M Social Hotel New York Downtown Hosts Runway 7 Fashion Showcase During NYFW

M Social Hotel New York Downtown brought its approach to experience-driven hospitality to New York Fashion Week, hosting a fashion showcase on September 9 in partnership with Runway 7. Held in the heart of the Financial District, the event brought together fashion lovers, media, creators, travelers, and members of the local community for an evening celebrating international design and creative expression.

The showcase featured the work of Venezuelan haute couture designer Alejandro de los Reyes, known for dramatic silhouettes, intricate embellishments, crystals, and handcrafted finishes that celebrate femininity and sophisticated design. Based in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, de los Reyes has developed a distinctive couture aesthetic through designs created for prominent figures associated with national and international beauty pageants.

"M Social was created around the idea that a hotel should be more than a place to stay — it should connect guests to the culture and creative energy of the destination around them," said Carolyn Wishnowski, Vice President, Global Branding, Marketing & Loyalty, Millennium Hotels & Resorts. "Welcoming Runway 7 and Alejandro de los Reyes during New York Fashion Week is a great example of that vision in action."

The event was presented in partnership with Runway 7, an international fashion platform now in its 11th season, featuring established designers and emerging talent from around the world. "Season 11 reflects how far the platform has evolved and the kind of global creative community we continue to build," said Diane Vara, Director of Public Relations & Marketing at Runway 7.

"Lower Manhattan continues to evolve as a destination for culture, fashion, dining, and entertainment, and we want M Social Downtown to be part of that momentum," said Alex Spektor, Managing Director at M Social Hotel New York Downtown. Located across from the Oculus and overlooking One World Trade Center, the hotel pairs design-led spaces with a prime Financial District setting. At street level, Beast & Butterflies, the hotel's Spanish-inspired gin and tapas bar, offers a lively setting for dining and socializing.
