Set in the heart of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, The Mark Hotel provided the perfect setting for an intimate press day with Melissa Odabash. A destination synonymous with modern luxury, renowned for its impeccable design and just moments from Central Park and Madison Avenue’s world-class shopping, it is also Melissa’s favourite place to stay in the city!

Within the refined surroundings of The Mark, Melissa shared the story behind her brand, her inspirations, and the continued evolution of her collections in a series of press appointments with leading magazines and journalists including Vogue, The Wall Street Journal, Hypebeast and The Zoe Report.

 

 

A defining moment of the visit came with meeting Martha Stewart. A long-time icon of Melissa's and inspiration of lifestyle and entrepreneurship. The meeting marked a full-circle moment, bringing together two women whose careers have been shaped by vision, independence, and an unwavering commitment to their craft.

 

 

Beyond its role as a luxury hotel, The Mark has become a central figure in New York’s cultural landscape - often described as the “unofficial red carpet” of the Met Gala, where some of the world’s most recognisable figures begin their evening.

For Melissa, The Mark is more than a place to stay - it is part of her New York story. A space that feels both familiar and inspiring, where each visit blends work, creativity, and the rhythm of the city. From early morning walks in Central Park to evenings spent immersed in the energy of Manhattan, it captures everything she loves about New York.
