This Saturday, September 25th is the LACMA Resnick Opening Gala Avant-Garde After Party — a great combination of art and fashion with previews of the following inaugural exhibitions:

Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700–1915 (which we mentioned earlier this summer)
Eye for the Sensual: Selections from the Resnick Collection
Olmec: Colossal Masterworks of Ancient Mexico

Andre Leon Talley shot some of the costumes from the European collection for the September issue of Vogue. Adding to the fun for the evening will be a performance by The Chapin Sisters.

Co-chairs include Jenni Kayne Ehrlich and Maggie Kayne. Host committee members include one of my favorite LA fashion/art couples, stylist Jessica de Ruiter and artist Jed Lind. Other host committee members include Sabina and David Nathanson, Hilary Tisch, Chloe Sevigny, Mary Kate Olsen, Band of Outsider’ Scott Sternberg, Cameron Silver of Decades, gallerist P.C Valmorbida, and models Guinevere van Seenus and Erin Wasson.

LA--Awards Season

There are a couple of months in this town where you hear non-stop talk of "awards season." Its basically like deb balls and parties every night. Stylists are on high-pressure to create some of the most critiqued looks of the year for their clients.

I was actually doing some work on a Sunday night so I was a wee bit late getting to one of my most favorite LA hotels, The Sunset Tower (love the Tower Bar and having brunch poolside on a Sunday), for the Audi pre-Golden Globes party last night hosted by Vampire-loving Anna Paquin and designer vintage king Cameron Silver. Events at the Sunset Tower are always so lovely as the space lends itself to just the right number of people. There were some very sculptural Gianfranco Ferre gowns on display which we admired while sipping Moet. Love Dita's hair up and dress to the floor. Its nice to see a lady in blue instead of black.
