Styled then Savored: GMHC Savor Dinner 2013 and Men's Style Review

Do fashion and food go together? Some may think not, but they most certainly do. Especially when there is a great cause for all the rich sauces, tender meats, bacon-wrapped delicacies and bite-sized morsels. The fashion falls in line as a form of honor (and in the case of New Yorkers, a bit of flossing too). What's being honored is an organization that has kept not only food coming but also services, aid and pleasantly-aggressive support to those affected by HIV/AIDS. So how could one not don his best jacket, polish up his dandiest brogues and perfect that bow-tie knot to come out and say 'I've got your back' to a revered organization that has had the back of so many without judgment and without pause.

Last night in New York City, The Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) held their annual Savor Dinner at Cipriani's 42nd Street location. GMHC has this dinner every year to honor the unified way in which their more than 30 year old tenure has sought to feed and nourish those infected who aren't able to feed themselves and who were unjustly denied service in restaurants due to their sickness. So resting on the laurels of humanitarianism and a general unbiased support for all fellow men, GMHC Savor is honor and love at its culinary peak.

The beautiful award-winning Cynthia Nixon hosted New York's men (and women) coming out last night to honor the wonderful contributions of The Keith Haring Foundation and to see activist Joy A. Tomchin receive the Judith Peabody Humanitarian Award. In a scrumptious meal prepared by World Class celebrated chefs Alex Guarnaschelli, Justin Warner and Colleen Grapes, guests were invited to dine on decadent culinary delights in Cipriani's lavish dining room. However, before they ate, the sartorial menswear style-monger that I am visually feasted on the threads that the gentlemen guests donned to showcase how they polish up.

As with any crowd, especially in the Big Apple, you had your classic gents, your 'not so classic' gents and your maverick gents. They came out with character and taste to show love and continued support for GMHC's progress and initiatives not to mention for friends and loved ones lost, living and still living in their hearts. That alone made them all gentlemen from windsor to wingtip. Please check out all the photos and for more info on GMHC please visit their website here. Stay involved, stay informed, stay unconditional, stay stylish and stay blessed.
