Beatrice Domond's Zahba Launch Event Photos

Vans brought the stars out to Brooklyn’s Space 198 to give a hearty launch for Beatrice Domond’s Zahba Mid. Not only was the guest of honor in attendance, but the event was also accompanied by the US premiere of Shari White’s Keepsake vid. It was a packed night in the park with extra stoke to go around.
