Harper’s Bazaar ICONS by Carine Roitfeld
When it comes to recognizing a feat as enormous as Harper’s BAZAAR’s 150 years in the United States, one celebration simply is not enough. Early this year, Harper’s BAZAAR celebrated its 150th Anniversary, “BAZAAR ICONS BY CARINE ROITFELD”, in New York City, and to continue this celebration with the help of Empire Entertainment Japan, the 150th Anniversary celebration Tokyo Edition was held.
On October 26, held at the exceptional Joel Robuchon restaurant in Ebisu, top celebrities walked the black carpet while the Harper’s BAZAAR logo was beautifully displayed on the face of the building. Following the arrivals and to officially start the celebration was a toast by the BAZAAR ICONS organizer, the fashion world`s very own Carine Roitfeld. The highlight of the evening was a special performance from world-acclaimed musician MIYAVI.
Empire was honored to be involved in the successful planning and casting of this celebration, once again proving its expertise in producing high-profile events around the world.
