June marks Pride month—and fittingly, parties have been popping off in recent days to celebrate representation and inclusivity amongst the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. Here’s Vogue’s look at the most colorful events of the season…

Everybody World Fundraises for New Alternatives With a Cocktail Party and Shirt Design by Artist Carol Bove

Fashion brand Everybody World kicked off Pride Month with a packed-to-the-brim fundraiser for New Alternatives for LGBTQ+ Homeless Youth. To help support their emergency fundraising initiative, the brand is launching a series of limited-edition artist t-shirts to help offer healthcare and social services for the community. The inaugural shirt design features artwork by acclaimed multi-media artist Carol Bove, which was on display and for sale at the event.

“As human beings we protect and nurture children. This is not a political position; this is a moral imperative based on love and reason,” Bove said of the artwork. “The front of the shirt pictures a scene of children being sacrificed to Moloch from Giovanni Pastrone's 1914 epic film, Cabiria. I chose an image removed from our time to free it from contemporary political associations. Ideologues have polarized us for the purpose of consolidating power, enflaming hatred and causing widespread stupefaction to achieve their ends. This dynamic is not new, and at the same time, it is not eternal. It doesn't have to be like this.”

Everybody World owner Carolina Crespo and brand director Ari Katz led the charge to bring out the fashion community to support. Natural wine and cocktails kept the spirits light, Jonah Almost and Ryan Petersen kept up the vibes with DJ sets, and friends old and new mixed amongst the space to show their support.

Fiametta and Unemployed Celebrate Pride With Dinner, a Surprise Vow Renewal, and an After-Party

Jewelry brand Fiametta and creative agency Unemployed came together on June 3 to host a celebratory night for the queer community. Hosted at The Flower Shop on the Lower East Side, the bash began with a more intimate dinner, where guests sipped on spicy margaritas by Yola Mezcal and were adorned with jewels placed on them by Fiametta founder Merill Hollander. A few attendees, like writer Adam Eli and artist Ella Emhoff, were Pride-party-hopping, and joined after attending the New Alternatives fundraiser earlier in the evening.

A big surprise came when famed astrologer Chani Nicholas emerged with past Vogue brides Teresa Dilger and Yesim Ak all dressed in white. The New York-based couple are expecting a baby, and decided Pride Month was the perfect time to renew their vows with Nicholas officiating. “I believe in celebrating queer love in public,” Nicholas told Vogue. “I believe that building spaces and creating moments that center our bonds and that declare our family values is revolutionary. New York City has always been home to so many of our greatest activists and artists and intellectuals that risked everything to fight for the freedoms we have today, the very least that we can do is take advantage of them.”

After dinner, more guests joined for an after-party complete with music spun by Silvia Prada, pool, and the Knicks playoff game playing in the background.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani Attended the Reclaim the Flag Screening and Panel at the Brooklyn Museum

A film screening kicked off a movement at the Brooklyn Museum. On June 8, Human Rights Campaign partnered with filmmaker and designer Alexis Bittar and producer Bruce Cohen for a preview of their short documentary film Reclaim The Flag. The night at the museum was attended by activists as well as members of the arts and fashion communities, like actress Naomi Watts and Mickey Boardman. This film coincided with the national initiative encouraging people in the United States to reclaim and demand the values of freedom, inclusion, equity, belonging and democracy that the American flag should represent.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani kicked off the night with remarks to the packed house, sharing, “Tonight is an invitation for us to chart a new course together, one where patriotism belongs to all Americans—especially those who demand we live up to the ideals we set for ourselves.” The evening also featured a panel discussion led by HRC president Kelley Robinson with author Andrew Solomon, content creator Matt Bernstein, writer Harper Steele, choreographer and director Bill T. Jones, NYC Council Member Chi Ossé, journalist Kevin Ortega-Rosas, and the film’s producer and director.
