Chanel: Her Life

 If you happen to be by the Soho House (in LA) this weekend, don’t be surprised by all the little pink ‘CC’s in everyone’s pictures up on the photo wall … for tonight Chanel took over the top floors of the members-only club to help celebrate the new book ‘Chanel: Her Life’ by Justine Picardie (a new Truffle fave) …A lovely talk between the author and Liz Goldwyn, whose grandfather Samuel Goldywn is discussed in the book for his friendship and early recognition of Chanel, was held in the Soho House screening room (avec some slides from the book) and was followed by a garden dinner on the roof with endless wine, champagne, burrata salads, paella, pizza and more. The regular ‘photo boudior’ in the Soho hallway was re-styled for the party with the brands’ trademark double ‘CC’s for guest pics (click thru slideshow above to see).

Gift bags included a signed copy of the new book and a bottle of the house’s signature perfume, Chanel No. 5. Author Justine told the Truffle she’s been collecting notes and keeping journals in preparation of the book since 1998. ‘Chanel: Her Life‘ is a beautiful read marked with illustrations by Karl Lagerfeld.

“Starring” Part 1 (Part 2 continued below)

In 2007 Jeremy Scott shot this short film with Beverly Hills/Los Angeles natives Tori Spelling, China Chow, Liz Goldwyn and Monet Mazur who’ve learned from the best. This is film was “inspired by TV soap operas and the gorgeous women who inhabit them,” according to Jeremy Scott, who wrote and directed this little gem of genius.  Monet Mazur plays a housewife, Tori Spelling plays a home-wrecker / gold-digger from Kentucky, Liz Goldwyn plays twin sisters, China Chow plays the scheming maid in this 15 minute film shot in Beverly Hills … the film also stars  Asia Argento, Lisa Marie and Cameron Richardson, and Amber Valletta who makes a special appearance for a mid-show commercial.

Gad midsommar! What better way to spend Midsummer, the oh so magical Swedish holiday, than to eat, drink, and be merry with Jeremy Scott and Kanon Organic Vodka at the Sunset Marquis Hotel. The North Villa Gardens at the Sunset Marquis were the perfect setting for this ethereal luncheon, honoring the very important Swedish holiday marking the astronomical beginning of Summer which also celebrates fertility, magic, and love. I couldn’t have asked for a better Midsummer thanks to great company, most delicious food (SMH, who knew?!), and specialty drinks for our 3 course luncheon.

MOCA Gala 2010

THIS IS A HAPPENING! I consider a great LA night when a convergence of local talent is pooled to create a memorable shared experience; last night MOCA delivered … IN SPADES! After the red carpet and cocktail hour where I never quite made it into the exhibit titled ‘The Artist’s Museum’, organized by Rebecca Morse (then again, I didn’t make it to the exhibit last year as well….); guests proceeded into the tent that was erected in the middle of Grand Avenue downtown LA for the MOCA Winter Gala envisioned by artist Doug Aitken. Rachel Bilson, Chloe Sevigny, Mila Kunis, Elodie Bouchez, Kate Bostworth, Peter Marino, Kristen Dunst, Ginnifer Goodwin … flanked by their publicists and BFF’s at the Chanel table, Chanel fine jewelry being a sponsor for the evening; needless to say plenty of sprarkly bobbles and lace abounded at the longest table in the room.

I’m sure (or guessing) most of you know Waris Ahluwalia, actor and jewelry designer extraordinare. Waris is the definition of cool, don’t believe me?  Look up “cool” in the dictionary. You might remember Waris from the movies The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, Inside Man, or Darjeeling Limited, or know him from seeing his picture at all the hottest NYC spots. Not only is he funny, kind, and an awesome jewelry designer, but he also has some seriously cool style…Who else do you know that could wear a summer knit suit with white Birkenstocks and pull it off so effortlessly? Guests drank sparkling water, wine, and champagne while eating pretty and delish finger foods; my favorite was a mini scallion pancake with a cucumber on top. Waris walked around with a handful of Waris Love’s You pins, which I thought was the cutest touch EVErrrr!

If you have been reading the Daily Truffle for a few months, you know that the subject of art in LA (or lack of it) is very important to us.

Spending a lot of my childhood in NYC, and being exposed to museums and amazing exhibits, I developed a liking for anything art related at a very early age.

I am now pleased to say that within the past few months, LA has progressed significantly.  Saturday night alone there were 2 shows focused on photographers; however we still want moreeee! Click to Continue Reading
