“We Need to Talk About Pomellato!” — Tilda Swinton hosts Italian Jeweler Pomellato Grand Opening on Rodeo Drive benefiting MOCA

by: Our Little Truffle Hunters - February 1st, 2012   Filed under: Beverly Hills, FASHION
FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Pomellato struck publicity gold when they joined forces with We Need to Talk About Kevin star, Tilda Swinton. The cutting edge fashion icon has been making the rounds on the awards season party circuit, and also all the talk shows … andddd countless premieres and screenings for her film — and she’s been spotted topped off with Pomellato jewels every step of the way! A grand move also to those in the fashion universe who have come to see Tilda as a fashion leader. Though not nominated for an Oscar, up until the January 24th Oscar nominations announcement, she was a serious contender and still she has had enough face time in the press to make her a household name. Her recent walk on the SAG red carpets for Sunday’s show at the Shrine, where she wore a white Lanvin dress with a Pomellato ‘Tango’ brown topaz ring, came back to back with Monday night’s Pomellato grand opening on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

The store has been open for several months, complete with pocket doors and all, but the grand opening was held off until yesterday. MOCA also teamed with Pomellato to bring in some of their friends, collectors and members of the MOCA Contemporaries to see and celebrate the jewels.

Here’s who we saw: Pomellato brand ambassador and actress Tilda Swinton (whore Lanvin again topped with Pomellato jewels) with her boyfriend and artist Sandro Kopp, Pomellato CEO Andrea Morante, Pomellato president Guglielmo Melegari, actor Billy Zane (Zoolander, Titantic), artist Ed Moses with Lauren King, Loree Rodkin, Carol Cheng-Meyer from Bel-Air Capital, Christine and Gabe Chiu, Malibu-based collectors Cindy & Tony Canzoneri along with their darling dog ”Romeo”, Wallis Annenberg, Maria Bell, MOCA director Jeffrey Detich and several MOCA donors and members of MOCA Contemporaries, photog Jeff Burton, interior designer Oliver M. Furth, collector Eugene Sadovoy, CAA agent Thao Nguyen, art adviser and collector Karyn Lovegrove, 60s fashion icon Peggy Moffitt, artist Rosson Crow with a fabulous black rose headpiece, Abby Bangser of the LACMA Avant-Garde, Marilyn Heston whose PR firm MHA Media represents Pomellato and organzied the event, Click to Continue Reading

Rooney Mara Golden Globes dress 2012 & a tally of hers awards season looks

by: Our Little Truffle Hunters - January 15th, 2012   Filed under: Awards Season, FASHION
FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci pre-fall 2012 at the Golden Globes on January 15, 2012

Alright so we’ve been seriously annoyed because our Truffle Hunters were really out to lunch on who has been styling Rooney Mara but we can now thank The Hollywood Reporter for breaking this very important news — according to a late breaking article last night — the stylist’s name is Ryan Hastings (who also does Mia Wasakowska, FYI) and PS — he does not do interviews. #amazing

The Mara’s are having a REALLY good year with lots of wins for Rooney’s granddad, uncle and all her other relatives who own football teams …

#TruffleNotes: Her paternal grandfather, Wellington Mara, was the long-time co-owner of the Giants, succeeded by her uncle, John Mara. Her maternal grandfather, Tim Rooney, has run Yonkers Raceway in Yonkers, New York since 1972.[8] Mara is the great-granddaughter of both Pittsburgh Steelers founder Art Rooney, Sr. and New York Giants founder Tim Mara.[9] Her great-uncle, Dan Rooney, is chairman of the Steelers, the United States Ambassador to Ireland, and the co-founder of The Ireland Funds charitable organization. — via Wikipedia

And she is basically set for life in every way imaginable with the Lisbeth Salander thing and all. We liken her to several other Hollywood starlets and soon-to-be-starlets with vast family ties and to rival their talent (next on our watch list is Léa Seydoux, the pretty little actress from Midnight in Paris (she plays the sales girl on the Quai) and Mission Impossible and upcoming Haywire — and oh yeh, she was also in Inglourious Basterds, and is the face of Prada’s new fragrance and their 2012 Resort line, and … wait for it … her grandfather is the chairman of Pathe which owns everything in France having to do with Cable, satellite and cinema).

We first met the Roon at the L.A. premiere of Tanner Hall (Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg’s movie) in Los Feliz and thought it was interesting she was about to become the biggest thing on the planet — more so that her sister Kate we took notice of several years before … And of course we noticed she looked really good in clothes. So, we’ve been keeping tally of Rooney’s awards season looks and will continue to track and guestimate her next move for you here …

A Brief History of Shailene Woodley — LA Native and 2012 Golden Globes Nominee

by: Our Little Truffle Hunters - January 12th, 2012   Filed under: FASHION
FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Shailene Woodley in Marchesa at the 2012 Golden Globes on Sunday, Jan 15, 2012

Well, we were dying to see what Shailene would wear last night on the red carpet (it was Marchesa) and put together this little photo montage for you of all her awards season looks to track the fashion progression of this 20 year old tyke — leading up to the Golden Globes dress last night … Here is a tally of Shailene’s awards season looks and some notes on this L.A. Native.

Shailene Woodley (20, who went to Simi Valley high school) plays the roll Amy Jurgens on The Secret Life Of The American Teenager on ABC (the show is coincidentally taped at Grant High School in the valley not far from Simi Valley high). Her mother on the show, Ann Jurgens, is played by 80s teen icon Molly Ringwald.

After losing her virginity at band camp, Amy discovers that she’s pregnant — and the show goes on to detail her life pregnant in high school, in the valley.

Her break–out performance in The Descendants opposite George Clooney has earned her a nomination for a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe — putting her on a new level of stardom and fashion.

When you find yourself starring in a nominated film, one of the first things you need to do is find yourself a decent stylist.

Why you ask? Shailene will now need about 75 new dresses for each of the premieres for The Descendents around the world, each film festival where The Descendents was screened, each awards ceremonies where it was nominated, plus dinners, parties in celebration of those awards ceremonies. Not to mention all the dressed-downed outfits she’ll need for all the talk shows and press junkets that will come up.

Let’s take a closer look at what it means to star in a nominated film … Here is a tally of Shailene’s awards season looks:

“Vogue 100″ ladies host Dior party in BH [SLIDESHOW]

by: Caroline M. Roman - December 19th, 2011   Filed under: All, Beverly Hills, Events & Parties, FASHION
FacebookTwitterTumblrShare

Class was in session at the Dior store on Rodeo Drive thanks to Vogue and the magazine’s ambassadors — co-hosts Angelique Soave and Christine Chiu, both part of the Vogue 100.

What is the Vogue 100, you ask? Well, 100 women around the US who Vogue finds intriguing and represents the modern day Vogue woman. Vogue 100 women are tastemakers, stylemakers, and influencers living the Vogue lifestyle; they are usually actively involved in the arts, fashion, and of course, philanthropy. Vogue 100 members are asked to host Vogue events throughout the country, and invite their friends. Monthly “care packages” are sent to the ladies containing handbags, accessories, beauty products, and even clothing from the Vogue closet. The Vogue 100 women do change from year to year (as some women fall in and out of vogue ;) .) Click to Continue Reading

Karl Lagerfeld (seen with British model Stella Tennant above) had editors and socialites seated at banquet tables instead of the usual front row for his 2012 pre-fall show December 6, 2011 in Paris. Chandeliers, opulent candlesticks, Indian themed clothes and facial jewels were a huge hit at a feast fit for a Maharaja.
