To kick off New York Fashion Week in style, fashion influencer Gab Waller gathered a glamorous group of friends and industry insiders to celebrate the launch of the newly released Vogue app with Vogue100. The elegant event took place at The Pen Top, the exclusive rooftop venue at The Peninsula Hotel, offering breathtaking views of Fifth Avenue.
As a Vogue app contributor and Vogue shopping columnist, Waller is known for her expertise in sourcing highly sought-after pieces. Originally from Sydney, she established her eponymous company in 2018 to provide elusive luxury items for clients in Australia. Her business quickly expanded globally, attracting a stylish clientele that includes celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Khloé Kardashian, and Lori Harvey.
The intimate gathering featured a mix of designers, Instagram notables, entrepreneurs, and fellow Vogue contributors, each showcasing their personal style. Guests were eager to exchange NYFW schedules and share their favorite collections from the week’s spring 2025 debuts.
Bringing her column to life, Waller curated a selection of fall’s most coveted accessories in collaboration with Mytheresa. The selection featured standout pieces like the leather Chloé thigh-high boots, worn by Waller herself, a patchwork suede shoulder bag by Khaite, and the signature sparkly Alaïa ballet flats.
The event was beautifully decorated with Parisian pink roses from Élan Flowers, adding a touch of romance to the rooftop setting. Guests enjoyed a delicious menu that included burrata with fresh tomatoes and peaches, followed by sumptuous halibut and chicken entrée dishes. The afternoon concluded on a sweet note with velvety mille-feuilles, the perfect ending to the savory luncheon.
