New York Fashion Week isn’t the only game in town.

GQ hosted an after-party for the NBA’s three-point and slam-dunk competitions Saturday night — part of the all-star game weekend — at Exchange Place in Lower Manhattan.

The party kicked off at 11 p.m. but didn’t get going until 12:30 a.m. with a performance by The Roots. As the band broke into a cover of “Express Yourself,” LeBron James retreated to a roped-off area near the bar, eschewing cameras and partygoers.

Comedian Amy Schumer made an appearance, greeting GQ editor in chief Jim Nelson with a hug and a lengthy chat, while Kevin Durant, clad in a black leather jacket and black brimmed hat, parted the throng.

Fans gathered around the basketball star, clamoring for a photo. Durant obliged for a few minutes before disappearing into the crowd.

Other noteables in attendance included New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, rapper Raekwon, and actors Kevin Hart and Chadwick Boseman.

“I’d been living in L.A. for the last year, and I felt like New York had such a need for a space where it can be just an oasis to take care of yourself,” said @cleanfooddirtycity of creating @clean.market, an upscale holistic wellness center in NYC. A market in the front of the shop sells a mix of clean beauty and skin products and apothecary-style items, while a cafe-style functional food and tonic bar is set up in the middle of the space, serving lattes and superfood smoothies.

“We don’t fight because we are just friends and respectful of each other’s projects. Max is even producing my solo album...I think what keeps us together is five o’clock white wine time,” said singer/songwriter @iamalexwinston of working with friend @alexmaax on their new EP “Crown.” Together they make up pop duo @postprecious, and their new EP is inspired by Hershenow’s devotion to the gay dance party scene.

Replete with 🔥 detail and a logo name tag, the Prada camp shirt began as a bold style statement on Pusha T at Governors Ball in early June. Now, it’s emerged as a favorite amongst street-style stars throughout the past month’s men’s collections, writes WWD Eye Editor @leighen. The flame-licked shirt also found a home on the one and only Jeff Goldblum, and seems to be the favorite for fashion gents this summer. And who can blame them? It works with track pants and Chanel sneakers, black trousers and bold glasses or worn open with a T-shirt and sneakers. But a winner may have been crowned. Per stylist Marc Goehring, himself a wearer of the look, #jeffgoldblumworeitbetter. #wwdeye #wwdmens
