Get Directions

The Hearst Fashion Hack will be held at the famous Hearst Tower in New York City

Hearst Tower is Hearst Corporation's global headquarters and the first New York City landmark of the 21st century. Using the original 1928 Hearst International Magazine Building as his pedestal, noted British architect Norman Foster has conceived an arresting 46-story glass-and-steel skyscraper that establishes a number of design and environmental milestones.

The Hearst Fashion Hack will take place in the Tower's soaring three-story atrium, which is filled with the sound of cascading water from Icefall, a three-story sculpted water feature, creating a sense of calm on a grand scale.
