New York - June 25
Brooklyn’s glittering coastline is about to bloom with glamour on June 26, 2025, when the iconic SkyWise Lounge hosts one of the year’s most buzzed-about sartorial soirées — Fashion Dinner with Andre Tan. Set against the refined backdrop of 2027 Emmons Avenue’s panoramic third floor, the event promises an unforgettable blend of fashion, culture, and commerce, where velvet rope exclusivity meets red carpet sophistication. And yes — this is your call to come dressed for the Garden Gala of the year.
Presented by URC Life in collaboration with PWR Media PR and Este Management, and proudly partnered by JRF Studio and Livein Magazine, the evening is more than a stylish dinner party. It’s a power summit for creatives, entrepreneurs, and anyone who breathes fashion and speaks fluent style. The limited-capacity affair is designed to spark ideas, conversations, and opportunities — all with Ukrainian cultural pride and global aesthetics at its core.
Fashion Meets Flora: The Dress Code Decoded
The theme? Garden Gala Elegance — a smart, modern twist on ethereal femininity and natural masculine polish. It’s a study in contrasts: romantic but structured, lush but tailored, fresh but refined. Attendees are encouraged to channel their inner runway muse with a palette pulled straight from a high-end botanical dream.
Expect to see:
- Pastels like powder pink, mint, and lavender whispering in chiffon silhouettes.
- Naturals like ivory, caramel, and beige reimagined in suiting and sleek eveningwear.
- Floral tones in rose, peach, and lilac floating across layered prints or blooming as accents.
- Greens — think sage, emerald, and olive — rooting the event’s botanical heartbeat.
This isn’t your grandmother’s garden party. Metallics in gold and champagne will glint from earrings, clutches, or tux lapels. For women, it’s the perfect playground to experiment with voluminous sleeves, feathers, transparent fabrics, and statement jewelry. Men, meanwhile, are expected to bring out their best dark-toned suits or curated sets, punctuated by floral flourishes and sharp accessories. Neat shoes, tailored cuts, and a fearless pocket square are the uniform of the night.
A Fashion-Forward Program
What makes this event so magnetic? It’s not just the dress code — it’s the content. Andre Tan, the legendary Ukrainian designer and creative force, will be hosting a private master class on 2025–2026 fashion trends, sharing insider knowledge that’s as relevant for designers as it is for brand leaders and stylists.
The night kicks off with a Red Carpet and VIP networking session, where clinking glasses and flashbulbs set the tone. Then, expect a panel discussion brimming with industry intel, cultural integration, and entrepreneurial insight. And yes — attendees will get the rare opportunity for personal dialogue with Andre Tan himself.
Style, Storytelling, and Ukrainian Soul
What makes this gathering pulse with more than just glamour is its purpose. Beyond celebrating beauty, the Fashion Dinner serves as a cross-cultural platform, amplifying the voice and vision of the Ukrainian community in America. It's a night of inspiration, yes — but also of collaboration, representation, and bold artistic unity.
With tickets flying fast and reservations capped, this is not the event to sit out. Secure your seat at urclife.org/event/andretan-ny or dial 224-298-8889 — because when fashion, florals, and fearless minds collide under the Brooklyn stars, magic happens.
So go on — iron the suit, steam the dress, dust off that statement clutch. June 26 is calling, and it wants you in full bloom.
