The Freedom Tower

The rich, the beautiful and the well dressed flocked downtown to Lower Manhattan to party at Ground Zero last week.
The party was at 7 World Trade Center. It was a dinner and fashion show for Operation Smile, a charity ball held on the 52nd floor. Among the guests were Donald Trump and model Naomi Campbell. The top floors of 7 World Trade Center has emerged as the new “seen-and-be-seen” venue for black tie galas, charity lunches and fashion shows, according to the New York Sun.
“The building’s chameleonlike spaces have been transformed into a Miami Beach-style nightclub with clusters of sleek, white couches and light installations for a Calvin Klein fashion show afterparty last fall, and into an urban garden filled with 5,000 red and pink roses for a Valentino fragrance launch in November,” the newspaper said. “Tonight, an ornate runway will wrap around the 50th floor, custom-built for the Christian Dior Resort Fashion Show.
“This is a blank canvas, and you can just cater it to whatever you want to do,” the events manager for 7 World Trade Center, Rebecca Shalomoff, said. “People say, all the time, ‘No one will ever be able to copy us.’”
The Sun says the biggest draw, of course, is the sweeping 360-degree views of New York City and its surroundings.
