On Friday night, Interview friends, fam, and collaborators descended on Times Square to celebrate the mag’s Warhol-infused holiday tree collaboration with The New York EDITION and The Times Square EDITION, brought to life by set designer Ian Salter. Upstairs at 701WEST, guests sipped seasonal cocktails and took in the dazzling Times Square skyline while DJ Skype Williams got the dance floor moving with a mega blend of pop hits and Christmas anthems. There were no grinches in sight (just a couple of over-indulgent revelers), and though the presents under the Interview tree were just props, we left with the gift of Skype’s nice and naughty holiday playlist. Ho ho ho!
