Washington, D.C., hotspot Josephine unveiled its new interior decor last night with the launch of Belvedere Red for a private "Friends and Family" preview event.

Local VIPs, such as Josephine Co-Owner Alain Kalantar, Redskin Edgar Jones, Mayor Vincent Gray's Son Carlos Gray, Celebrity Stylist Paul Wharton, Celebrity Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ayman Hakki, Moet-Hennessy USA's Michelle Desrosiers, Public Bar Co-Owner Tony Hudgins, One Lounge Co-Owner Seth McClelland, Capitol File Magazine Editor-In-Chief Kate Bennett and KStreetKate's Kate Michael made a toast to the lounge's new design. 

Co-Owners David Karim and Alain Kalantar closed the venue two months ago to revamp the interior with a chic new modern decor.

The renovation expanded the venues usable space, with the main bar illuminated in shades of lavender, shedding an ethereal glow throughout the venue. Miami-based Designer Mark Lehmkuhl is the creative mastermind behind the redesign, incorporating cutting edge technology and intelligent lighting which pulsates alongside diamond shaped mirrors throughout the lounge. 

Josephine co-launched with Belvedere Vodka's newest initiative, Belvedere Red. The RED partnership raises proceeds for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
