Style360 Wrap Party with Taryn Manning


After a week of celeb-studded shows all week, Style360’s Fashion Week came to a close on Wednesday night with the Wrap Party at the Metropolitan Home Showtime House, co-hosted by Caravan and actors Taryn Manning and Tara Jane.

Attendees included stars like Project Runway’s Kevin Christiana, Jack Mackenroth, Real Housewives’ Bethenny Frankel, NYCTV host Kelly Choi and DJ Josh Madden. The party also showcased looks from the spring collection of Manning and Jane’s clothing line, Born Uniqorn.

Renowned interior designers like Jamie Drake, Laura Kirar, White Webb and Vincente Wolf recently transformed the $20-million Gramercy Park townhouse into a modern and luxurious home that features rooms inspired by six Showtime Network shows. VIP guests enjoyed drinks and hors d'oeuvres while touring the “Tudors” living room, “Californication” study, “The L Word” boudoir, “Weeds” lounge and “United States of Tara” master bedroom.

On the top floor, mannequins lined the futuristic Media Room designed by
Luca Andrisani. Manning and Jane, wearing their own Born Uniqorn designs, spent the evening discussing their favorite pieces. Jane pointed to the subtle snakeskin pattern on a long white ruffled dress with gold accents, and the 80s-inspired pyramid studs that line the pockets on a royal blue minidress.

“The more stuff hanging on the clothes, the better,” she said. “We love adding these details to our collections.”There were also jersey dresses with feather detailing on the straps, high-waist denim in dark washes, and loose cropped cardigans. “We’re so excited to be in New York right now,” said Manning. “This is one of our strongest collections to date.”
