New York City is already revving up for fashion week. What’s a better way to spark the engine than a party co-hosted by Salt Murphy and PAPER Magazine?
PAPER teamed up with the Australia-born, Paris-based menswear label on a dinner party at neighborhood haunt Do Not Disturb, the event doubling as a preview of the label’s Autumn-Winter 2025 collection. With select attendees wearing the forthcoming collection, diners could be seen donning garments with various Salt Murphy signatures: low hung collars, playful lacing and in varied and assorted selection of sumptuous fabrics. One attendee even donned a see through, clear tank top, eliciting pictures and fanfare from guests.
In the center of it all, of course, was Mark Kenny, the brand’s founder and creative director. Also in attendance was an impressive crew of the city’s sharpest fashion minds: creator and stylists Jeauni Cassanova, Styledbyjules and Edward Park, models Monte Seven and Graveraet Eberley and Carlsen and Curtis Atanga, artist, photographer and art director Peter Demas, Kevin Chung, model and designer Jake Fleming, stylist Alexander Roth, photographer, stylist and model Tyler Mazaheri and PAPER’s resident Coolest Person In The Room photographer Diego Villagra Motta (who was also there snapping photos).
Salt Murphy has been steadily building its profile since its launch in 2020. Since then, Kenny has made the label a social media and every day favorite through his unique designs, which combine an easy wearability with a forward thinking approach to shape and fabric choice. All of that and more will surely be on display at Salt Murphy’s forthcoming collection.
With that in mind, the energy in the room at this signature PAPER dinner party was electric, with attendees noticeably excited for the busy fashion week festivities ahead. A confluence of stylists, models, creators, singers and designers, the dinner was a reminder of the powerful possibilities of what can happen when creatives convene in conversation and celebration. With a whole bevy of the season’s fashion shows and parties just around the corner, we’re sure we’ll see this creative crew a lot more in the weeks to come, but it was nice to get together before the madness begins. Cheers.
