Other details: Last night Assouline Publishing hosted a book signing with Carlos Souza for his brand new book Carlos's Places at their outpost in the Plaza Hotel. Souza, currently a brand ambassador to Valentino, documented his favorite places is various cities accompanied by images from parties, lunches, and gallery visits. The book itself is technically called #Carlos's Places, as most of the images were directly from his popular Instagram. Prior to working with Valentino, Souza was also a model, an occasional photographer, and worked in editorial for various publications. Throughout that time he became known as one of the most charming men in the industry, and became a man-about-town that everyone wanted at their social gatherings. Consequently, a large crowd showed up at the small Assouline space to pay tribute to Souza. Brian Atwood, Carlos Mota, and Lauren Santo Domingo all stopped by to pick up a copy and greet the always jubilant Souza, who was at the event with his son. Even guests who had never met him were rapt by his presence, as he happily posed for pictures and wrote detailed notes in the book. Carlos's Places is available at the Assouline boutique or online.
