Dom Pérignon celebrated its newly launched special edition, Vintage 2015, with a remarkable tribute to the iconic artist Jean-Michel Basquiat at The Brant Foundation in New York City’s East Village on October 10th, 2024. The star-studded event, attended by celebrities like Zoë Kravitz, Natasha Lyonne, and Luka Sabbat, brought together artists, creatives, and admirers of Basquiat’s legacy to experience an evening of artistic immersion and homage to his enduring influence on contemporary culture.

In tribute to Basquiat, the event featured an immersive display of his work In Italian (1983), the very piece that inspired the design of the special edition bottle. Guests were treated to a unique installation by famed photographer Maripol, who delved into her archives to capture the evening’s guests in real-time Polaroids, reminiscent of her celebrated work during New York’s vibrant art scene in the 1980s. The atmosphere of the event was charged with creativity, with attendees dancing to beats by DJ Justin Strauss after an opening jazz performance by the Onyx Collective—perfectly encapsulating Basquiat’s own fusion of visual art and musical expression.

The Brant Foundation, known for housing some of Basquiat’s most legendary exhibitions, provided the perfect backdrop for the event. Owned by Peter Brant, one of the top global collectors of Basquiat’s work, the venue is a non-profit organization hosting multiple exhibitions throughout the year, making it an ideal place for this unique celebration. Dom Pérignon’s Vintage 2015 draws inspiration from Basquiat’s most profound works, making this tribute a true meeting of two creative forces that push the boundaries of artistry.

Heroes, Heart and Hope Gala Raises Over $2.4 Million
The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) successfully hosted its 18th annual Heroes, Heart & Hope Gala on Wednesday, September 18, at the exquisite Casa Cipriani in New York City. The event was an inspiring celebration of remarkable athletes with physical disabilities, showcasing their achievements and the transformative impact of CAF's work. The room was filled with influential people from New York's elite circles, as well as celebrities like Bob Costas, who conducted an on-stage interview with CAF teen Rosalie Parker, sharing her emotional story with the captivated audience.
Guests were treated to an immersive experience that included powerful storytelling from CAF athletes and an entertaining program that emphasized the impact of supporting athletes, adaptive sports equipment and programs. Event Chairs and philanthropists Scott and Emily Stackman, who have been long-time advocates for individuals with physical disabilities, played a key role in the evening's success. The Stackman’s involvement with CAF for the past 18 years has not only transformed the organization but also their life. Their tireless efforts, from fundraising to organizing galas have been instrumental in fueling CAF’s growth and impact in the Northeast over the years.
In recognition of his dedication, Alan Mnuchin was honored at the gala for his contributions to the foundation. A longtime CAF supporter and volunteer since 2006, Mnuchin and his family have actively participated in various events and have helped raise funds to support adaptive sports equipment and programs.
“CAF is helping the next generation of athletes break down barriers and achieve what was once thought of as impossible,” said Scott Stackman, Host, Chairman and Gala founder. “The funds raised at our Heroes, Heart, and Hope Gala will have a profound impact on the lives of athletes with physical disabilities, enabling them to achieve their full potential and thrive."
Special guests of the evening included:
Scott and Tyler Sussman: Scott Sussman, a dedicated athlete and father, has always pushed himself and his teammates with heart and determination. Misdiagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at a young age, he rediscovered adaptive sports later in life. He and his son Tyler, both diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia, now participate in various adaptive sports, demonstrating resilience and the belief that anything is possible.
Rosalie Parker: A spirited 14-year-old athlete from Boise, Idaho, Rosalie found her passion for adaptive sports through a CAF baseball clinic and now serves as a role model within the CAF community. In 2020, Rosalie lost all four limbs in a life-changing car accident. While being interviewed by Bob Costas, Rosalie presented Bob with a painting. "I painted a woman at bat to symbolize the start of my journey in CAF,” she said. "I want to give this to you because I know you love sports. She's painted as a sunshine because it's the beginning of a new life.”
The gala was not just a celebration but a critical fundraising event, successfully raising over $2.4 million to support CAF’s mission. These funds will help provide adaptive sports equipment and programs for millions of individuals who lack access to the resources necessary to lead active and fulfilling lives.
Casa Cipriani provided a stunning backdrop for the evening, offering a blend of elegance and sophistication that complemented the gala's inspiring mission. Located at 10 South Street, Casa Cipriani is known for its luxurious atmosphere and breathtaking views, making it the perfect venue for an event of such significance.
There is still time to donate to the event to support challenged athletes in the Northeast and beyond, visit http://www.challengedathletes.org/hhhdonation to contribute to CAF and its programs.

