A glittering evening of film, fashion, and media elegance marked DuJour’s milestone in Manhattan.
When DuJour Media’s Jason Binn hosted the magazine’s 13th anniversary celebration, the event became an intersection of Hollywood brilliance and New York sophistication. The evening honored Academy Award-winning actor Rami Malek, recognized for his acclaimed work and upcoming role in Nuremberg, and unfolded at the famed Drai’s Supper Club on West 14th Street, a venue known for its intimate luxury and downtown allure. The night gathered a distinguished list of guests, blending the world of film, style, and society into a single radiant occasion.
At the heart of the celebration were Paul Anthony and Joan Macri, whose presence illuminated the event with poise and charisma. They arrived to warm greetings from the DuJour circle, reflecting the enduring spirit of collaboration that defines the magazine’s creative community. Their roles as leading figures of the evening emphasized DuJour’s continued commitment to showcasing artistry, refinement, and the evolving voices that shape contemporary culture.
The evening opened in true DuJour fashion, with a gracious welcome from Jason Binn, whose vision for the brand has guided it through more than a decade of influence in lifestyle publishing. Under his leadership, DuJour has become synonymous with sophistication, offering readers and followers a curated perspective on celebrity, design, and innovation.
