EDITORS’Letter

FASHION is here!

Now that the Fall 2016 collections have wrapped, it’s time to bring the fashion world to you, dear Hollywood readers, with a special issue celebrating the very best of the season and introducing you to the winners of our second-annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards. They are, without a doubt, the most vibrant and exciting group of people in fashion today, and their vision shapes the red carpet just as much as it shapes the runways.

Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld, fashion creative Carine Roitfeld, stunning model Bella Hadid, and many others join us in this issue and on our stage, along with one of the most complex and astonishing artists of our time, Lady Gaga, who this year also makes her mark as the editor of a breathtaking issue of V Magazine. Although this is our second FLA Awards issue, it’s a first for Karl and Carine, who have never been photographed together for a cover before, and it is also the first time Karl photographed a cover for The Daily. After the shoot, which had been planned for a long time in complete secrecy, Karl commented that Carine is able to give people more talent than they already have. Indeed, if there is a common thread for all FLA honorees, other than their fashion accomplishments, it is that they make everything and everyone around them better. And for this, we celebrate them in these pages.

RETAILER REPORT!

FITNESS FIX! MOSCHINO

5 LOOKS WE LOVED! FROM MOSCHINO’S F/W 16 COLLECTION

INTRODUCING HEADSTRONG, A RADICAL NEW FITNESS CLASS BY PRO TRAINER MICHAEL GERVAIS THAT’S COMING TO EQUINOX LOCATIONS IN LOS ANGELES. GERVAIS EXPLAINS THE CONCEPT…

What’s your background?

For more than 15 years I’ve studied yoga and meditation, which has included an indepth understanding of the central nervous system; the past four years, I have been exploring this discipline as an instructor at Equinox.

What inspired the creation of HeadStrong?

We wanted to find a way to offer the benefits of mindfulness and meditation, with a modern, active, Michael Gervais more physically intense application.

HeadStrong is our first class in the “active regeneration” category, and it is grounded in science-based research and the understanding that training the mind while you train the body will further drive brain health.

What can we expect in the class?

HeadStrong is a challenging, 60-minute, “main studio” format that will work your heart, muscles, lungs, and your brain. When I say main studio, I mean this doesn’t look like a yoga or meditation class. It is a sweaty workout that will challenge your limits, both physically and mentally. You will “focus” on sensations, “adapt” to changing variables, and challenge your “willpower” to reach new thresholds. Class concludes with a targeted mental “reboot,” to down-regulate your nervous system, so you leave feeling more energized and focused than when you arrived.

WITH GRETCHEN PACE, VP AND GENERAL MANAGER, NEIMAN MARCUS BEVERLY HILLS

What’s new in the shoe department?

Our shoe department is twice the size it was previously, and has been transformed into more of an environment to spend time in. One of our most popular additions is our champagne bar, with a curated list of choices to enjoy.

What’s the latest at Mariposa?

The Mariposa restaurant has become even more of a destination than it was before. The renovation created intimate booths, some casual seats, and added a bar with seating as well. Our amazing chef, Francis Dimitrius, is constantly coming up with new specials and menu items based on seasonal ingredients.

What’s your favorite way to spend a day at Neiman Marcus Beverly Hills?

It would start with a facial in one of our spa rooms, followed by a color application from one of our beauty lines, a trip to Avery Fragrances (our curated perfume collection), lunch with friends at Mariposa, followed by champagne! We would then shop the row of new handbag shops, which would land us in the beautiful new precious and designer jewelry areas. That only covers two floors!

SAVING FACE!

WITH DERM TO THE STARS DR. HAROLD LANCER

When did you launch your skin-care practice?

I opened my private practice in 1983 in L.A. It became painfully obvious that the majority of consumers have no idea about basic skin care. So I created The Method, which involves polish, cleanse, and nourish. That’s evolved into 24 products.

Why did you decide to enter retail?

Initially, the products were designed only for my patients’ use. It wasn’t until 2011 when Oprah Winfrey, who’s a patient of mine, suggested that I bring it to the marketplace.

Tell us about your partnership with Ryan Seacrest.

Ryan Seacrest has been a friend and patient for 15 years. He asked to collaborate on a men’s line. I’m currently developing three products with him—men can’t handle more than three—that will launch in the fall.

RETAILER REPORT!

WITH RON ROBINSON You always have a zillion new things happening. What’s the latest?

The arrival of Jeremy Scott x Melissa Shoes. We have styles for women and for kids, all of them are limited edition—very colorful, very pop culture, very Ron Robinson. The launch party will be in our Santa Monica flagship concept store. Then in April, we are launching Co + Co by Coco Rocha. Coco is coming for the launch event on April 7, and she’ll be signing her book Study of Pose: 1,000 Poses by Coco Rocha. In May, we are collaborating with the Morrison Hotel Gallery and displaying a photo series from famous rock photographer Ethan Russell. His limited-edition prints will be for sale in the store for the whole month of May. I haven’t decided which one I am bringing home with me— maybe all!

