It was a packed house at Chelsea hot spot No.8 where celebrity photographer Steve Eichner and his partner, German tech-start-up personality Daniela Kirsch celebrated the launch of their new venture, NameFace.com.
Looking to be a game-changer, NameFace is an online service for event photographers to name the people in their photos quickly and accurately with facial recognition.
Elbow to elbow we crowded the bar at the intimate venue with groovy tunes courtesy of DJ Mad Marj and Nappy G, for a star-studded party hosted by Alina Cho, Gillian Miniter, Bravo’s Odd Mom Out Jill Kargman, RHONY’s Kelly Bensimon, Anne Grauso, Alice + Olivia CEO Stacey Bendet, and Karen Duffy.
Midway through the event, writer/actress Jill Kargman, who bought her own glass of red wine at the beginning of the night and then chatted with Kelly Bensimon, introduced Steve, her former colleague at Style.com, and his partner Daniela.
Over 500 VIP guests included Nicole Miller, Adelina Wong Ettelson, Andy Hilfiger, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Peter Som, Bibhu Mohapatra, Emma Snowdon-Jones, Sarah Tay, and Chuck Garelick.
