Malibu Fashion Weekend

Mikey Koffman and her crew at Endless Road Entertainment throw the best events, and each one always seems better than the last.

Malibu Fashion Weekend

Fashion Week hasn’t been the same without Mikey Koffman, so I was very excited when I received an invitation from Endless Road Entertainment to attend Malibu Fashion Weekend.

L.A. Fashion Weekend Closing Party

Endless Road Entertainment hosted a closing party for L.A. Fashion Weekend at Planet Salon in West Hollywood. The swanky affair—which celebrated Fashion, Art, and Music—called for cocktail attire and guests were dressed to impress.

Including my favorite fashionable duo – Alan McCune and Enrique Godoy Ynzenga. Alan informed me that the second book in the Annabella and the Secret of the Mirrors book will be out soon. The Skinny Executives also have something exciting in the works, which I’ll be able to share with you all in a few weeks.

Planet Salon owners Ginger Boyle and Dean Roybal have been longtime supporters of Mikey Koffman and her LAFW events, so it was only fitting that the closing ceremonies be held in their luxurious salon.

2nd Annual L.A. Fashion Awards

Mikey Koffman and her new company Endless Road Entertainment Inc, hosted the 2^nd Annual L.A. Fashion Awards at Sunset Gower Studios this past weekend. Fashionistas, stylists, celebrities, and couturiers used the opportunity as an excuse to dress to impress (as one should at a fashion event).

It was a beautiful night in Hollywood and the former restaurant turned event space was the perfect location to mingle under the stars. 

LAFW SS14: One Haute Night

The theme for LA Fashion Weekend’s SS14 finale was One Haute Night, and everyone was decked out in their finest. The great thing about fashion shows is that they give you a reason to dress as fancy or as adventurous as you want.

Mikey Koffman went the adventurous route and rocked a killer new hair style.

LAFW SS14: Project LA

I always look forward to the Saturday Show of LA Fashion Weekend because I know I’m going to see my dear friend, Actress Kate Linder (The Young and the Restless). Kate looked amazing in cream colored lace dress by Nathanaelle Couture.  She happened to arrive the same time as designer Nathanaelle Hottois along with another lovely lady who was wearing a red lace creation by Nathanaelle.

LAFW SSI4: Fashion Splash

For some reason L.A. Fashion Week this season was a bit hectic, so it was nice to go someplace that felt like home – Sunset Gower Studios for L.A. Fashion Weekend. Upon arrival I was greeted by my favorite security guard at the gate and then by my other favorite security guard when I arrived at the tent.  L.A. Fashion Weekend celebrated its 10^th season at Sunset Gower this weekend and it was my 9^th in attendance.

Fashion Splash 2013

Mikey Koffman and The Gallery L.A. hosted the 2^nd Annual Fashion Splash at the swanky Drai’s nightclub located in the W Hotel Hollywood. Last year’s event was so much fun, so I was excited to see what this year’s would bring.

LA Fashion Weekend 1st Annual Fashion Awards

Due to the numerous competing fashion week events The Gallery LA founder Mikey Koffman decided to change things up for the LA Fashion Weekend Fall/Winter presentations. Instead of three days of runway shows Mikey opted for one fashion showcase and the launch of the first ever LA Fashion Awards show. If you think about it, Los Angeles is home to the Grammys and the Oscars, so why not a Fashion Awards show? Mikey helped start the original LA Fashion Week over 10 years ago, so it makes sense that she would be the one to make a Fashion Awards ceremony happen.

LA Fashion Weekend FW13 Presentations

The Fall/Winter LA Fashion Week events always occur during my birthday week. This year I was incredibly happy to have the opportunity to spend my actual birthday at my overall favorite event - LA Fashion Weekend. There is always such a great energy and vibe at The Gallery LA shows and even though no one knew it was my birthday I could still feel the love – from my two favorite security guards, to the staff, to all my LA Fashion Weekend friends that I re-connect with each season and, of course, from Ms. Mikey Koffman herself.

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.

LA Fashion Weekend: Women’s Contemporary and Couture Show

Even though I’m always exhausted by the end of Fashion Week I look forward to the final night because I know the party will be going on at Sunset Gower, and Mikey Koffman always saves the best for last. Thankfully, the rain had stopped so we could all enjoy the outdoor lounge area, which was packed.

LA Fashion Weekend SS2013 Emerging Designer Showcase

I always enjoy going to Sunset Gower Studios. The security guards at the gate are very friendly and they remember me. Tonight was extra special because the lovely Ms. January was kind enough to give me a lift to the back of the lot on the golf cart. Trust me, it’s a long walk.  

L.A. Fashion Weekend SS 2013 Swimwear

By far my favorite L.A. Fashion Week event is L.A. Fashion Weekend, which is put on by The Gallery LA and held at Sunset Gower Studios. It’s always a great party, with great shows, and lots of familiar faces. Plus, Mikey Koffman has been doing this for years so she always manages to put together an event that is professional and well organized. 

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.  

Hollywood Glamour at LA Fashion Weekend

The three day fashion extravaganza known as LA Fashion Weekend came to a close with a special dedication to Hollywood and the glamour of TV. The red carpet was hopping with designers and celebrities - Janice Dickinson, Alexis Bellino, and Lizzie Parker to name a few. The VIP lounge was packed with a number of well-dressed individuals who were eager to check out the upcoming fall trends from Alexis, Lizzie Parker, and Romeo and Juliet Couture.

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.

The Gallery LA Presents LAFW Fall/Winter 2012

The Gallery LA held an open house to discuss the upcoming events for the Fall/Winter 2012 LA Fashion Weekend shows to be held at Sunset Gower Studios March 16^th – 18^th. Coverage of the star-studded event will also be broadcasted live by KTLA 5.