Best sellers from the new spring collections?

Our Missoni Home pieces are selling like crazy. And I have to admit, my new Apothia fragrance, Bronzed, is doing extremely well; it smells like a warm summer night near the beach!

What’s it like working with Natasha Poly?

Natasha is one of the best movers in the business, and she understands what the clothes need to come alive.

How did you help transform Natasha into the “Express girl”?

The Express girl is young, cool, confident, and a lot of fun. She dances through life, thrilled at where she is and at what lies ahead of her. We had great music on set and all danced with her around the pool and on the beach.

What was your vision for the campaign?

An expressive, loving-life kind of enthusiasm and a sense of easy style.

What was it like shooting in Puerto Rico?

The location at Dorado Beach was unbelievable. It was our first time there, and it had so many great areas to shoot, which helped bring in some spectacular shots for the video.

Do you often shoot TV and film?

Yes, and we love it. Planning the film brings in more inspiration as it forces you to contract a story line through movement, music, editing, and effects.

KING KARL FASHION ICON

Few have influenced fashion with the fearlessness and force of Karl Lagerfeld. Although he famously refuses to look back, his work for Chanel has become an indelible part of our culture, changing the way that even those who have never heard of him, or his brand, dress themselves in the morning. Lagerfeld’s fantastic means of revealing his ideas—on a carousel! in a swimming pool! on an iceberg!—have become bona fide moments that transcend the fashion-sphere and enchant people all around the world who experience his collections online.

BY ASHLEY BAKER it is Chanel, even if it was never like this.

You’ve been taking your runway bows with Hudson Kroenig for the past few seasons. What makes him such a special kid?

Hudson is the Shirley Temple boy of fashion.

What do you make of the current exodus of creative directors at Dior, Saint Laurent, and Lanvin? Could the fashion show schedule be partly responsible?

I don’t think so, and you know I have no time to think about this kind of problem, because it is not my problem.

Why do you connect with Stephen Gan? I’ve know him for nearly 20 years, so we had time to build a good connection.

What makes Carine Roitfeld such an effective collaborator?

Carine’s secret is that she gives people more talent than they have.

This is your first cover shoot with Carine, which you did exclusively for The Daily. The photo looks incredible. Does she make a great model?

She is not a model, she is Carine Roitfeld!

Have you ever thought about getting your cat, Choupette, a feline companion?

Choupette hates other animals, cats especially.

Why did you appoint Willow Smith as your latest brand ambassadress?

Because she has the face of future beauty.

When was your most recent visit to L.A., and what brought you there?

It is not that recent, I regret. Because I hear it is becoming better and better. I came for a fashion shoot and for Chanel’s Cruise show.

What’s your favorite way to spend time in Los Angeles?

To show a collection or to take photos.

What are the best new films you’ve seen recently?

Mustang and Carol.

Your work is always future-oriented, but does anything in your personal life make you nostalgic?

I hate nostalgia. ß

You are the ultimate fashion icon, and the most legendary designer of our time. How does it feel to have replaced that other legend, Coco Chanel, and make her legacy your own?

I never analyzed that situation. It would be dangerous.

I would end up with a big hat!

Just like a great actor who inhabits different characters, you exist in different worlds when you create collections for Chanel, Fendi, and Karl Lagerfeld. How do you manage to travel among them so seamlessly?

I have no personality, I have three!

What does it take to be a truly great fashion designer?

There are no rules; if not, everybody would be a great fashion designer!

What does it take to be a truly great photographer?

To have the right eye.

What does it take to be a truly great fashion editor?

It is not my job.

Which clients do you most enjoy—couture or ready-to-wear?

I enjoy everything I do. But I have very little to do with the clients.

Which forms of social media do you rely on most?

All of them, but I still like print best.

You’ve shown in Salzburg, Vienna, Saint-Tropez, and soon, you’ll show in Cuba. Where else would you like to show in the future? Has any venue eluded you for logistical reasons?

Any place where I can imagine Chanel, even if she had never been there. Because my job is to make believe FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

QUEEN CARINE MAGAZINE OF THE YEAR: CR FASHION BOOK

Ultimate imagemaker Carine Roitfeld is driven by the desire to create the next big story that will change the way we think of fashion. In her groundbreaking work for CR Fashion Book, her distinct voice is growing louder and louder.

How big is your team, and how many outside contributors are you working with?

My team is small—a tight-knit team that is very loyal, and growing bigger by the day. I am fortunate to constantly be meeting fresh, young talented people who are excited to be working with the magazine and for me.

How do you discover new photographers? Do they pitch themselves, or do you research them?

Usually it is my team. Like me, they are always looking out for who will be the next big thing. I trust them, and they rarely let me down. I also love to look at images on Instagram, and believe it or not, sometimes you find new and very talented photographers or emerging talents.

How did you link up with Sebastian Faena?

