Party Photos: The Design Party in New
York City
At Adultworld, 04.09.03
They had to wind down stairs, around corners, back up, and through
some blazing lights, but throngs of New York's coolest designers made their
way into Adultworld last week for mediabistro.com's rocking Design Party. The
really lucky ones went home with complimentary magazines from the party's sponsors,
Print and ID.
