May 17 marked a major milestone for founder and CEO Ebonie Ward. The grand opening of 11th & Co.’s new headquarters, 550 RMG, in Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward brought out some of the city’s most influential figures in entertainment, media, and tech for a celebration of a new creative hub for black entrepreneurs.
Prior to one of the biggest nights of the year, the ECOLUXE pre-Oscars Luxury Lounge, presented by Debbie Durkin, brings a valuable experience to guests, partnering brands and non-profit organizations.
We got the chance to get “festival ready” at the Outside Lands kick off party which was held August 4th. The event took place at Bloomingdales at Westfield mall in San Francisco. The fun afternoon featured a live performance, a fashion presentation by Bloomingdale’s personal shopper, light bites, and specialty cocktails. The event was hosted by Value Culture, A 501c3 NGO focused on building the future by valuing cultures.
Upon arrival we headed to the check in table and felt like we had been transported to a whole other world. Attendees were wearing festival attire while sipping on specialty cocktails presented by Bacardi. Music filled the whole floor as local singer Sam Johnson played guitar and guests swayed along. The event also featured quick bites prepared by Honey Brie Boards in the form of charcuterie board bowls filled with decadent cheese and crackers paired with a variety of dried fruit and nuts. We also got to chat with Bloomingdale’s Personal Shopper, Amanda Adams who gave us a fashion presentation on all the best festival pieces Bloomingdale’s had to offer.
Value culture, created by founder Adam Swig, believe that culture heals, builds, and brings people together.