I first worked with Sebastian for V many years ago; Mario Testino was part of the team. We work well together, and I am happy to call him a friend. It’s a family affair with Sebastian.

How closely do you communicate with Stephen Gan? Stephen and I have a unique relationship based on a foundation of mutual respect and trust. He gave me the freedom to do what I want, and accepts almost all my fantasies. We don’t need to speak every day— he doesn’t have to participate in all the meetings.

I remember one day he told me I was like a great performer, and he wanted to give me a stage. And it is true—I always have a new song to put out.

Your collections for Uniqlo have been very successful. Any plans to create more CRbranded product?

You will have to see! I am working on my new fragrance to launch in 2017 as part of other projects for CR. CR is so image-driven. What makes an interesting story from a text perspective?

The subject, of course. Pictures bring a story to life,

but it’s the words that give it meaning, and context.

Are magazines, in general, too word-focused these days? Is that a problem?

No, I don’t think so.… If anything, I believe it may be the opposite. Too many publications today are putting out stories like “how to make your boyfriend happy,” and “the top Instagram celebrities.” Those are not stories, and they are not what magazines are for.…

Magazines are meant to inspire.

Why did you choose Starworks to serve as CR’s entertainment editors?

They are simply the best at what they do. No one has their ear to the ground the same way they do.

What do you look for in a model?

A good story. Something different, a new beauty.

When I discover new models that I like, I push their career, and I am very loyal, so I am constantly making sure they are working with me for CR Fashion Book, Harper’s Bazaar, or campaigns and shows that I am consulting for. Look at my girls Lara Stone and Gigi Hadid today, to name a couple.

Who have been some of your biggest model finds?

Lara Stone, Kate Upton, Staz Lindes, Gigi Hadid. Just look at the latest issue of CR Fashion Book.

You’ve had a long relationship with Lady Gaga.

Why is she such an inspiring figure? And what is it about her look that you respond to?

She is a great artist, and she does whatever she wants…and that is a quality to which I can relate. She always reinvents herself.

Do you have any plans to make the pages of CR shoppable?

They are shoppable. You look at the pictures, and you go shopping.

It’s a challenging time for mass consumer titles.

What’s your best advice for print editors?

Don’t listen to what numbers and marketers tell you.

Don’t follow the voice of fear. Listen to yourself. Be

brave, and be fearless in following your intuition, always.

Why do you gravitate toward Instagram?

I think Instagram is a microcosm of young culture today. It tells you what your readers are hungry for.

When you first came up with the idea for CR, who were your biggest supporters?

Stephen Gan. He is a true friend, and he didn’t hesitate once when I told him this was my new dream. That’s what we do together—we make dreams. I am very grateful to all these people and great friends that helped me in my career. Some of them left me. Some of them are still here and loyal, but at the end of the day, you know yourself who you love and who loves you back. And every day is a new day, you meet new people and sometimes more interesting people. I am also very thankful to be surrounded by my forever friend Tom Ford, who gave me first the opportunity to be a consultant; Karl Lagerfeld, my mentor; Riccardo Tisci, of course; and my family and friends, who are always there.

How has the fashion community reacted to what you are doing with CR? People are always telling me how much they love CR, that it inspires them. It makes me happy. CR is not a magazine you buy to throw away the day after. You keep it. The readers buy and read CR because it is a collector’s item, a coffee-table book talking to people who want to see fashion.

Why was it the right time to launch CR Men’s Book?

To me, this is the most interesting moment in menswear. The mood is changing; men are no longer afraid of fashion. Soon it will be just as common to see a man in a skirt as a suit.

If you weren’t editing CR, what would you be doing?

Telling stories in some other way. That is what I do.

It’s who I am. ß

BORN THIS WAY EDITOR OF THE YEAR: LADY GAGA

How did V Magazine sign on Lady Gaga to guest edit its best-selling spring issue? Asking one of the world’s busiest women was the easiest part of the process.

Editor in chief Stephen Gan tells all.

BY EDDIE ROCHE She asked me about the most covers we’ve ever done in one issue. It was 15, and she said, “We have to do 16!”

Do you have a favorite?

I love them all. The one of Gaga and Inez staring at each other is great—Gaga wanted to look like Inez, and she’s wearing a black wig to mimic her hair.

When Gaga put on the McQueen, she was crying.

She felt like it was an honor to be wearing some of those pieces. And the Karl by Hedi and the Hedi by Karl cover. It’s so unlike me to say no—whatever you want, game on—but I thought that was going to be impossible.

Was Gaga afraid of any part of the magazinemaking process?

No. She is fearless. She was ballsy, and had a lot

of conviction on how things should look. If you read through the issue, she did the majority of it herself, and she put a lot of herself into it. She was so gracious and grateful for having been given the opportunity. We take our jobs for granted and sometimes complain, but she found it fascinating and immersed herself into it. She’s so grateful. For me, that was the reward of this venture.

How did you and Gaga meet?

