A Night on the Town with Rouge Magazine

On the eve of dreaded finals week, staff members, models, and friends gathered at downtown Athens' Wall & Broad to celebrate the release of Rouge's latest issue. Framed by tall windows, guests mingled in their floral spring attire and flipped through copies of the print magazine.

The Spring/Summer 2024 issue, "After Hours," explores not what occurs during the workday hours of 9:00 to 5:00 but what people get up to between 5:00 and 9:00. The three photoshoot sections traverse an imagined night on the town, from closing up the office to an extravagant dinner to a cocktail hour—an Athens favorite.

Guests took home goodies, including Rouge matchbooks and bundles of flowers compiled at the make-your-own bouquet station. Hor d'oeuvres and drinks adorned the tables, along with a pink heart-shaped Rouge cake!

Here are a few snapshots from the festivities:
