The film follows a teenager named “Bella” over the course of a languid Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles (shot during the Carmaggdon weekend, when the 405 was closed). The gathered crowd included fellow film maker Miranda July, Gia’s aunt Sofia Coppola, and Jane Keltner and Andrew Bevan both from Teen Vogue.

The project was art directed by co-hostess and Lula editor Leith Clark and features pieces from Wren’s Spring 2012 collection and accessories from jewelry designer Dana Lorenz and features Vogue editor Lisa Love’s daughter and friend of Gia, Nathalie Love.

AS you know, we heart the Palihouse and highly recommend you get a room their sometime or suggest it to a visiting friend. We also heart shoes and Alice+Olivia so didn’t need much prompting when it came to Stacey Bendet’s soiree for her new shoe collection (yes, they have shoes now). Platforms, wedges and heels hung from a tree like Christmas but forget the pine needles and bring on the fleurs – that’s french for flowers, don’t you know. Face paint, gift bags and the DJ-violinist duo of Caitlin Moe and Mia Moretti completed the much expected chic night out.

A little lesser known gem to those in know is the Petit Ermitage Hotel not to be confused with the big L’ermitage on Burton Way. This golden truffle is located in a secretive residential enclave and is the home to many a chic soiree whose hostesses have tired of the usual venue drills. Last night, Emily Current and Meritt Elliott (both of Current/Elliot) had a dinner party to show off the collection they are now doing with Kate Spade called Westward. At the dinner were Gia Coppola, Jaime King, Michelle Trachtenberg, Sasha Spielberg, Zelda Williams and Emma Roberts.

Next onto the INStyle Mag event on the London rooftop - Diane Kruger, David Arquette, Seth MacFarlane, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Abigail Spencer, Erika Christensen, Jessica Capshaw, Sarah Silverman, Cameron Silver all appeared for the the 10th Annual InStyle Summer Soiree held at The London Hotel in WeHo.

On view for a try on were the Fall collections from Freeway Eyewear by L.A. based Alex Israel and Emily Jerome‘s ready to wear line Jerome. Freeway ( named for the confluence of our highways), had an array of offerings that any debutante or louche alike would be happy to shade behind … just ask bespeckled and always yummy Abigail Spencer, Gia Coppola or hottie Lucy Punch (btw she looked awesome in classic red lipstick!) who were in attendance.

Jerome outfitted our lovely co hostess Vogue’s Jessica Kantor as well as one of our musical treasure Z Berg; both in all over sequins. Yeah, never wrong with a bit of sparkle, I say.

Resplendent in a flow of pattern, also courtesy of Jerome was Gillian Zinser who never fails to give good outfit whenever spotted out and about. Sisters Nathalie Love & Laura Love rounded out the second generation of fashion notables along with Bee Shaffer …

Crush of the night went to none other than Jaclyn Smith, (“Kelly” on the original Charlie’s Angels …) who attended in support of her daughter Spencer Richmond who co-starred in Freeway’s first fashion film … !

Entertainment: DJ Myles Hendrik and musician Ariana Delawari

More guests include: Geri Hirsh (blogger, because I’m addicted)
Taryn Cox (blogger, taryncoxthewife.com), Cameron Silver (owner of Decades) and more.

invitation for frank pic opening

It was quite a reception Saturday night for all the YPT on the Westside for the opening of a group show at Frank Pictures gallery in Bergamont Station.

Then again, what would you expect when the offspring of such L.A. luminaries like Jacqui Coppola Getty and Eric & Lisa Eisner, (check Lisa out in the current French Vogue guest edited by her pal Tom Ford!!), Gia Coppola (looking effortlessly chic in Chinese PJ trousers), continues captivating a certain sensual innocence that is oh so appealing, here with frequent collaborator Natalie Love as model (mom is Lisa Love, L.A. based Vogue editor).

Louis Eisner was supported not only by his parents but also in attendance were Roman Alonso from Commune and his DJ bro Charlie Eisner.

