Chanel N°5 in the Snow pop-up with a performer on a giant perfume bottle

We have done winter before

In December 2019 our founder was wardrobe supervisor on Chanel N°5 in the Snow, an immersive alpine pop-up at The Standard, High Line.

And for six years she designed and built the costumes for the Joffrey Ballet's Nutcracker in New York. Few people in this city have spent more Decembers making winter look like something.

FAQ

How late can we book a holiday party?

It depends on what you want. Booking from our existing roster moves fast; a custom build needs more time. Tell us your date and we'll answer the same day.

Can you work in our venue?

Yes. We produce in ballrooms, lofts, rooftops and offices, and we plan around what the room allows.

How many guests can you handle?

From an office floor to a full gala. The scale changes the plan, not the approach.

Can you dress our staff as well as the performers?

Yes — wardrobe is built in-house, so the team greeting your guests can match the concept.

Do you do New Year's Eve?

Yes, and those dates go first.
