Wednesday, February 4, 2026 | 6:30–10:00 PM


Come for America’s Next Top Model icon Nigel Barker. Stay for the cocktails, performances, fashion, and the kind of networking that actually feels like a night out.


This is luxury without the gatekeeping — a high-energy, fashion-forward social where small business owners, creatives, and pop-culture fans all belong.


Not Your Typical Networking Event

Forget awkward name tags and stiff conversations. Babes & Bros: The Denim & Diamond Social is a business-meets-culture experience designed to feel fun, elevated, and unforgettable.

  • Spaghetti-Western glam meets denim & diamonds

  • Live aerialists, dancers, and immersive design

  • Fashion, business, and pop culture in one room

  • A crowd that’s dressed up, relaxed, and ready to connect

You don’t need to be “luxury” to attend — you just need to want a great night out with great people.