Impressive work from a roster of mostly under 25ers , my fave was a wax sculture by Jane Moseley, who recently shared a group show with Sage Grazer (daughter of Brian Grazer, no name dropping here …) in NYC at Elga Wimmer gallery. Cute peeps, brooskies and eye candy of the art type and we were more than satisfied with a well spent evening …

Black Swan

Seven (jeans) knows how to party. The jeans maker had two back to back parties to celebrate their 10 year Anniversary - first with Vanity Fair (Tuesday night) and then with Vogue Thursday night. Though not all mankind were invited, a cool thing about the Vogue dinner party was an installation set up in the home in Beverly Hills themed for the 7 senses … and you thought there were only 5!

Over at the Santa Monica airport, Sanrio held a VIP night to kick off their 9 day exhibit and carnival at the Barker Hanger.  The company has invited popular artists from around the world to collaborate in two standout art exhibitions: Small Gift Los Angeles and Small Gift Miami, during Art Basel. Small Gift Los Angeles is a 10 day carnival-style event open to the public Friday, November 12 – Sunday, November 21 at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

We love offspring! Sam Branson was in L.A. with his dad Richard Branson, and grandmother Eve Branson, for the family’s annual Rock The Kasbah gala.

The Los Angeles Opera often grabs a tenor or two and meets us half from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion for a little performance. Thursday, they teamed up with Stuart Weitzman on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills to put on a mini opera behind the store in the Rodeo Collection under the stars.

Earlier in the day, Neiman Marcus held a tea party for Ken Downing, a fashion week front row regular and fashion director for Neiman Marcus.

BAMBI trophy winner Orlando Bloom attended the 2010 BAMBI Awards wearing Chopard’s Grand Prix de Monaco Historique watch.

And now for something a little different … the 2010 Bambi Awards were held in Germany on Thursday. This is the coolest awards show you’ve never heard of! And likely to have the best dressed attendee list too! Named after Bambi (yes, the deer) these awards honor media and TV influencers. You know it’s cool when Beth Ditto, SJP, Orlando Bloom and Karl Lagerfeld are the headliners! Another need-to-know fact is that the actual award itself, shape of BAMBI the deer, is manufactured by Chopard!! It doesnt get much more chic! See the winners.

WHAT: Cocktails to celebrate Tod’s new Beverly Hills boutique which features a new “home” design concept unlike any of our stores throughout the world. To commemorate the re-opening, we collaborated with two renowned Italian pioneers with monumental achievements in the entertainment industry: Dante Ferretti; the Academy Award-winning production designer/art director and Milena Canonero, the three time Academy Award winning costume designer. In homage to Hollywood, Ferretti transformed the VIP showroom on the third floor of the boutique into an elegant, sophisticated lounge area reminiscent of 40’s supper clubs Ciro’s and Macombo – complete with an original 1946 rock-ola jukebox and lacquered paneled walls with amber mirroring. Canonero, in the spirit of Hollywood, designed a “Script bag” which launched exclusively in the Beverly Hills boutique.

The evening celebrated the arrival of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s (MOCA) newly appointed Director, Jeffrey Deitch and benefited Jeffrey’s first exhibition to be unveiled in June.

Gia Coppola, Sage Grazer and Tracy Antonopoulos - photo from Mark Hunter

Three adorable and talented ladies of Los Angeles held a chic art show last night at 8432 Melrose Place. Gia Coppola and Sage Grazer are both photographers and Tracy Antonopoulos is a filmmaker.

Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor (center) was at Gia Coppola and Sage Grazer's art show last night wearing a foxtail on her purse, as was her friend Rumer Willis (right) - photo from Mark Hunter

You know where else you’ll see foxtails on bags? Louis Vuitton added mangy tails to their sacs in their spring ad campaigns like this one from Vogue February 2010. My guess is the girls are carring 80s vintage Coach.

