SHOWCASED EVENT

MAISON TRUDON | VERSAILLES

AN EVENING RECEPTION IN HONOR OF THE COLLECTION

TRUDON | MARCH 28TH 2024 | WEST HOLLYWOOD

“Scent is the only sense directly related to the brain,” declares Julien Pruvost, Creative Director and nose of the world’s oldest scent/candle company, Maison Trudon, which historically lined Marie Antoinette’s bedroom and Paris churches. Its only L.A. outpost now open on Melrose. “It doesn’t travel to our nervous system.” Your brain is hit by more than a waft of florals, spices aromatic,  when its WeHo door opens to the modernly quaint boutique. It’s like a wind, more monsoon than Santa Ana. A sniffy – and spiffy – crowd gathered this week to check out the maker of candles since 1643 new collection: Versailles.

The candles, in azure blue, stamped with the brand’s historic gold crest, is reminiscent of King Louis IV’s magnificent gardens – perfect for L.A. summer, whether you’ve got a garden, a porch or a rent control one bedroom.  How does one dress for a colorful room full of literally rich candles ($55 to $700), exotic diffusers (in Trudon green glass bases) and powerful Eau de Parfums named Josephine, Ernesto, Cyranos? Well, colorful personalities don’t need to wear color, necessarily. They just need to be themselves.

SHOWCASED EVENT

BRAND EVENT AT MAXFIELD

Multi-platinum artist, entrepreneur, and philanthropist YG attended an exclusive Willy Chavarria brand event.

MAXFIELD | MARCH 22ND 2024 | WEST HOLLYWOOD

Billie Eilish is not the only muse of CFA-award winning NY designer (and OG Angeleno) Willy Chavarria. The iconoclastic singer wears his unisex designer on red carpets – like this year’s Golden Globes and Grammy’s. “My other muses are,” Willy told me, “are Madonna and boyfriend (boxer) Josh Popper, and that guy who played Dario on Griselda (actor Alberto Guerra). And of course, YG.” Chavarria did a personal appearance at Maxfield for an installation of his spring collection, with YG in tow – the rapper walked in Chavarria’s NYFW spring/summer 2024 collection show. Willy worked his way up the fashion ladder, working for Nick Graham, Ralph Lauren, Yeezy Gap and Calvin Klein. Next for WC: “a new underwear line – I call it ‘dirty filthy’ – with holes, semen stains (we think he’s kidding); they’ll sell for $350 a pair.” Sounds like he’s got another hit on his hands – and bod.

THE REAL L.A. DEAL

THE REAL DEAL

Early last year prolific Fine Artist, Venice's own Charles Arnoldi, was approached by British Luxe label Alexander McQueen to incorporate a pattern from one of Arnoldi's paintings for a series of dresses, suits and t-shirts. Best part of the deal, Arnoldi's enchanting Novelist wife, Katie, modeled the said dress for us. We recently caught up with Charles at his studio to see his newer works.
