The Who’s Who of bohemian chic community came out to support author, journalist and editor Julia Chaplin at The Ludlow Hotel for the release of her book “Gypset Living“.
Notable guests included Sabine Heller, Rachelle Hruska, Sean MacPhereson, Phil Winsor and Carolyn Murphy.
In her third book in the series for luxury publishing house Assouline, Julia explores explores the living spaces of gypsy-jet-setters around the world. Her travels take you from exotic locations like Hydra to Guéthary; from Cuixmala to Pa’ia; and beyond to the Indonesian isles.
Chaplin, who coined the term "gypset", provides a look into these spectacular personal utopias with her witty and humorous stories of the gypsetters that she meets along the way, such as Alix Goldsmith Marcaccini at her Mexican hideaway.
Wonderful photography opens the door to the fascinating and intriguing homes, haunts and hideaways of the bohemian artists, designers, and bons vivants known as “the gypset”.
Gypset fuses the ease and carefree lifestyle of a gypsy with the sophistication of the jet set, the Gypsetters are artists, surfers, designers, and bon vivants who live and work around the globe, from Jose Ignacio, Uruguay and Ibiza, Spain, to Montauk, New York. Gypset Style explores the unconventional, wanderlust lives of these high-low cultural nomads and the bohemian enclaves they inhabit, as well as their counterculture forbears, such as the Victorian explorers, the Lost Generation, the Beatniks, and the hippies.
The Ludlow Hotel was the perfect venue for the book signing celebration. The Hotel is owned by Sean MacPherson who has built his reputation on a slightly old-fashioned design aesthetic that emphasizes maker-details like casement windows, marble mosaic floors and turned-wood bed frames. (“Think Trustafarian meets Miss Havisham,” the hotel’s own press notes remark of the oak-paneled Ludlow lobby, with its “distressed limestone fireplace.”)
At 184 rooms, the Ludlow is almost 50 percent larger than the nearby Bowery Hotel, the breakout East Village success opened by Mr. MacPherson in 2007. The Ludlow joins a hospitality portfolio that includes the Waverly Inn, the Park restaurant in Chelsea, the Maritime, the Jane and Marlton hotels on the lower west side and the Crow’s Nest in Montauk. Together, Mr. MacPherson’s properties have defined Downtown cool for 14 years.
Thank you Julia Chaplin, Ludlow Hotel and Assouline Publishing for the cleverly cool, swank soiree.
The 80+ guests enjoyed chill-lax vibe, seductive ambiance and conclave of stylish gypset sophisticates.
