DJ Harley Viera-Newton Spins at The Plaza for Charity Gala

At The Plaza Hotel in New York, DJ Harley Viera-Newton performed for The Society of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Gala Event.

The Very Fashionable DJ HVN

With a keen eye and love for fashion, Harley has collaborated with several brands on special projects and often served as an ambassador. This list includes Michael Kors, Calvin Klein, Topshop, Armani, Ralph Lauren, Sephora, Mulberry, and Target. In the fall of 2013, she worked with Diane von Furstenberg on a holiday capsule collection for DVF, creating a pair of headphones and a handbag inspired by her beloved cat Marmite. The collection launched in DVF stores and online on DVF, Shopbop, and Matches, and sold out almost immediately.

This season Harley has collaborated with the legendary New York accessories designer, Judith Leiber, on a three piece Swarovski crystal embellished handbag collection inspired by Ancient Egypt (a subject she studied at college). The collection launched for pre-order on Moda Operandi and will arrive at Bergdorf Goodman this spring.
