New year, new sponsor? Today, the\u00a0Whitney Museum of American Art<\/a>\u00a0announced the\u00a02019 Whitney Art Party\u00a0co-chairs and first-time sponsor\u00a0Forty Five Ten. The annual fundraising f\u00eate, which will take place on\u00a0Tuesday, January 29th, will be co-chaired by\u00a0Kristen Cole\u00a0of\u00a0Forty Five Ten,\u00a0Jack\u00a0McCollough\u00a0and\u00a0Lazaro\u00a0Hernandez\u00a0of\u00a0Proenza Schouler,\u00a0Michael\u00a0Carl, and\u00a0Micaela\u00a0Erlanger. The event is hosted by the Whitney Contemporaries and welcomes young patrons, emerging artists, and guests from the worlds of art, fashion, business, and entertainment for an evening of cocktails, dancing, and exhibition viewing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The evening is made possible in part by\u00a0Forty Five Ten<\/a>, which after some Googling, is a Dallas-born multi-brand boutique that “merges fashion and art, inciting the new, the unconventional, the eclectic, and the inspired. The brand presents a strong roster of 400+ experimental and luxury designers including Prada, Celine, Dries Van Noten, Balenciaga, Rosie Assoulin, Sies Marjan, and Proenza Schouler,” and we’re here for it.\u00a0Turns out in March 2019, Forty Five Ten will debut its first New York store in Manhattan\u2019s Hudson Yards, the brand\u2019s second largest store. In support of this year\u2019s Art Party, the Whitney and Forty Five Ten will present a special collaboration with artist Caitlin Keogh.<\/p>\n
