If Lita Asscher of Royal Asscher had to prove her party chops, the shindig she held on Tuesday, Sept. 3, certainly dispelled any possible doubts about her party prowess. With guest disc jockey DJ Mad Marj pumping out hip-hop tunes at venue No. 8, throngs of socialites (model Allie Rizzo and Broadway star Constantine Maroulis dropped by) sipped Siren Song concoctions of Malibu Red rum with pineapple juice and Curaçao, while dozens danced, snapped pictures of Estelle—the guest of honor that night—and mugged for photographers in front of the step and repeat.
The affair celebrated the debut of two new jewelry lines: Lita & Estelle by Royal Asscher and LusciousS by Kendra Bridelle for HSN (air date Monday, Sept. 16, 1–2 p.m. EST). And as with any swanky soirée in Manhattan, guests were majorly gussied up! Here’s a look at how some accessorized, and a peek at some of the new pieces on display.