We met seven years ago through a mutual friend over sushi in the East Village in New York one night. That was right before “Paparazzi” was about to hit.

And the rest is history. She comes across as very humble and thankful in the issue.

We’re journalists. We come across so many people.

D AV I D X . P R U T T I N G / B FA N YC . C O M ; S T E V E N K L E I N

How did the conversation begin?

About a year ago, I was at a friend’s birthday party in Paris. I was chatting with Gaga’s manager, Bobby [Campbell], and I said, “We should finally do something.” We had been talking about it for years.

Gaga was a regular columnist for V, and she always wanted to do more. I said, “Is it time for her to edit a whole issue?” He said, “When?” He felt like early 2016 was going to be quiet, but then she won a Golden Globe, appeared on the Grammy Awards, and performed at the Super Bowl, all within a month.

How did it all come together?

Gaga came into the office a couple of times, and we talked, but we had one really pivotal conversation on the phone. I said, “What are some of your craziest ideas?” and the first thing she said was that she wanted Karl Lagerfeld to shoot Hedi Slimane and Hedi Slimane to shoot Karl Lagerfeld. I said, “That will never happen! What’s next on your list?”

Why did you assume it was so hard to pull off?

Karl and Hedi had been very close 10 years ago, but they hadn’t kept in touch. I thought they were going to be too busy. Gaga said, “Come on! Give it a try.

Make those calls!” I did, and they miraculously both said yes. A month later, I found myself in a studio in Paris with Karl and Hedi, and Gaga on FaceTime.

How involved was she?

She did everything. We had to run everything by her.

She was right in the thick of filming American Horror Story: Hotel, so the story with all her cast members was really important to her. I didn’t even show up, but she art-directed the whole thing and wrote about each and every single person in the cast. She brainstormed with Inez & Vinoodh and Steven Klein, and she was really excited about the fact that Steven and Lee McQueen had been so close. She wanted to give McQueen some kind of tribute, and 90 percent of the clothes we used in the shoot came out of Daphne Guinness’s personal collection. It was Gaga’s chance to air out her fantasies and play.

Gaga’s issue of V had an astounding 16 different covers. How did that come about?

SWEET SIXTEEN Gaga broke V records with 16 different covers of her special issue. Her “fashion guard” included Lee McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, Hedi Slimane, and fiancé Taylor Kinney.

“This issue of V is about all of those people coming together to express a passion for art and fashion, to really ‘go there’ to make a great statement and to change things... I feel like we all share an appetite for living a life of passion and creativity... It’s like we all found our immortality through art and fashion... We share that deep spiritual place. These are people who have kept me and protected me over the years, because they’ve wanted me to survive...

That’s part of the message of this issue: We have to carry each other through the decades and take care of one another and honor each other’s work...

I am saying thank you to all these people for everything they’ve given me...

I want to make sure the world knows who they are... It’s a guard of people...

I call them my fashion guard!”

Some leave you with a feeling of admiration, and some leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. She is probably one of the most humble and thoughtful and gracious and grateful people I know. From September through December, before the issue hit, she would text me about covers from L.A. in the middle of the night. She would always ask me how I was feeling. She’s so full of heart.

How did the issue perform at newsstand?

We went into our third printing, which has never happened before. It means we sold out twice! For me, it was a real breakthrough and a testament that print isn’t dying. You can come up with these ideas that end up selling really, really well.

Is there anybody else you’d want as a guest editor?

That’s tough to answer right now. I love collaborations, and I don’t want to turn anybody else off, but Gaga is a rare bird. I snooped around one day

and talked to her mom, and apparently, she took journalism classes at NYU, so she has magazine blood in her. How often do you find that in anyone?

How did you celebrate the issue?

We had a small party at the Rainbow Room in New York. She was coming to town and wanted to do something. We have a joke—whenever one of us is a little bit down, we text each other late at night and say, “I can’t wait to dance again!” And there we were, dancing at the Rainbow Room.

How can people get the issue?

A few hardbound copies are for sale at vmagazine.com.

They’re collector’s items!

How did you follow up this issue?

It’s hard to beat Gaga on the cover of V issue 99, and we have Britney Spears on the cover of V issue 100.

I’m grateful we’ve done the past couple of issues with these stars who are so completely different, but Britney is definitely a worthy follow-up. ß

When, exactly?

When we did the cover of GQ with Mario Testino and Brad [Pitt]. Brad was changing, and Mario said, “We need to take nude pictures of something like that—the body is so good right now.” And part of me was like, “Yeah, that body is pretty outrageous.” But ultimately, it’s work.

BEST JEWELRY DESIGNER: JENNIFER MEYER

She’s the mastermind of one of the most successful L.A.-based brands to emerge in the past decade, but Jennifer Meyer’s approach to jewelry has mass appeal that extends far beyond the borders of her native Hollywood.

BY EDDIE ROCHE PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA SAMPLE How did you learn to make jewelry?

