15 minutes of fame with the corcoran 1869 society

STUDIO1869
Maybe people were celebrating the start of a holiday weekend. Maybe they were excited that rare works from Andy Warhol’s Pittsburgh Museum are on exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Or maybe the 700 guests were just having a rockin’ good time on October 7 as they celebrated the 1869 Society’s Washington- Life-sponsored extravaganza honoring the late pop artist’s exhibit. No matter what the reason, Washington’s younger social set, including Michael Craine, Kate Gibney, Michael Saylor, Mark Ein, Christopher Reiter, Sara Allen and Alison Lukes, were content to party in retro chic a ire as DJ Seyhan pumped up the volume with ‘70s disco beats and throbbing House music.

HEAVY BAGGAGE
Guests toted home gift bags with goodies from Kiehl’s, Patron tequila, Alchimie Forever, Urban Chic, Ann Hand, The Container Store, Alex Boutique, Sports Club LA, and Gucci, plus a copy of “The Philosophy of Andy Warhol from A to Z.”

AFTER HOURS
Approximately 200 revelers capped off the night by making their way to WL’s invitationonly a er-party on the roof deck of the popular Tabaq Bistro in Adams Morgan.