Also in attendance were friends of the young artists including Atlanta de Cadenet (daughter of Amanda de Cadenet and John Taylor from Duran Duran), Mike Moonves (son of Les), Nathalie Love (daughter of Vogue west coast editor Lisa Love, often featured on The Hills), Joe Jonas, Camilla Belle, and Charlie and Louie Eisner (children of Eric & Lisa Eisner who were also at the art show).

Brian Grazer (father of Sage) and Jacqui Getty (mother of Gia) along with Sophia Coppola (aunt of Gia) and Roman Coppola (uncle) were there to support. Demi Moore (friend of Jacqui) came too with Ashton Kutcher daughters Rumer and Tallulah Willis.

I went by to peruse the art and see friends, including Darren Romanelli, Seth Berman, Liz Goldwyn, and Lauren Brokaw. I thought a lot of the work was really cool. Sage’s photos were all small – 5×7 maybe. I have never seen scaled down work but it was nice and interesting for a change. I suppose you might not always want a huge photograph. My favorite was one she had taken of a beach ball in her pool. You can see all Sage’s work on her website: http://www.sagegrazer.com/

Malibu, CA by Sage Grazer

Gia’s photos were interesting too. I thought her choice to mix sizes and eliminate frames was fresh and inviting. It really looked like you were floating through a cool collage of her scrapbooks. My favorite photo of hers was a New York Post cover of Lindsay Lohan and the case of stolen fur coat, on her floor.

Gia's art - photo from WWD

Tracy Antonopoulos’ films in the back were positioned with headphones on 4 black tabletop stands and were all different. The cutest one starred her friend, Nathalie Love, who is the daughter of Lisa Love, who you often saw featured on The Hills when Lauren and Whitney were interning at Vogue – she is the one who gave Lauren a hard time about going to Paris when Lauren wanted to stay in Malibu for the summer with Jason – big mistake – huge!).

As the evening grew later, the girls ordered pizza. Adorable.

Lady Gaga (in Prada S/S 2010) with choreographer Francesco Vezzoli, Muccia Prada on arrives at MOCA is the same dress from her Spring '10 collection.

We are so excited about all the change happening in the art world here in L.A.! You have NO IDEA how much!!!

We are planning to closely track what we are now calling the “Gallerinas” and “Galleratti” – so stay tuned!

We feel soon that you won’t be able to attend any premiere or red carpet without there being flying acrobats coming at you or some artistic collaboration. We believe Hollywood is going to propel performance art into the mainstream and soon gallery owners, art collectors and artists will be as well know as producers, directors and actors.

We are very excited about all this and largely attribute it to MOCA for putting together the correct group of people for this year’s 30th anniversary Gala last night – and by that I am referring to Dasha Zhukova, Francesco Vezzoli and Lady Gaga. The Dream Team!

Total auction dollars raised was 3.5M. MOCA’s chief curator, Paul Schimmel, tour the stars through the MOCA permanent collection at their 30th anniversary gala. Permanent collection includes work by Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Prince, Raymond Pettibon, Mark Rothko, Edward Ruscha (who was in attendance with his wife), Christopher Wool, Larry Clark, Nan Goldin, Franz Kline, etc. In honor of its 30th anniversary, MOCA is also offering free admission through Friday. The exhibition will be up through until Spring 2010. MOCA performers’ costumes are also up for auction online through Nov. 30. All of the funds raised will be used to benefit the exhibition and education programs.

One gala attendee at MOCA downtown remarked: “This event is so big that its insane… How often do you get all of these people in one room together ???? NEVER… Marrying art to ballet (referring to the Bolshoi ballet that was bussed in from Moscow thanks to Dasha) to Lady Gaga’s bizarre antics with notable individuals from all over the world should NOT be taken lightly. This event was more European than anything. NYC-style but very European as well.”

