It was a family affair—Mother toasted Chloe and Emma Fineman, with Chloe front and center for a freshly released 15-piece capsule nodding to European “It girls” and the American style icons of the ’60s. At Bar Bianchi—the Milan-inspired Italian eatery on Avenue A—cross-generational boldfaced names turned out.
For Fineman, the night felt full-circle. “My introduction to Mother really was just someone walking by and me being like, ‘What are those jeans?’ I was at a hair salon, and all these girls had M’s on their butt,” she tells Vogue.
The M’s were out, all right—dotting the denim of the beau monde hobnobbing over aperitivo. Martha Stewart, Leni Klum, and Taylor Hill hovered near a towering array of charcuterie; Liza Koshy, Dylan Mulvaney, and Elizabeth Gillies sampled tuna-tartare bruschetta and sipped rosé. Alisha Boe took her tequila-Aperol to the piazza-evoking patio. DJ Mei Kwok wore a faux-patent-leather two-piece from the collaboration. The bar became a time capsule, set to the groove of the ’60s.
“I just really love vintage. We were inspired by tailored ’60s—some Audrey Hepburn references, a little Jane Birkin, a little cheekiness,” Fineman said. “As a millennial woman, I feel like stuff hasn’t fit for a while. Coming back to New York in my 30s, everything’s been painfully oversized. I wanted pieces that are fitted, tailored, and look good on everybody. Clothes should be sexy and fun, and I feel like we really nailed that.”
And with that, the sexy-and-fun Italian disco carried on.
