On November 21, The Conservatory and ShopBAZAAR celebrated the launch of the The Conservatory x ShopBAZAAR Holiday Gift Guide with special guest, pop artist Ashley Longshore. During the event, Longshore signed her newest book, I Do Not Cook. I Do Not Clean. I Do Not Fly Commercial. 

The courtyard was transformed by noted event, designer Bryan Rafanelli (creator of Obama’s White House Christmas’) in pinks and reds, with hundredes of multi-colored candles, inspired by his book, A Great Party.

Ashley Longshore debuted a new installation of YES paintings in The Curriculum room, which are all available for sale exclusively at The Conservatory. 

ShopBAZAAR’s Editorial Director Jade Frampton selected a handful of her picks for gifting this holiday season. 

Notable guests included Harper’s Bazaar Editor-In-Chief, Glenda Bailey, Ken Downing, Carol Smith, Joyann King, Jade Frampton, Teddy Von Ranson, Anna Sui, Adam Lippes, Waris Ahluwalia, Jake Deutsch and Shannon Hoey. 

Guest sipped on Vie Vite and enjoyed custom cookies from Chefanie. The party continued at Bookbinders Cocktail Bar at TAK Room where guests enjoyed cocktails by Casa Dragones and bites by TAK Room.
