Cero Celebrates Five Years with Ilia Malinin

Last Wednesday night, Cero Collective partnered with record-breaking figure skater and Olympic gold medalist Ilia Malinin, one of the cover subjects of Cero Magazine’s eleventh issue, for an exclusive cocktail reception and after-party overlooking Times Square at Paradise Club inside The Times Square EDITION. A selection of guests spanning the worlds of fashion, elite sport, media, and the arts gathered to celebrate five years of Cero Magazine and Ilia’s cover for the eleventh issue.

Kickstarting the evening with exquisite cocktails and flavorful canapés, guests including Abigail Cowen, Cole Doman, Calvin Royal III, Davóne Tines, and Alpha Dia snacked on a delicious array—avocado smash tostadas and seared tuna mini-tacos accompanied the ever-adored burger and macaroni and cheese. the curtains soon opened on a larger celebration soundtracked by DJs Mona Matsuoka and Caín Lima, with copies of the magazine aplenty. Attendees not only had the opportunity to study our latest issue, but also to take one home for continued reading and enjoyment.

Cero Magazine would like to thank Wojciech Christopher Nowak for styling Ilia and Cero’s editorial team, with support from Comme des Garçons, Gentle Monster, and Emcee Studios; hairstylist Dylan Silver; guestlisting partner Kalo; stylist’s assistant Annette Gaitan; and Charlie McAdams.
