Martha Hunt And Nolan Funk Launch Special Belvedere Vodka At NYFW

Daniela's Lens stops by the Whitney Museum where model Martha Hunt helps launch a special edition of Belvedere Vodka for NYFW Fall '18.

Belvedere Vodka invited guests to the Whitney Museum last night to launch a special bottle edition designed by Brooklyn-based Nigerian-born performance and visual artist Laolu Senbanjo. He is best known for his body-painting featured in Beyoncé’s Grammy Award-winning visual album, “Lemonade.”
