Miss Claire Sullivan celebrated five years of her New York-based couture atelier with an intimate cocktail at Dover Street Market New York during New York Fashion Week.

The evening brought together a cross-section of the city’s fashion and creative community, with a surprise performance by Zsela providing one of the night’s highlights. Guests including Eva Chen, Jonathan Saunders, Dara Allen, Julie Gilhart, Sally Singer, Chloe Wise, Bobbi Menuez and Osman Ahmed gathered to celebrate Sullivan’s distinctly playful approach to couture while browsing new exclusive styles in store. The evening also marked a collaboration with Starface, with guests leaving with branded Miss Claire Sullivan x Starface boxes containing the newest Hydro Star Compacts, including the Chrome edition, set to launch in December 2026, and the Black edition, arriving in 2027. Even Ellie the Elephant of the New York Liberty made an appearance, adding another unexpected character to an evening built around fashion, fantasy and play.

Founded in New York, Miss Claire Sullivan has developed a distinctive world around custom ONE OF ONE garments, where craftsmanship and storytelling meet an unapologetically imaginative vision of dressing. The atelier challenges conventional ideas of luxury and invites its clients to approach clothing as something more personal and transformative. Billowing skirts, elaborate silhouettes, and theatrical details become a form of self-expression, encouraging the wearer to shed expectations and embrace the fantasy of becoming their own main character. What began with Sullivan creating pieces for herself to wear around New York soon attracted stylists, artists, and cultural figures seeking the same sense of individuality. Five years on, Miss Claire Sullivan continues to treat the one-of-one garment as something more than an object of luxury: a deeply personal act of craftsmanship, storytelling, and love.
