Victor Victor Worldwide is bringing music and fashion together in a major way during New York Fashion Week. On September 9, Steven Victor and the New York-based creative collective hosted an exclusive dinner at Emilio’s Ballato.
The private gathering celebrated the latest Victor Victor Worldwide x Nike Air Force 1 collaboration. It also marked the launch of Victor’s Il Caos Parte 1, the first installment in a planned music quadrilogy. The project connects music, fashion, culture and Victor’s longtime appreciation for Italian motorsport.
Steven Victor brings culture together at NYFW
The dinner was hosted with Maurice K. from The People Gallery. It brought together artists, athletes, entertainment executives and other cultural figures for an intimate evening in one of New York City’s well-known Italian restaurants.
Guests included Jadakiss, Fabolous, Sarah Shahi and World Wide Wes. Voices featured throughout Il Caos Parte 1 also joined the celebration.
Moreover, Emilio’s Ballato was more than just the setting for the event. The restaurant is directly connected to the music project through the track “Emilio’s Ballato with Ade, Steven & Don Joseph.” The song appears on the four-track EP released August 6, 2026.
That connection gives the dinner an added layer of meaning. Instead of simply celebrating a new sneaker, the event brought the different parts of Victor Victor Worldwide’s creative world into one room.
Victor Victor Worldwide expands its Nike partnership
The NYFW gathering also comes just days before the latest Victor Victor Worldwide Nike Air Force 1 releases.
The company recently teased the collaboration on Instagram ahead of the September 12 launch. The campaign features Steven Victor driving a gas truck to a Victor Victor-branded gas station, continuing the visual world surrounding the new collection.
The latest rollout includes four Air Force 1 colorways in red, blue, purple and black. The collaboration further expands Victor Victor Worldwide’s growing presence at the intersection of streetwear, music and culture.
The relationship between Steven Victor and Nike also has history. A previous Victor Victor x Nike Air Force 1 collaboration was released in 2024, highlighting the label’s continued interest in footwear and fashion.
The Il Caos project adds another layer
Meanwhile, Il Caos Parte 1 introduces the larger musical vision behind the rollout.
The four-song project includes King Beamo, Lil Baby, Rylo Rodriguez and Lil Dann, with Don Joseph appearing on the track connected to Emilio’s Ballato. Streaming platforms list the EP as a 2026 Victor Victor Worldwide release.
The project is designed as the beginning of a larger four-part series. As a result, the Nike collaboration and NYFW dinner serve as part of a broader creative campaign rather than separate launches.
Victor Victor Worldwide has also continued expanding its creative universe through fashion releases and partnerships. The company, founded by Steven Victor in 2016, has built a reputation around connecting music with broader cultural movements.
For New York Fashion Week, the latest dinner showed exactly how that vision can come together. With music, sneakers, celebrity culture and one of New York’s iconic restaurants in the same space, Steven Victor is continuing to build Victor Victor Worldwide as more than a music company.
