Last night, Racked celebrated the 2014 class of Young Guns with an intimate dinner at The Lion, a restaurant in New York City's Greenwich Village. How intimate, exactly? Well, the only entry was through a secret doorway disguised as a wall, lending a certain speakeasy vibe to the proceedings.

Behind the secret door, our winners got to know members of the selection committee like Pamela Love, Wren designer Melissa Coker, Catbird founder Rony Vardi, jeweler Erica Weiner, Andrea Linett of I Want to Be Her and Of a Kind's Erica Cerulo and Claire Mazur.

Check out the photos below, and step right this way to read all about the 2014 class of Young Guns and why we think they're the industry's next stars.
