With the sister’s help, Smith selected a bird of paradise photograph to expand and print onto a selection of billowy, silken pieces. “It was so serendipitous because we had launched this Spring collection, which featured prints and colors that really resonated with Madigans’ art.”
Fuller Marroquin, who wore the Pajama set with a pair of Prada cowboy boot-esque mules, explained it’s not the first time her mother’s work appeared on textiles. “She experimented a lot; she experimented on silks and linen; that was her thing. But it was never for clothing,” she explained. Per the ensembles worn by the two sisters, it’s safe to say they did their mother proud—plus, a portion of the collection’s sales will be donated to the Martha Madigan Foundation, providing funds for art education.
By 7 p.m., the party was at its height, as guests including Beanie Feldstein, Wes Gordon, Paul Arnhold, Indre Rockefeller, and Marina Larroude enjoyed bites of caviar from Celine Yousefzadeh’s CY Kitchen—the evening’s gorgeous aubergine Calla lilies were also by Yousefzadeh—and sips of lower-proof martinis courtesy of BODY Vodka.
Khodara closed her set with a performance of “Hallelujah” in tribute to her mother—a loving way to celebrate all the extraordinary women in our lives.
