Rosario Dawson, Orange is the New Black’s Dascha Polanco, Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga, among others, joined Courvoisier cognac at Industria Superstudio in New York City’s West Village for an Art + Fashion event that celebrated the cognac brand’s existing Exceptional Journey campaign. The campaign celebrates the path towards achieving excellence and recognizes individuals who have fully embraced the journey by reaching outstanding heights in their craft.

As part of the exclusive party, guests witnessed the unveiling of two new artistic collaborations in the worlds of art and fashion by a renowned group of artists and designers brought together for the project while listening to a DJ set by Brendan Fallis.

Party-goers enjoyed hand-crafted Courvoisier cocktails including The Exceptional Taste  (Courvoisier VSOP, Sherry, Sour Cherry Bitters) and  the Spice Station (Courvoisier VS, fresh lemon juice, ginger syrup, Aperol) created exclusively for the event by Courvoisier National Brand Ambassador Zahra Bates. Celebs and notables also enjoyed bites while taking in the two avant-garde installations featured in the space, designed to mirror a high-end gallery space.

During the party, American cubist painter Jack Laroux and French outerwear company K-Way unveiled a vibrant one-of-a-kind bespoke jacket (which Rosario and Dascha quickly wore), while fashion house EN NOIR teamed up with French creative studio and design lab Bonsoir Paris on a contemporary fashion/art installation for this unique project.
