created for the event and named after each of the four women. (Not to play favorites, but the minty Rachelle was particularly tasty.) Soulful singer/songwriter, Sophia Bastian sang as attendees ate delicious, elevated, comfort food, family style. By the end of the night, attendees had spilled out onto the street, everyone eager to continue the party, even in the pouring rain.
