The evening
On September 19, 2026 we brought live fashion sketching to a wedding at Hempstead House at Sands Point Preserve in New York. Three artists worked for four and a half hours in our Runway style and 140 guests went home with a sketch.
The house was dressed with roses, vines and candles, and a live band played through the evening. The artists were set up in a side room off the main celebration, and guests kept coming: at one point there was a queue at the table.
Nobody has to sit for a portrait. The host takes a quick photo, the guest goes back to the party, the artist draws from the photo, and the guest gets a text when the sketch is ready to collect, signed and in a protective sleeve.