Read More2024 Trends in NYC Luxury Real Estate
Luxury real estate in New York City is constantly evolving, and 2024 is no exception. The landscape of high-end properties is being shaped by a variety of trends that are exciting and innovative. As prospective buyers or current homeowners, understanding these trends can help us make informed decisions.
Innovative Architectural Designs and Smart Home Technology
Architectural designs in NYC luxury real estate are reaching new levels of creativity and innovation. We are seeing more properties incorporating unique and cutting-edge designs that combine both form and function. Curved lines, expansive glass walls, and open floor plans are all popular features that enhance the living experience. These designs not only look stunning but also create a sense of space and fluidity.
Another exciting trend is the rise of smart home technology in luxury homes. With smart home systems, we can control lighting, security, climate, and entertainment with just a few taps on our smartphones. These systems enhance convenience and security, making our homes more comfortable and efficient. Voice-activated assistants, smart thermostats, and automated lighting are some of the must-have features in modern luxury residences.
Moreover, technology extends beyond just the interior. Smart landscaping solutions, like automated irrigation systems and outdoor lighting, are becoming more common. Integrating these technologies into the architectural design ensures that every part of the home, both inside and out, is optimized for efficiency and ease of use. As smart home technology continues to evolve, it will likely become an even more integral part of NYC luxury real estate.
Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Features in Luxury Residences
Sustainability is a major trend in NYC luxury real estate for 2024. Many high-end properties now prioritize eco-friendly features that appeal to environmentally conscious buyers. Using sustainable materials and building techniques is a key focus, helping to reduce the environmental impact of construction.
Green roofs and walls are becoming popular because they provide insulation, reduce energy costs, and improve air quality. These features also add a touch of nature to the urban environment and create a visually appealing aesthetic. Additionally, energy-efficient windows, solar panels, and high-performance heating and cooling systems are being integrated into new luxury homes. These systems not only reduce our carbon footprint but also help lower utility bills.
Water conservation is another important aspect. Installing low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting systems, and native landscaping reduces water usage and supports a sustainable living environment. The move towards sustainability reflects a broader awareness of environmental issues and a commitment to responsible living. By incorporating these eco-friendly features, luxury residences in NYC are setting new standards for green living, making them attractive to buyers who value sustainability.
Rising Neighborhoods and Hotspots for High-End Buyers
In 2024, several neighborhoods in NYC are gaining attention as prime locations for luxury real estate. One such neighborhood is Hudson Yards. This newly developed area boasts state-of-the-art high-rises, shopping centers, and fine dining options. Its modern amenities and central location make it a top choice for high-end buyers.
Another hotspot is the Financial District. Once primarily a business district, it has transformed into a vibrant residential area. Luxury condos and penthouses with stunning views of the skyline and waterfront are attracting buyers looking for a blend of business and leisure. The area's development plans and proximity to major attractions add to its appeal.
Brooklyn's DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) is also becoming a desired area. Known for its artistic vibe and historic warehouses, DUMBO offers a unique mix of modern luxury and artistic charm. Many tech companies and startups have made it their home, bringing more amenities and services to the area and making it attractive for young professionals and families alike.
The Impact of Global Influences on NYC Luxury Real Estate
Global influences play a significant role in shaping NYC's luxury real estate market. Economic fluctuations, international buyer trends, and geopolitical events all impact demand and pricing. For example, international buyers, especially from countries like China and Russia, have historically invested heavily in NYC real estate. Changes in their home countries' economies can affect their ability and desire to invest abroad.
Moreover, currency exchange rates also influence international investments. A strong US dollar can make NYC properties more expensive for foreign buyers, potentially reducing demand. Conversely, a weaker dollar can attract more international investors looking for favorable deals.
Geopolitical events, such as trade agreements or conflicts, can impact the luxury real estate market as well. New policies or restrictions on foreign investments can either open up the market to new buyers or limit the influx of international capital. Understanding these global factors helps us anticipate shifts in the market and better navigate our real estate decisions.
Conclusion
Navigating the dynamic landscape of NYC luxury real estate in 2024 requires staying informed about new trends and influences. By understanding innovative architectural designs, smart home technology, and sustainability features, we can make savvy choices that align with modern living standards. Recognizing rising neighborhoods and the impact of global influences also equips us with the knowledge to make strategic decisions.
These trends are not just fleeting moments but reflections of broader changes in lifestyle, technology, and economic patterns. We can find the best opportunities and make our investments count as we explore these developments.