I taught myself! I always wanted to do it, but when I started out, I didn’t know what I was doing. At the time, there was no Instagram—you couldn’t go online and see what other people were doing. You had to focus on yourself and your own vision. I was scared to put myself out there. When people began to wear and love my pieces, my life changed. To get credit for being part of the L.A. fashion world gives me chills.

What are the benefits of working in L.A.?

All my best friends, my family, my husband [Tobey Maguire], and my children are here, so I get to enjoy my personal life, which is more important to me than anything. Look at L.A.! The weather is perfect, it’s green, you’ve got the beach, the mountains… it’s constantly inspiring. I have incredibly talented friends. L.A. breeds talent—people who are excited to create. I get to be around them every day. It’s amazing.

Which friends were helpful when you launched?

A million of them! Around the time I launched, I was doing celebrity public relations for Ralph Lauren. I was really young and loved doing it, but something was missing. My boyfriend, who became my husband, kept on saying, “What do you want to do?

What’s your passion?” I finally said, “I want to do jewelry.” He used that Star Wars quote: “Do or do not. There is no try.” I had moved in with him by that time, and I saved my own money for my company.

Over months and months, I saved about $7,500. That amount of money in my bank account at the time felt like I was going to have enough money for the rest of my life. I didn’t ask anybody for help. This was going to be mine. If you’re going to blow money on anything, let it be your dream. I took the money and started going downtown and to Culver City looking for jewelers to make a few pieces.

What was your first major break?

When the stylists who worked with Jennifer [Aniston] on The Break-Up came in to Ralph Lauren to pull clothes, I was wearing my samples. I asked for their opinion, and they thought the pieces were really good. They said they’d show Jen, whom I didn’t

know at the time, but who has since become a good friend. I didn’t hear anything for three weeks. I was so embarrassed to even ask. Finally, I get a call from a production person for the movie telling me that they needed three of each piece, because she was going to wear them in the film. They were the only pieces I had, and they were shooting in five days. I was like, “Uh, okay! No problem!” I somehow turned it around.

When did the press hit?

Tobey and I were in Europe, and someone had an Us Weekly from that week and there were pictures of Jennifer on set and I said, “That looks like the leaf!”

It was the moment I had been waiting for. I couldn’t believe it. It just started to go from there.

When did Barneys pick you up?

Right away. That was luck. I always wanted to be in Barneys—I thought it was the be-all, end-all. I had no clue about fashion and what a season was. I was so lucky to be so ignorant in the whole situation. I asked everyone I knew if they knew anyone who worked at Barneys. One day I asked my friend, Jacqui Getty, and she said, “Yeah, and she happens to be here this weekend.” I got a call to meet [former Barneys fashion director] Julie Gilhart. I didn’t know who she was, thank God. For all I knew, she sold jewelry on the floor. We met up and she liked my wishbone, and she said she wanted to give her friend Alber Elbaz one for his birthday. I had no clue who he was. A few weeks later, I got a call from Barneys, who said that Julie loves my pieces. And they bought the collection! That was 10 years ago.

Who was the Jennifer Meyer girl at the time?

Me! I love the idea that you buy pieces that are classic and comfortable, and you wear them forever.

Who are your closest friends on the fashion scene?

I love them all! The Rodarte girls and Lisa Love have been incredibly supportive. Hedi Slimane is one of my best friends. I’d die without his love and support and guidance.

You were a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runnerup a few years ago.

Diane von Furstenberg became my mentor. Her

advice has been the greatest I’ve ever received. She’s become a friend, a mother figure, and her advice has changed my company.

She’s really smart when it comes to the little moments in your company and working with people to help support that. When I’ve had bumps, she’s quick to give me the right answer.

You’re growing beyond jewelry.

I was in a meeting with [Barneys COO and senior vice president] Daniella [Vitale] and we were talking about how we can expand around my 10th anniversary. She said, “It’s a slam dunk—you’re going to design a clothing line for Barneys!” It was so much fun. Jewelry is my first love and that’s what I’m always going to concentrate on, but doing something a little different and figuring out how the process works and seeing another side…I don’t know how fashion designers do it! That is way harder than jewelry.

What’s the aesthetic?

I always say in New York, you can only be too underdressed and in L.A., you can only be too overdressed. I really wanted to make pieces that you can wear during the day and can go through night, too. I also recently collaborated with Superga on a line of sneakers.

You have 10 people on your team. What kind of boss are you?

You’ll have to ask the girls I work with. I don’t consider myself a boss—I consider myself part of a team. I couldn’t do it without them. I always say that the most important thing is that people walk in and everyone feels happy. They go out together and are there for one another in hard times. That’s what matters to me. If a piece of jewelry gets lost, I care that we take responsibility and handle it, but I’m not going to be mad at anybody. Nobody’s getting fired. I want them with me forever.

You’ve asked Kate Hudson to present to you at our Fashion Los Angeles Awards. Why Kate?

