Due to rain The Waterfront Venice has postponed the launch of party of Rinsed Magazine.

Hi There,
Writing to let you know that we need to postpone this Saturday’s Wet Gala until further notice. It’s supposed to rain on Saturday and since The Waterfront is partially open air, we felt like the Wet Gala might get a little to wet - made the joke so you don’t have to. We do not have a new date yet, but will reach out when it is set. We appreciate your patience and understanding and are eager to see you at Wet Gala in the near future!
Thanks!
