AprèsMET Returns to WSA as an Intimate, Elevated Affair

On fashion’s most spellbinding evening, the city’s style vanguard descended upon 161 Water Street for the third annual AprèsMET. Hosted by the cross-genre quartet of Alex Consani, Carlos Nazario, Paloma Elsesser, and Raul Lopez, the spectacle unfolded inside a one-night-only transformation of the downtown creative hub, reimagined as a moody, minimalist nightclub by Water Street Associates (, colloquially known as WSA) and brought to life in collaboration with fine jewelry brand Guzema. Guests entered beneath a towering seven-foot champagne sculpture and strolled beyond lace-clad dancers, stepping into an atmosphere equal parts cinematic and celebratory. A soundtrack by Jennings set the tone on the dancefloor, as cocktails by Lagavulin fueled quiet conversations and bold moves alike. Among those who made the scene: Stormzy, Vittoria Ceretti, Maximilian Davis, Myha’la, Sunisa Lee, and Lineisy Montero.