She’s my oldest friend in the world. My dad was an agent for many, many years, and [Kate’s mother] Goldie Hawn was his client. She and I grew up together. Who’s cooler? Who’s cuter? Kate’s totally adorable and smart and gorgeous. She seemed like the perfect match, and she knows me inside out. I’m praying she keeps it kosher in the speech.

Have you ever won anything before?

I suck at sports, but in sixth grade, at tennis camp at Pepperdine University, I was named best camper, because I was really nice.

What did you win?

A duffel bag. ß

ALL ABOUT

EVA FASHION INNOVATOR: EVA CHOW

Eva Chow’s longtime commitment to the art, fashion, and film worlds has made her one of the most beloved, respected, and fabulous women in town.

We recently visited her Los Angeles home for a closer look at this ultraoriginal tastemaker.

BY EDDIE ROCHE PHOTOGRAPHY BY INEZ & VINOODH

Why is L.A. having a fashion moment?

I’ve lived here since 1994, so I feel like L.A. has always had its own kind of coolness, but a lot of people didn’t quite understand it. I believe every city has its moment, and perhaps it takes a few people to put a spotlight on it. That’s what has been happening in Los Angeles. The ’50s were all about Rome, the ’60s were London, the ’80s were New York…and L.A.’s time is right now. It has been brewing for many years. Now, there is a real community of unbelievable artists and musicians. L.A.’s cosmic energy is right, and the stars are aligned.

How have fashion and art become more intertwined?

In the past 10 years or so, artists and fashion designers really started collaborating or inspiring one another. Of course, Saint Laurent did his Mondrian collection way back when. Before, I think art and high fashion were not reachable to certain people. Now, because of the Internet and the informative world we live in, everybody knows about what’s going on. Every creative thing is mixing, which is fantastic. On the other hand, I feel sad because there’s too much of too much going on.

Meaning…

We live in the world of numbers—everything is seemingly about millions of followers and billions

of dollars. Of course, there were computers and everything, but it was prior to social media.

Nowadays, designers not only have to do an incredible collection, but they have to deal with all these numbers and followers. I worry about quantity versus quality. I hope designers can really survive and be supported rather than simply being a part of a huge conglomerate that has to produce billions of dollars [of revenue] and have millions of followers behind them. That’s a very big stress for people who create. We are going through a period of change. It’s a good time for small houses that make clothes; the industry might really welcome that.

Do you feel your friend Alber Elbaz’s late embrace of social media had anything to do with him leaving Lanvin?

I cannot speak for Alber. The only thing I can say is he’s probably one of the most talented designers out there who really knows clothes. He knows how to drape, how to do patterns, he can sew; he’s not a stylist, he’s a real fashion designer. We need people like that. Alber is a very talented and special person.

His career is just beginning, as far as I’m concerned.

Which other designers do you wear?

Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Lanvin, and Azzedine [Alaïa]. I’m like a dog! I always go to the same things and same people. I know what I like—I’m not that

adventurous in some ways. There are so many new artists, and I really don’t know too many of them.

In some ways, people might think that I’m elitist, but there’s nothing wrong with that. I do like Andy Warhol, [Roy] Lichtenstein, and [John] Chamberlain.

Do I really have a lot of time to follow 100 other upand-coming artists? If something comes across that catches my eye, I’m interested, but I’m not that eager to look for the next young one.

Which more contemporary artists do you collect?

Alex Israel and Jeff Elrod. I’m not saying I don’t support young artists, because of course I do, but there are so many out there that I don’t put 100 percent of my energy looking for them, because I don’t have enough time to follow the ones that I already know that I love.

How did your relationship with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) begin?

When Michael Govan moved to be the director at LACMA, I understood his vision of what he wanted to do at the museum, and thought that I may be able to contribute to what he wants to do. That’s why I joined the board [of directors]. I’m not one of those people who signs up for something and only turns up every quarter. I want to create something and be active. Six years ago, Michael asked me to do a fund raiser for

the film department. I thought that was a great idea, and I went to Leo [DiCaprio]. Not only is he a good actor, he’s very conscientious, smart, and committed to the world, whether it’s the environment or art. I thought he would be the most incredible partner. He was, and now, we’re doing it for the sixth year in a row. Besides the fact that we raise a lot of money for the museum, it exposes the city and the museum. It’s been a good endeavor.

You must be thrilled about Leo winning the Oscar.

Beyond! It’s so well deserved. He’s an amazing actor, and most importantly, his heart and his head are in the right place.

What’s a typical day like for you?

It’s busy—we just opened Mr. Chow in Vegas. Michael [Chow, Eva’s husband] has his solo show at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh. So when my husband is working hard doing a show, I help him. We are also working on the construction of the new location of Mr. Chow in Mexico City, which will open in May. Where do you lunch?

Usually, here at my house, or if I have a lunch meeting, I go to Mr. Chow or Spago. I used to go to Polo Lounge during lunch until the owner said something that wasn’t acceptable to me. Too bad, because I really loved Polo Lounge.

