The \u201ccoldest magazine on Earth\u201d returned to New York Fashion Week with a celebration that lived up to its name. Renell Medrano, the photographer and director who has always insisted on the beauty of the everyday muse, convened her constellation of friends and collaborators at WSA in FiDi to f\u00eate the arrival of Ice Magazine Volume 2, published by IDEA Books.<\/p>\n

Since its debut last October, Ice Magazine has made a case for the \u201caround-the-way girl\u201d as not only a subject of art but its arbiter. Medrano\u2019s editorial eye\u2014born from her archive of Players magazines\u2014lingers on sensuality\u2019s softness without diluting its danger. If the first volume was a statement of intent, this second issue feels like an improvisation. <\/p>\n

With lines wrapping around the block, the packed party became a testament to Medrano\u2019s impact on New York\u2019s creative scene. Inside, guests sipped bespoke Hennessy cocktails\u2014playfully named the Henny-rita and X.pressO Martini\u2014while the DJ trio Las Flaquitas curated a soundtrack as electric as the crowd itself. <\/p>\n

The space came alive through presentation design by Something Special Studios and set design by Lauren Nikrooz, creating an immersive backdrop that matched the energy of the night. Pole dancers circled installations for night-long performances that wrapped around the venue interior. It was a magazine spread come to life, every detail primed for attention.<\/p>\n

WSA, still fresh on the cultural map, has become a natural container for nights like these\u2014where fashion, art, and nightlife collapse into one frame. The guest list reflected that synthesis: Kendall Jenner, JT, A$AP Ferg, Paloma Elsesser, Iris Law, Kendra Bailey, Justine Skye, Mona Tougaard, Bakar, Quil Lemons, Gabriel Moses, and more drifted through the crowd. It was less about celebrity and more about atmosphere\u2014the sense that downtown belongs to Medrano for the night.<\/p>\n
