Unlike the Rest of Gramercy Park Hotel, These Cocktail Dresses Are Not For Sale
Yesterday, we saw that it's possible for guests at the Gramercy Park Hotel to take home their favorite parts of the hotel when they check out. But there's something weird and creepy about taking home the cocktail dress of the waitress who just served you drinks at the bar.
Thankfully, that's not one of the options on the Amenities menu. But after you see the new dresses (worn by waitresses at Rose Bar or Gramercy Terrace), which were created by French-born designer Sophie Theallet, you might well be wishing for one of your own!
Designed out of stretch silk crepe, the garments have been made in two colors—"Gramercy red" and "midnight blue"—and are supposed to mimic the rich textures of the room interiors. Luckily, Theallet didn't get too literal and deck the waitresses out in velvet curtains and tassels in their hair.
The fashion-forward collaboration comes just about a month ahead of New York Fashion Week, which will dominate the NYC hotel scene just as it's done year after year. This year, the waitresses will get to show off the hotel's sexy new look.
GPH's owner, Aby Rosen, had this to say:
"We are thrilled to be working with Sophie. Fashion and art are two important aspects of our hotel, and we knew we wanted to partner with a designer who would create a fresh perspective and look for us."
Next up, a new art installation?
