Humberto Leon Spreads the Love for Lunar New Year

On Feb. 8, Humberto Leon and D’USSÉ Cognac gathered friends and family for an intimate Lunar New Year dinner during New York Fashion Week. Held at Casino in the heart of Chinatown, the dinner was curated and prepared by CHIFA, marking the L.A. hotspot’s first-ever presence in New York City. The evening was a lavish toast to Leon and D’USSÉ’s limited-edition red envelope collaboration in the spirit of the Lunar New Year tradition to present loved ones with red pockets filled with money as a symbol of luck and good fortune. Throughout the evening, guests caroused over custom cocktails, including the signature Leon’s Lucky Highball made with DUSSÉ XO, rice milk, sesame oil, green tea, and cucumber. As the night wrapped up, guests received a personalized red envelope with a $1 bill inside. Notables in attendance included David Byrne, Chloe Flower, Raul Lopez, Rowan Blanchard, Quil Lemons, Myles Loftin, Hunter Schafer, Heidi Bivens, Claire Danes, and more. Photos by Sansho Scott/BFA.
