Inside Rodial’s New York Fashion Week Lunch at Casa Tua
Fresh from New York Fashion Week, Rodial founder Maria Hatzistefanis hosted an intimate lunch at Casa Tua with her New York fashion friend Elizabeth Kurpis to celebrate Rodial’s cult Salmon DNA collection and give guests an exclusive first look at the brand’s mystery new range launching next week.
A Rodial afternoon in Manhattan
Fashion, friendship and a first look
Kelly Turlington Burns, Kate Davidson Hudson, Lilah Ramzi, Alejandra Alonso Rojas, Priya Shukla and Lesley Vecsler were among the guests, with conversation ranging from NYFW and the new school year to beauty, business and the ever-evolving world of AI.
Salmon DNA at the centre
A cult collection, celebrated in New York
Rodial’s Salmon DNA collection anchored the afternoon, woven through the table setting and conversation as the brand welcomed friends from fashion, beauty and media.
Alongside the familiar collection came a first glimpse of what is next: a mystery Rodial range due to launch the following week.
Beauty, business and what’s next
Conversation beyond the table
The lunch had the easy pace of a catch-up between friends, but conversation moved far beyond Fashion Week. Guests exchanged views on beauty, business and how AI continues to reshape creative industries and the way brands connect with customers.
It made the afternoon feel less like a formal launch and more like a snapshot of the conversations shaping fashion and beauty now.
A suitably chic New York moment
Perfectly coordinated, by accident
In an unplanned fashion moment, Maria and Elizabeth arrived perfectly coordinated in autumnal brown and burgundy, both in pointed slingbacks — a suitably chic note for a Rodial afternoon in Manhattan.
From New York Fashion Week to Rodial’s next chapter.