It helps to have star support. And you can credit the powerful turn out last night to Francesco Vezzoli, the Italian performance artist who has produced saucy, sexy, performance and mock art pieces from faux trailers to faux commercials and star A list actors like Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Helen Mirren, Gore Vidal, Benecio del Toro, Milla Jovavich and Gerard Butler.

His history of bringing the stars together did not fail last night.

But beyond all the “Brangies” and the “Gwavins” we welcome the new set of “Gallerinas” – as they’ll soon be known – who were present to usher in this historic event that will completely update the L.A. art world. The after party Saturday after the MOCA gala was hosting by Dasha Zhukova (editor of POP magazine and founder of the Garage Centre for Contemporary Culture), Ed & Danna Ruscha, Chloe Sevigny, Kate & Laura Mulleavy (of Rodarte) and Rosetta Getty at Prism Gallery in West Hollywood. “Localites” at the gala and after party include Doug Aitken, hotelier André Balazs, Yves Behar, banker Nicolas Berggruen, Devendra Banhart, Klaus Biesenbach, Irving Blum, Io Bottoms, Gia Coppola (granddaughter of Francis Ford), Douglas Cramer, L.A.

Artist and promoter Louis Carreon said “It was a breath of fresh air – a sexy mix of art and pop culture in Hollywood’s newest art venue! (prism on sunset). One attendee said some people were saying the stage was too small for the ballerinas but that everyone could agree on one thing – It was an important night for L.A.

Griffin, who directed Rodarte’s last fashion film video with Jenny Lewis, attended the after party, which was co-hosted by the Rodarte sisters and Grey Goose. The fashion film director said it was weird that not a lot of people outside these circles seemed to know about the event. The next he commented no one was blogging online and even the major outlets didn’t have stories. Just a bunch of photos with captions lying around the net. Even Style.com which normally would hit such a thing.

A lot of people can’t comprehend the concept that this event marks the turning point of art in L.A. because it is the first time THE RIGHT people have demonstrated how to fuse dance and art with fashion and Hollywood. Soon it will be the norm to expect art collaborations in your fashion and  operettas sung to you as you enter a party and wild dance performances as basic entertainment. It will be as expected to know major art world patrons, artists and galleriest as we now know celebutantes, A List actors and reality “actors”.

But one naysayer has little faith in Los Angeles’ ability to change. “One of the things that is really a plus for NYC is that you can go to Times Square and see the premier of Madame Butterfly @ Lincoln Center on the big screen if you don’t attend the show. There are like 1,000 chairs in front of the huge TV and red petals everywhere! It was such a beautiful idea and really brought people together. What do we have? TMZ! Its such a trek to have to go downtown to see a show… Not even as good of a show as u would see on Broadway or off Broadway… NOT TO MENTION that in NYC u dress up to go c a show and in la people wear sweats and work out clothes. I was so disappointed last year when I went to multiple opera’s and people were like super casually dressed. I’m going to take my aggression out on la and go to London / Paris / Austria, to see a show dressed in a ball gown with spectacles. Sooooo annoying to me because people LOVE art here and we don’t have a good selection ”

We disagree … There is an art and performance art revolution in the making and we are on it! Watch this video from Vogue.com featuring Annie Leibowitz and Grace Coddington – they agree and are planning an incredible performance arts issue for December featuring none other than Lady Gaga! See a pattern people?? In it, Grace says it was “Anna’s” idea to bring in Lady Gaga. Looks like we are not the only ones obsessed with the “performance arts” lately!

Not yet mentioned are the charitable donations from art collector and philanthropist Eli Broad has given the art world in L.A., international super-dealer and co-chair Larry Gagosian, and MOCA board of trustee and gala co-chair Maria Arena Bell and her family. Eli Broad is about to open a new museum in Beverly Hills called THE BROAD CONTEMPORARY ART COLLECTION. He is currently considering the Starbucks building and adjacent lots across the street from The Peninsula Hotel on little Santa Monica Blvd.
