NYC Experiential Producers and Socialites Desmond Sam & Ramses Rubio Celebrate NYFW and Black History Month In Partnership with The Walker Hotel & Prima Pave
“Dine With Dez” is a curated dinner series and brand conceptualized by Desmond Sam, an experiential producer, publicist, and entrepreneur from NYC.
FEB 16, 2024 – After launching last year at Miami for Art Basel with Patron Tequila and Gitano Miami as their partners. This time, the immersive traveling dinner series set its sights on the Big Apple just in time for one of the city’s hottest events, New York Fashion Week.
For the third installment, he teamed up with co-producer-partnership and fellow creative Ramses Rubio, The Walker Hotel, and Prima Pave to bring together a group of influential tastemakers making strides as black creatives leading the conversation of fashion for a night of intimacy and libations.
“It was vital for me to carve out the time to cultivate space for black artists who’s amplification of their artistry has changed the scope of culture. Let It Be Black is about giving flowers when it’s due. This was For Us By US!”- Desmond Sam
The evening celebrated the best of NYFW and Black History Month with a bevy of glittering and influential black tastemakers of today’s culture in media, entertainment, and fashion, including Shaun Ross, Cleotrapa, Young Paris, Nimay Ndolo, and more.
“Through these events we seek to introduce influential tastemakers to relatable brands while curating a community for creative ideas to flourish”- Ramses Rubio
The night was a triumph, with drinks flowing and a private dinner that led to an afterparty at The Palace shortly after, with the group enjoying each other’s company on one of the most exciting nights of the year.
