This past Tuesday evening, Justsmile launched its eighth issue with an intimate crowd of industry friends, contributors, and community with aperitifs and Soho’s best pizza at Lucia Alimentari in Soho, NYC. Breaking in New York’s summer, guests enjoyed the sunshine in true New York style; at both the bar and the sidewalk. Limited-edition t-shirts to commemorate the evening were designed by Albert L. Hicks IV and made by TJ Burrows.
