It’s been nearly 10 years since Nyle DiMarco made history by becoming the first Deaf contestant to ever win two major competition reality shows back to back.

Since then, he’s published a New York Times best-selling memoir and attached his name to a variety of film projects as an executive producer, including Audible, a Netflix documentary that earned an Oscar nomination.

Swanning in a feather headdress and a swath of tulle, Susanne Bartsch held court at the June book party for Bartschland: Tales of New York City Nightlife, a pictorial memoir of her life and career that also serves as a who’s who of the town’s glitterati.

The crowd soon migrated next door to the business of partying at Le Bain, where Bartsch hosts her popular Tuesday night event, On Top. Keep Reading →
