Ludovic de Saint Sernin, the highly acclaimed designer, was recently celebrated in New York City following the success of his fashion show in Paris. The event, hosted by Document Journal, marked a significant milestone for the magazine as it held its first Pride event, bringing together a group of creative visionaries for an unforgettable night. The evening kicked off with an exclusive dinner at the Times Square Edition, where guests were treated to cocktails in the venue’s beautiful indoor garden Terrace restaurant.
During the event, de Saint Sernin took the stage to express his deep admiration for New York City and the immense inspiration it provides for his unique designs. He also revealed that the city holds a special place in his heart as it is one of his biggest markets, contributing greatly to his creative process.

Vogelson commended de Saint Sernin for pushing boundaries and transcending traditional concepts of gender and identity. He also praised Feeld for creating an inclusive environment that he believed was long overdue.
The post-Pride event organized by Document Journal was just one of the many fashion-filled extravaganzas taking place in New York City that weekend, as numerous brands hosted their own events. Designer Jason Wu, also present at the celebration, expressed his gratitude for the honoring of Ludovic de Saint Sernin but revealed his plans to travel to Boston and Cape Cod for further inspiration.
