Fashion Week runs on early call times, late nights and nonstop hustle, powered by the makeup artists, hair stylists, estheticians, nail artists, stylists and backstage crews who help others shine while often putting themselves last—so this season, Vital Proteins is putting them first with the Vital Diner, a limited-time collagen-powered pop-up at New York City’s iconic Empire Diner. Sitting at the intersection of beauty, wellness and nutrition, the complimentary sit-down experience features diner-inspired comfort food and drinks infused with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, from collagen-boosted coffee and matcha to glow-forward smoothies and elevated classics, all designed to help guests look, move and feel their best from the inside out while fueling long days and late nights backstage. Beyond the menu, the space offers moments to reset, including the Vital Photobooth, the Power-Up Powder Room for quick glam touch-ups, and a high-energy Fashion Week–inspired soundtrack. The public is welcome on a first-come, first-served basis, with expedited access for Fashion Week professionals.
