Warehouse Sample Sale in Los Angeles: Dec. 18-20

Steven Alan – LA Sample Sale Nov. 12th-15th

The Member's Only-style jacket flap is a perennial.

The Member's Only-style jacket flap is a perennial.

It’s a known fact. Steven Alan’s papery soft shirts in plaid and polka-dot are the best shirts to steal from your boyfriend, husband, neighbor, or roommate. (The Village Voice simply made it official.) What makes 10-year old line exciting for me is Alan’s embrace of the concept of ugly-beautiful. The patterns and color compositions of his textiles are jaunty and unexpected and the tailoring is androgynous and no-nonsense.  Visually, they may read Brooklyn urbanite or Silver Lake drifter, but that doesn’t make them any less cute. www.stevenalan.com

Monique L’huillier Semi-Annual Bridal Sample Sale! July 19th

When I first learned of Monique, I pronounced “L’huillier” the French way, which did not go over well among the employees at the company. Whoops. They pronounce it “Le-hoo-li-eh,” which I still think is bizarre. The designs are fabulous though.

I also pronounced Ralph “Lauren” the French way when I was first working in the US. Then a stylist corrected me publicly in spine-tingling tones. Sorry dude, my first job in fashion was in France and that’s where I learned all the names of the designers.

Paper Magazine in Los Angeles

Lots of Paper Magazine events this week. It’s always fun to see how this magazine-blog-tour de force-cultural powerhouse views Los Angeles through their tinted New York glasses. (I bet if they had real glasses they would be round, like John Lennon’s.)

I’m always impressed by what they find…

If you can, go check some of these events out!

8873 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2008: PROJECT OPENING PARTY
PAPER kicks off the action in collaboration with the Andrew WK co-owned NYC hotspot, Santo’s Partyhouse. Featuring performances by artist/DJ Spencer Sweeny, Andrew WK and more, this party will be held in our very own West Hollywood storefront, setting the tone for the week.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2008: LEVI’S UNREAL REALITY AWARDS
PAPER and Levi’s host the UnReal Awards-a wild celebration and awards ceremony honoring those reality stars that have become an obsession for culture vultures everywhere. The UnReal Awards will be held at Cinespace in Hollywood.

STYLECHICA RECOMMENDS:

FRIDAY & SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7 – 8, 2008: 24 HOUR DEPARTMENT STORE