What do you order at Mr. Chow?

I leave it up to them, but my must is Peking duck. I

think we have the best Peking duck in the world.

Do you travel a lot throughout the year?

I travel a lot for work, friends, and vacation. I love the Ritz in Paris. There’s no place like that it the world.

I’m very partial to it, but I will say the Peninsula is not bad, either.

Your daughter, Asia, is now modeling.

She’s signed with Marilyn in Paris and New York. She did the Givenchy and David Webb campaigns, and she’s a Riccardo [Tisci] muse. She goes to Columbia.

She’s well educated.

Did you have any qualms about her modeling?

The important thing about anybody is to have a core foundation, and she certainly has that. She’s very talented and hardworking. Whatever she decides to do, I support it. At the end, she’s a musician, and that’s what she’s going to do when she graduates.

The modeling is because she happens to be very beautiful, and it’s a good way to record how you look by the eminent photographers.

What makes you happiest?

Happiness is moment to moment for me. Music makes me happy, and flowers.… I’m happiest when I’m with people I love. They know who they are.

Do you consider yourself a queen of culture?

I love culture and everything that is creative and good and gives us energy to go on. I am willing and eager to work on making culture more visible. If there’s anything I can do, I will. ß

BELLA OF THE BALL MODEL OF THE YEAR: BELLA HADID

At just 19 years old, Bella Hadid has enjoyed a sensational rookie season— gracing the Chanel runway, covering Seventeen and Allure—and she’s sharing it all with her 3 million Instagram followers.

Congrats on being our Model of the Year! Have you ever won anything before?

I rode horses when I was younger so I won awards there, but something like this is really big for me.

It’s a lot of hard work, and it’s nice to know that it’s paying off.

What are you going to say in your speech?

I’m so bad at public speaking, so I might laugh or cry.

I might have to wing it.

Are you still pursuing an Olympic run as an equestrian?

Not really. Since I started modeling, things veered in this direction. Since I’m winning this award, it shows that I went in the right direction!

No kidding! What were your professional highlights over the past year?

Walking in my first Chanel show was a dream. I was also working a lot with [LOVE editor in chief and stylist] Katie Grand, [photographers] Mert & Marcus, and Riccardo Tisci.

How did you spend Paris Fashion Week?

I was exclusive to Givenchy. Afterward, I also walked in Chanel and Miu Miu. Who do you tend to hang out with backstage?

My sister [Gigi Hadid], if she’s around. Stella Maxwell is a good friend. We always end up together. I love Lexi Boling and Binx Walton. They’re all really fun.

They’ve been doing it for awhile, so I follow their lead.

We’re honoring Karl Lagerfeld with an Icon award. What’s your favorite thing about him?

Working with him was a dream for me. You’d think

he’s not real, but once you meet him, he’s so funny and knows exactly what he’s doing. He remembers faces and knows exactly what he wants.

Does modeling still feel new to you?

I’ve been working the most in these past six or seven months. It’s crazy to me how much I’ve been working, but I feel blessed that I have the opportunity.

What was the most memorable show that you’ve walked in?

Chanel in Rome was really incredible. We were in a completely different city with only the Chanel girls.

My Givenchy exclusive was also a dream of mine. I love Riccardo.

Who have your mentors been in the industry?

Carine Roitfeld was one of the first people to put me in her magazine. To me, she’s an icon. She’s an angel.

Katie Grand has been a great mentor and supporter as well.

Jeremy Scott is presenting your award to you…

I love him to death. The first time I was really around him was probably one of my fittings for my shows.

From the outside, you’d think he’s all crazy, but he’s such a sweetheart and shy. He’s just so cute.

Which photographers would you still like to work with?

Steven Meisel and Mario Testino. There’s such a long list. I’d love to shoot with all of them!

What did it mean to cover Seventeen magazine?

It was nice because even though I’m 19, I always get portrayed in a sexier way. To be able to giggle and wear pink and red lipstick, it was a fun experience.

What are your other interests?

I got into school at Parsons for photography, which was one of my passions all through high school.

Riding horses. I love bacon, eating, and sleeping!

Those are my hobbies!

We hear you also bake…

I make a lot of cupcakes, brownies, tiramisu, crepes, maybe that’s not baking…that’s cooking! I love watching the Food Network. I make whatever I see.

What do you miss about living in L.A.?

Obviously, my family. I miss driving and being in my car and listening to music. Not having to think about anything. I’ve worked in L.A. a lot lately, which is nice because I get to go home.

What’s your style?

I was just looking at my closet and 95 percent of my closet is full of black clothes. I love leather, Creepers, Doc Martens…edgy things. I pair really random things together, but it turns out cool. I hope!

Do you plan on going back to school?

Totally. I went to Parsons for a year. Right now, I’m more focused on working, but I want to eventually go back. I loved the social aspect and learning things.

Is fashion photography in your future?

Yes. I’m learning so much from the photographers that I’m working with that I’d love to shoot editorials eventually. I have a good eye for it. I feel blessed I can learn while I’m working.

