H&S Communications was honored to support Kilian Paris at The Cut’s exclusive NYFW event on February 7 at the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn, where the brand transformed the evening with a captivating pop-up fragrance bar, embodying its signature luxury and artistry. Designed to elevate brand awareness and engagement, the experience immersed VIP guests in a world of Kilian Paris scents, with a spotlight on Angels’ Share and the debut of Angels’ Share Paradis. Instead of a traditional sales-driven approach, the focus was on sensory storytelling—inviting attendees to discover the fragrances through an ambiance of elegance and indulgence. Notable guests, including Keke Palmer, Jordyn Woods, Rickey Thompson, RHONY’s Ubah Hassan & Jessel Taank, and RHOSLC’s Meredith Marks, enjoyed custom cocktails inspired by Angels’ Share and Love Don’t Be Shy, deepening the connection between scent and experience. As a final touch, each guest received a bottle of Angels’ Share, ensuring that the essence of Kilian Paris stayed with them long after the evening ended.

A Day of Reflection: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Legacy Meets a Presidential Inauguration On rare occasions, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Inauguration Day coincide – today marks one of them. This juxtaposition of two contrasting visions for America presents a profound and multifaceted symbolism that reflects both historical context and contemporary societal dynamics. Although the overlap has sparked discussions about the nation's direction -- we view this as a call to action to uphold Dr. King's ideals, life, and words to continue to serve as a guidepost for navigating complex societal challenges. In a divided America, let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy urge the nation to confront its divisions with courage, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to justice. His dream serves as both a reminder of the great accomplishments made, the work that lies ahead, and an inspiration for building a better, more inclusive tomorrow. #DrKing #MLK #MLKBirthday #IHaveADream #KeepTheDreamAlive #FreedomFighter #Freedom #Equality #Justice #JusticeForAll #Inuguration #HappyBirthdayDay #CivilRights #HumanRights

So proud to be in this list of established and new agencies. Brilliant work is being done in our space. I’m excited, despite the rumors of our industries demise to create a great agency culture and then get out of the way and see the fab results. Sure it isn’t easy. But after 30 years of working in this industry I’m still inspired and motivated. (On most days 😉). Thank you Lisa Smith for creating a place for us to come together to learn and celebrate the work and each other. #PRNet100
