Night Out Pop Up shop at the W Hotel in Beverly Hills

0

On Thursday night guests came out to the Living Room bar at the W Hotel in Beverly Hills for a night of shopping, makeup, and great music. DJ Dena Amy got the crowd pumped with some original house music that set the mood. Guests enjoyed drinks and appetizers from the Living Room Bar while listening to the smooth tunes.

Fashion brand Toit Volant, based in LA, attracted tons of customers with their minimalist style and great prices. The brand offered wholesale prices on their looks as a special deal for customers at the Pop Up. Some favorite pieces included the grey jumpsuit and a ruffled navy-blue shirt.

Next, customers could accessorize with jewelry by Hannah Frost. Hannah is a local designer born and raised in Los Angeles. Her studio is currently located in North Hollywood. As I looked at all the stylish and delicate crystals from Hannah’s lifestyle collection she told me about her love for crystals explaining that she had basically been making jewelry since she was 10. Today her brand has grown so that she is expanding into an engagement line and she’s set to show at Paris Fashion week in just a short time. She starts by sourcing her crystals from gem shows around the world. According to Hannah, her favorite one is in Arizona, it’s one of the biggest shows in the world. She brings back her findings and handmakes the jewelry in her studio. Guests had a great time checking out the different designs. One of the most popular was a rainbow crystal from Madagascar that shone brightly in the lights.

Finally, shoppers got their makeup touched up at the Chic studios booth. Chic studios is a makeup artistry school located in downtown LA where anyone can come to learn makeup. They offer classes on how to apply makeup for yourself or, for more serious students there are professional makeup artistry classes. They even have a makeup influencer course, where students can learn about lighting, camera techniques, and beauty tips to become successful beauty vloggers.

The night was a great turnout and many people came home with new fashions and trinkets plus good music and fun times to remember.

Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Presents MAISON RABIH KAYROUZ

0

January 25th, 2018, American Cathedral of Paris, Winter 18

A tangible and delicate osmosis is woven between a woman and her clothes. By day, she wears a simple poplin blouse and by night she unveils a precious relic underneath the tulle of her dress. In the street, she throws her coat back on her shoulders, providing a subtly exaggerated but laid-back allure. At home, she knots a men’s striped shirt over sweat pants. On her wanders, objects she discovers are manipulated by time and the wind, and turn to gold in the warmth of fluffy wool. Haute-couture now responds to ready to wear. Whether she wears a flannel jumpsuit or a brocade delight, the free spirit of the Rabih woman is revealed. This winter, a blue emanating from the depths of night and an orange burnt by the sun’s heat converge in perfect harmony on the body. Like a veil. Simply. The streets of Paris are tinted by the Orient. Beirut is enamoured by the West. The energetic, colorful patterns are united by the subtle force of khaki and ochre. And so, a dialogue is created. Between the construction of a jacket and the movement of a fabric. Between the feminine and the masculine. Between the new and the old. Through the alliance of demanding savoir-faire and absolute humanity, Maison Rabih Kayrouz proposes clothes for the women who love them. A manifesto which nurtures, twice a year, this intimate relationship between Rabih’s world and the woman.

Ashamed of his new appearance, the Beast conceals himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world, and an enchanted rose, which will bloom until he turns 21 years of age.  Time is running out. If the Beast can learn to love a woman and earn her love in return before the final petal falls off the rose, the curse will be broken and he will return to his original self as a Prince.  But, if not, he will remain a Beast forever, and all the members of his household will be doomed as well for all eternity.
