A glimpse behind the velvet curtain
The atmosphere shifted dramatically after the show, as attendees eagerly documented the intimate gathering with their phones. Lobmeyr, the famed Viennese crystal house, played a starring role, with refreshments served in their exquisitely crafted stemware. The decision underscores the designers' unwavering commitment to refined detail – a hallmark of The Row's aesthetic.
Founded in Vienna in 1823, Lobmeyr has been a family affair for six generations, renowned for its mouth-blown muslin glasses. The Olsens specifically favored the Patrician series, designed by architect Josef Hoffman around 1917. This isn't just about pretty glasses; it's about a lineage of impeccable taste. Lobmeyr's pieces grace palaces, opera houses – including the Metropolitan Opera in New York City, illuminated by their Starburst chandeliers since 1966 – and other institutions of distinction.
While the collection itself remains under wraps until an official online release, the post-show revelry offers a tantalizing hint of the brand's world. It's a reminder that even in the hyper-documented age of social media, there’s still value in experiencing a moment firsthand.
