Yvan Rodic Captures AnOther Mag's Party at Pulqueria

We’ve always said, “no rest for the weary,” and when you’re dealing with Fashion Week, the saying goes above and beyond the 6-inch heels we’ve seen at Milk Studios this week (seriously, how do you ladies even wear those??). Between our Kanon bar located on the 8th floor, checking out shows, talking to designers like Carlos Campos, and general cocktail research with the folks from Apotheke–we’ve been busy. That being said, we’re never too busy for a good party and a good time. When the folks from Apotheke invited us to their new bar called Pulqueria to help toast AnOther Magazine's 21st issue launch last night, we grabbed our dancing shoes and headed straight to Chinatown. Hidden on one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it side streets whose only indication of a bar last night was the large smoking crowd outside, Pulqueria is set up like a fancy cantina. Awesome. Upon our arrival, we were led down a narrow dark staircase that opened up to a bar exploding with music and good looking people.

Polaroids from the Kanon Bar at Milk Studios
Jared Leto, Harry Beee
It’s not often you get to be a professional fly on the wall. But that's exactly what we've been over the past few days. We decided to station ourselves at our 8th floor Kanon bar (curated by Apotheke) at Milk Studios this week, to try and catch the fashion crowd's reactions to our libations firsthand. And really, we haven't been disappointed. If you’ve been following our Twitter feed, you know we’ve had quite an eclectic and completely awesome crowd of fashionistas, editors, and generally good looking folk (hello, Ed Westwick) come through and taste our delicious designer-inspired cocktails over the weekend.

Russell Simmons, Ellie Goulding and More Come Out for the Alex Wang After Party
Alexander Wang
When you focus on quality rather than quantity in life like us, you rarely end up disappointed. And we like to think such is the case for the parties we've been throwing on both coasts over the past year. But every now and then, a party comes along that's so epic, that we're forced to raise the bar on our standards – no pun intended. Alex Wang is known for throwing some of the best parties of Fashion Week, and we couldn't have been more thrilled to take over the bar at last night's celebration of his spring/summer '12 collection. Actually, epic doesn't even begin to describe it. With a frat party theme in place, all the great elements of our college party memories were there – glow sticks, endless amounts of alcohol (aka Kanon), Greek letters and pictures of naked girls adorning the walls, beer pong, and the inevitable end-of-the-night climax involving loud music (thanks to a performance by Odd Future) and spurts of champagne raining over the crowd more aggressively than Hurricane Irene.

Face Hunter Takes Montauk

When you've had too much fun partying (if there is such a thing) on any given night, and things start to get a bit fuzzy, it’s always helpful to have great photog friends around who you can count on to document things–for better or worse. And like we’ve always said, our FOKs are a talented bunch. Enter Yvan Rodic, perhaps better known as Face Hunter, whose blog of seriously gorgeous people and good times realized is on our docket of daily reads.

Yvan may be a European transplant, but you wouldn’t know that from the crazy amount of American flags he surrounded himself with on 4th of July weekend in Montauk when he documented our unforgettable weekend for “The Face Hunter Show.” Between visits with friends like Ben Pundole and Ben Watts before their Shark Attack Soundz party at Rick’s Crabby Cowboy Café (where the best looking crowd we’ve ever seen danced for hours, Kanon in hand) and hanging with Scott Lipps at his home in "HamptonBridge" (as Yvan calls it) to our sundown party at Ruschmeyer’s, Yvan’s Montauk tour already has us planning our next trip. Check out his video here–but be warned. It’ll make you start strategizing excuses to ditch work in favor of flagging down the next Jitney outta town.

Facehunter Takes Manhattan Part 2
Longtime friend of Kanon Yvan Rodic, also known as The Facehunter, and W recently launched part two of his video series on their site. Last week, we gave you a peek at his day spent in SoHo searching for The One, and now in part two he's ventured to the Meatpacking to see what style and unexpected beauty he can find on the nearly empty cobblestone streets. Rodic even stopped by one of our favorite spots, the Jane Hotel, for a night out with Kanon. "That's the beauty of what I do and the romantic side of the hunting; you never know what's going to happen. Finally after hours and hours, you find the most beautiful person in the world," Rodic says. So does he find this in the end? Well, you'll just have to see for yourself.

Watch Now: Facehunter Takes Manhattan
What can we say? It's Monday and nothing we could say makes that any better. But we'll definitely try to ease the pain with a bit of entertainment to distract you from the fact that you most likely spent the day sober and working. On a holiday. Featured on the site Nowness, "Facehunter Takes Manhattan" follows our well-coiffed FOK, style photog Yvan Rodic (a.k.a. Facehunter), doing what he does best – tracking down style on the streets of Manhattan.

Directed by fellow FOK, Alexander Klein, the film gives us a peek behind the lens and shows Yvan in his natural habitat. Perhaps our favorite part: the short film follows Facehunter to a Kanon dinner at The Fat Radish, one of the most memorable nights we spent with friends in 2010. There's even a couple cameos from two of our favorites, Steven Rojas and Chrissie Miller – and yours truly, of course. And we never turn down a well-placed cameo.

Facehunter Exhibit at the W
Yvan Rodic with a friend
We're sure you've all heard of our FOK (Friend of Kanon) Yvan Rodic, though you probably know him best as style photographer Facehunter. Last night, he showed off some of his amazing photography at the W Hotel in Times Square and we were there to help out with some signature cocktails and an adoring eye. Here's a look at some of his own photos from the event. And you thought there was nothing worth going to Times Square for...

FÖK Portrait Series with Yvan Rodic
It kind of sucks going to a foreign city and wandering the streets filled with gorgeous girls who don’t speak your language. You’re in limbo. You can approach and stumble out a few butchered words of French or Swedish coupled with a half-assed pantomime and usually get a “I don’t know what the hell you’re saying and you scare me”-look. There is a loophole, though. Buy a camera. All of sudden those scared and annoyed looks turn coquettish and intrigued by the intrepid foreigner armed with a lens and some bravado. It’s true. Watch Yvan Rodic approach a ridiculous blonde in Soho. You see her face somehow express curiosity, arousal, and flattery at the same time. It also helps if you have your own book. Not just a book, like a book with your actual name on it. Damn you, Yvan.

Yvan Rodic Shooting Jenna Elizabeth
For our FÖK PORTRAIT SERIES filmmaker Jenna Elizabeth has done a great disservice to every single guy on earth with one quote. She tells us she falls in love every time with every person she shoots. This is like the way fucking cooler version of the guy who thinks the stripper reeeeeaaallly likes him this time. Way fucking cooler. Instead of smelling like strawberries and Cool Water cologne and harboring some crazy daddy hatred, she’s got a vintage record collection and a jean jacket given to her after an all-night bender at the Chelsea Hotel with Julian Casablancas, Mick Rock, and the ghost of Sid Vicious.

During the shoot Yvan Rodic turns the camera back on Jenna and discusses slow motion porn, rock and roll, and falling in love. Watch Jenna's premiere FÖK PORTRAIT SERIES featuring Yvan Rodic.

Other brands keep distilling their heads and tails, milking as much heart as they can which actually strips away sweet flavours and creates ethanol and the burn so many have come to expect from vodka. We don't favour profit over quality. Learn More
