LA Fashion Weekend FW13 Kickoff Party

Celebrating its ninth consecutive season The Gallery LA held its traditional LA Fashion Weekend kickoff party at Sunset Gower Studios. Not only was Mikey Koffman celebrating the start of another fashion season, she was also celebrating The Gallery LA’s success as a major player in L.A. Fashion Week. In fact, The L.A. Fashion Weekend showcase, which started in a 5,000 square space, now takes place in a 15,000 square foot sound stage.  

There were a number of reasons to celebrate tonight but the arrival of Richie Ramone made the party that much more spectacular. You know you’re cool when Richie Ramone shows up to your party. For those that don’t know, Richie was the drummer for the iconic punk band the Ramones. He was also the only drummer for the band who solely composed, wrote, and sang on select songs.

LAFW SS2013 Wrap Party

The delightful Mikey Koffman and her wonderful crew at The Gallery LA were kind enough to host a wrap party as a “Thank you” to all the sponsors, designers, and fashionable guests who attended LA Fashion Weekend’s SS2013 showcase.

The event was held in the patio area at the Xen Lounge in Studio City. Between the tarp and the killer tunes you wouldn’t have known it was raining outside. The lovely make-up artists from Napoleon Perdis were on site to apply touch-ups for anyone that wanted to enhance their look for the evening. I was happy to see that one of the gals was also a part of the Beats For Boobs make-up team. We discussed how a make-up artist is an artist. Your face is their canvas, and they can transform you into something beautiful or hideous - in the case of special effects make-up, which my sister, Rose Lopez, specializes in.

Fourth Annual Fashion’s Night Out

It’s been four years and Fashion’s Night Out is still going strong with retailers all over the world participating in the annual event. However, Rodeo Drive didn’t go all out this time. A few stores partook (Guess being one) and the food trucks moved on over to Melrose. However, Neiman Marcus (Beverly Hills) was hopping.

Fashion Splash 2012

The Gallery LA and Wella Professionals hosted a fashion show/pool party at The Standard Hotel in West Hollywood. Upon arrival guests were greeted with complimentary drinks courtesy of Little Black Dress Vodka and received a littler pampering from Wella and Napoleon Perdis.  

LA Fashion Weekend Wrap Party

A few nights ago I attended LA Fashion Weekend’s Wrap Party held at Rubix Hollywood. Yes, I know it’s been a few months since the FW12 shows but Mikey Koffman is a busy gal and she and her crew at The Gallery LA have a lot going on. And, to be honest, it’s never too late to show your appreciation.

LA Fashion Weekend: Fall Winter 2012

My favorite part of LA Fashion Week is LA Fashion Weekend. Mikey Koffman has been producing fashion shows for years and everything she does is always on a grand scale. Held at Sunset Gower Studios, L.A. Fashion Weekend serves as a major launching pad for local, national, and international designers and also presents a unique branding opportunity for the most elite products and services.
