In this edition of ‘Last Night In NYC’, the city of New York was definitely on fire! Celebrating one of many of the brands accolades, Hennessy V.S held an exclusive event at Pier #54 for their Limited Edition bottle by Brazil’s own, Os Gemeos.



A TRADITION OF ARTISTRY

Introducing the Hennessy V.S Limited Edition bottle designed by Os Gemeos. Brazilian-born identical twins Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo (Os Gemeos translates as “The Twins”) emerged from the hip-hop and street art scene of 1980’s Sao Paulo to take their place among the world’s most respected and recognizable artists. Following in the footsteps of Futura and KAWS, our partnership with Os Gemeos is the latest Hennessy collaboration with signature artists, reflecting our centuries of commitment to creativity and artistry.



AN ENDURING VISION

For Os Gemeos, it was in keeping with their boundless vision to design a limited edition bottle for Hennessy V.S. “The label represented a new medium that could carry our message… It was a fluid process for us to go from one format, like the street, to another, like the bottle label.” In both process and finished artwork, the Hennessy + Os Gemeos partnership reflects deeply held, shared values: “Hennessy is not just a drink to us, it is history…We take a similar approach in our work—we draw what we believe in, and we aim to preserve those visions.”

As industry’s elite sipped on a few custom Henny cocktails, DJ Roger Dee kept the crowd moving with his impressive DJ skills.

 

Rodney Williams (Senior Vice President Business-Hennessy, Moet Hennessy USA) hit the stage to say a few words and to thank everyone for coming out, and supporting the event.  

 

Legendary VA MC Skillz keep the crowds attention doing what he does best! Dude is a beast! We admire his stage incredible presence. 

 

Rapper-Icon, Nas also took the stage giving one of the most EPIC performances that NY has seen in a long time.

 

Sharon Carpenter (Gossip Game/GlobalGrind) was there for the festivities!