Tips for Hosting Summer Events in Hamptons Homes
Summer in the Hamptons offers an idyllic backdrop for hosting events, from intimate gatherings to grand celebrations. Whether you're planning a casual beachfront cookout or an elegant garden party, the key to a successful event lies in the details. As we venture through 2024, it's not just about throwing a party; it's about creating experiences that resonate with our distinctive Hamptonian spirit. The settings here, ranging from sprawling estates to charming seaside cottages, provide more than just a venue—they create a mood, a canvas on which unforgettable memories are painted.
Creating a standout summer event in the Hamptons involves a blend of creativity, careful planning, and understanding the unique ambiance of this coastal paradise. We delve into the essence of what makes events here so special—not just the breathtaking venues but also the customized themes, the gourmet local cuisine, and the orchestrated entertainment that speaks to each guest’s senses.
Let's guide you through preparing a summer event that not only impresses your guests but also harnesses the natural elegance and vibrant culture of the Hamptons. Whether you're a seasoned host or planning your first gathering, embracing these elements ensures your event will be talked about long after the summer fades.
Choosing the Perfect Setting for Your Hamptons Event
Finding the perfect setting for your event in the Hamptons is all about understanding the vibe and vision you want to create. We help you sift through a plethora of options, from quaint vineyards and rustic barns to elegant beachfront properties. Each venue offers a unique backdrop that can dramatically enhance the atmosphere of your gathering. When selecting a venue, consider the type of interaction you want your guests to have – whether it's more intimate with close seating and soft lighting, or a more open and airy space that encourages mingling and movement.
Location is key in the Hamptons. While beachfront venues boast breathtaking views and a breezy, natural ambiance, properties set in the lush, green landscapes offer an equally charming, but distinctly different, setting. It’s important to think about the time of day your event will take place, as well as the natural lighting available, which can transform the mood as the event progresses from day to evening. We guide you in choosing a locale that not only fits the theme of your event but also provides all the necessary amenities for comfort and convenience.
Designing Your Event: Themes and Decor Ideas
Once the location is set, designing your event to reflect a cohesive theme can truly bring your vision to life. We love guiding you through the selection of color schemes, floral arrangements, and decor elements that resonate with the Hamptons’ chic yet laid-back style. Whether you opt for a classic nautical theme with navy blues and crisp whites or a more eclectic bohemian style with vibrant colors and organic textures, the key is to harmonize the decor with the natural beauty of the Hamptons setting.
Themes can extend to every detail, from the invitations and table settings to the lighting and music. For a truly immersive experience, consider how these elements can interact to create a sensory experience for your guests. For instance, soft, ambient string lighting paired with gentle jazz can enhance an evening garden party, while bright, colorful lights and lively music are perfect for a beachside bash. We ensure that your theme is not only visually appealing but also creates the right atmosphere that engages your guests and leaves a lasting impression.
Essential Tips for Catering and Entertainment
Ensuring your event in the Hamptons has top-notch catering and entertainment is crucial to its success. We emphasize the importance of selecting local caterers who specialize in using fresh, local ingredients that reflect the season’s best offerings. Imagine your guests enjoying a dinner featuring freshly caught seafood or locally sourced vegetables. It’s not just a meal; it’s an experience that captures the essence of the Hamptons. When it comes to entertainment, whether you prefer a live band, DJ, or string quartet, we recommend talents that understand the locale's ambiance and can tailor their performance to your event’s overall theme.
Additionally, always consider the layout of your venue and the flow of the event when planning your catering and entertainment. Ensure there is ample space for buffet setups or plated service, as well as for any entertainment setups. We help coordinate these logistics, keeping in mind the timing of the event to ensure that everything from appetizers to the main course is served at the perfect moment, complemented by entertainment that keeps the energy alive throughout the celebration.
Managing Guest Logistics: Parking and Accommodations
Handling guest logistics effectively can greatly enhance the comfort and accessibility of your Hamptons event. Adequate parking is a must, particularly in such a high-traffic area during the summer season. We assist in arranging convenient parking solutions, possibly including valet services, to ensure that guests are not inconvenienced by a lack of nearby parking. Additionally, for guests who are traveling from out of town, securing accommodations is essential. We often recommend partnering with local hotels and rental homes that offer discounts for event groups, ensuring every guest has a place to stay close to the event site.
Considering transportation options is also crucial. For larger events or venues located off the main roads, arranging shuttles or car services may be advisable to ensure everyone arrives safely and on time. By managing these details, we ensure that your event goes smoothly from start to finish, making it memorable for all the right reasons.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, planning and executing a successful event in the Hamptons requires meticulous attention to every detail, from the setting and theme to the food, entertainment, and logistics. By choosing the right partners and focusing on local expertise, you can create an event that’s both beautiful and resonant with the unique spirit of the Hamptons.
At Off The MRKT, we are committed to helping you make each decision with confidence and ease. Let us guide you in creating unforgettable moments that you and your guests will cherish for years to come.
