Tanya Taylor blows out 10 candles on the cake

Congrats are in order for Tanya Taylor, both the namesake designer and the NYC-based brand. The label just celebrated its 10th anniversary, not to mention its first-ever retail location on Madison Avenue, so what better reason than to host a party? Taylor took over Dowling’s at The Carlyle for a night to remember, inviting both friends of the brand and her community of fellow designers to say cheers to the last decade. For the occasion, a custom Tanya Taylor claw machine was a crowd-pleaser, thanks to prizes up for grabs including an Edie Parker bag, a Larroude clutch, Jennifer Fisher earrings, Apercu sunglasses, and Barbara Sturm products. The industry’s most notable names all stopped in for a martini or two, including Emmy Rossum, Chelsea Clinton, Natalie Massenet, Christopher John Rogers, Wes Gordon, Brandon Maxwell, Anna Van Patten, Huma Abedin, Lameka Fox, Lindsay Ellingson, Tricia Akello, Brianna Lance, Charlotte Groeneveld, Courtney Halverson, Emily Kammeyer, Ginger Lu, Jenny Cipoletti, Krystal Bick, Lauren Chan, Leandra Medine Cohen, Maayan Zilberman, Nicolette Mason, Serena Goh, Violet Gaynor, Sophie Auster, Carolyn Angel, Destinee Ross-Sutton, Kathleen Lynch, Racquel Chevremont, Sarah Hoover, Batsheva Hay, Brett Heyman, Henry Zankov, Jonathan Cohen, Marina Larroude, Claire Olshan, Cleo Davis Urman, Erik Torstensson, Jason Weinberg, Paul Arnhold, Caroline Grosso, Samantha Barry, Andrew Gelwicks, Caitlin Burke, Solange Franklin Reed, and Thomas Carter Phillips, amongst many more.
