Jewelers, gallerists, and fashion executives alike gathered yesterday for a kickoff to the Winter Show’s January programming. Highly anticipated in the art world year after year, the Winter Show is one of the States’ leading art, antiques, and design fairs, held annually at the Park Avenue Armory. The evening, hosted alongside Buccellati at the jeweler’s New York flagship, served to build anticipation for the annual festivities.
The Scene: As New York’s nights start earlier, and a chill begins to cling to the air, guests gathered in the lush warmth of Buccellati’s glamorous Upper East Side townhouse, a five-story flagship coated in glossy oak and mirrored walls. Attendees received a special first look at what’s to come at the 2027 edition of the fair, slated for Jan. 22 to 31, with over 70 dealers bringing wares dating across 5,000 years.
The Crowd: Helen Allen, the Winter Show’s executive director, presided over the crowd. She was joined by Eden Arts Foundation founder Eden Xu-Martinez, architect and interior designer Yaiza Armbruster, Studio Palatin founder and artist Barbara Palatin, philanthropist Hope Rothschild, and actor Chloe Atkinson. Athena Art Foundation co-founder and ceramicist Loie DeVore, curator and consultant Laura Day Webb, and tastemaker Celina Prentiss rounded out the guest list.
The Occasion: The evening also teased the fair’s annual jewelry brunch, which will be held on Sunday, Jan. 24, a highlight of the Winter Show’s social programming. The brunch brings together leading voices across jewelry, fashion, art, and design to celebrate exceptional craftsmanship and creative expression. While they got a taste of what was to come, attendees sipped Franciacorta and nibbled on light bites amidst a glittering array of Buccellati’s latest.
