During the event, Nas discussed his experience collaborating with Italia Independent. In his remarks he stated:
“Ghostbusters was one of my favorite childhood movies, and it was important to me to partner with a brand like Italia Independent for this collaboration because they understand style and culture. I wanted to design a collection that speaks to the nostalgia of that era while keeping it fresh fun, sleek and wearable.”
Celebrity guests and VIP’s including Omari Hardwick, Angela Yee, Malik Yoba, Wendell Pierce, Claira Sulmers and more shopped and mingled with the hip hop icon, while enjoying cocktails provided by Monkey Shoulder Whiskey, Milagro Tequila, Independent Prosecco and Peroni Beer.