Where would you like to be in 10 years?

I don’t even know where I’m going to be tomorrow! ß

SUNSHINE STATE

—JOHN TARGON

With its distinctly West Coast aesthetic, New York City–based brand Baja East has emerged as the go-to for cool kids across the country.

Designers and best friends Scott Studenberg and John Targon, who count Lady Gaga, Miguel, and Solange Knowles as fans, have their strategy for world domination all figured out.

BY EDDIE ROCHE PHOTOGRAPHY BY GIORGIO NIRO John: All our friends ultimately overlap, but we also have different friends we each go out with on our own. We didn’t have a budget when we first started, so when we traveled, we shared a room, a bed.

We understand you rarely fight…

Scott: Well, that’s not true.

John: But our fights never last.

What kind of chemistry do you have?

Scott: We both bring a very different aesthetic. I’m more of a minimalist. We know what to fight for, but we also have to move this along, because we both want the best for what we’re doing. It’s a process, but we definitely fill each other’s voids.

John: We’re not afraid to do anything. On some days, Scott is doing more press and I’m doing more finances, but neither of us is afraid to roll up our sleeves and get something done. We’re the same ones carrying out the FedEx boxes.

When did you start to experience success?

John: From our initial launch, we felt really fortunate—so many of the world’s best stores picked us up. We haven’t taken one thing for granted— we always feel grateful and in touch with what’s happening around us.

Scott: A month after our launch, Vogue magazine featured us. We’ve had the support of press and retail from the very beginning.

You describe your brand as “gender obsolescent.” Meaning…

Scott: When we were developing our brand and coming up with our own samples to wear out, I would have my Lanvin sneakers on and a python pair of shirts, and wear a Moroccan Jalabiya that I had cut in half, and tucked it in to my shirts.

Guys and girls alike wanted to wear that look.

We were like, “Why does this have to be men’s or women’s?” Anything that you see on a guy in

our collection can definitely go on a woman.

John: Our collection wasn’t androgynous.

Scott: Never androgynous, because when a woman puts on the clothes she looks feminine, and when a guy puts on the clothes he feels masculine.

Long-term plans?

Scott: We want to be a very big luxury brand and a household name—a Céline or a Lanvin. In our inception, from training and school, we set out to do that. We eventually want shoes, bags, fragrance, home, bedding, etc.

John: We want to be mega-big but still feel very much “us.” We eventually want our own retail stores in New York and Los Angeles.

Congrats on your emerging designer honor.

John: It feels pretty awesome. We are so proud. It’s an incredible honor. We’re stoked!

Scott: There’s no way we thought that Lady Gaga would be calling us to make her cashmere coats to the floor…and she would actually pay for them! ß BAJA EAST FALL 2016 COLLECTION

EMERGING DESIGNERS: BAJA EAST

How did you meet?

Scott Studenberg: We met and became friends working out at an Equinox abs class in New York— we’d go get Mexican food afterward. We were around 19 or 20 years old, so we were obviously underage drinking and could eat anything.

Those were the days! Do people always assume that you’re a couple?

Scott: They always assume we’re from the West Coast, and yes, they also always assume we’re a couple.

John Targon: For sure!

Why are you mistaken for West Coasters?

Scott: We’re so relaxed! [Laughs] We just bring the sun wherever we go.

John: The name Baja does originate from that vibe; that is a part of what we do. Until the last two seasons, our collection was full of blues and bright, happy, ocean-y vibes. We’ve taken it a bit more to the street with our color palette this season—a little earthy here and there—but it always feels very happy and bright.

How so?

John: We always wanted the collection to feel like a vacation, one where you don’t only dress for the beach—you could dress up our pieces for a cocktail party. It was the idea of relaxed luxury. You could be jet-set, take six or eight pieces, and fill your whole wardrobe with us.

Where did you get your start in the industry?

John: I went to Parsons; Scott went to FIT. Scott: I worked at [Manhattan restaurant] Bond Street for more than three years as lounge manager.

I was also in school, but I hated it. I just wanted to work. I would take side jobs. I worked in production, casting, styling. I tried everything. Then I worked at W magazine, as the assistant bookings editor, and I was women’s wholesale director at Lanvin.

You live together and you share your work space in your apartment. Are you on top of each other 24/7?

Scott: Yes, unless we’re not. If I’m on a date with someone, John’s not there.

STYLE TO THE MAXWELL BEST DESIGNER DEBUT: BRANDON MAXWELL

Stylist-turned-designer Brandon Maxwell has worked with everyone from Edward Enninful and Nicola Formichetti to Inez & Vinoodh and Steven Klein. His most famous collaborator? Close friend Lady Gaga, who is also a steadfast supporter of his new eponymous ready-to-wear collection.

How did you land your first styling gig?

I moved to New York with $10,000. I was eating at my local bodega and living in an apartment an hour outside of the city. I would e-mail every agency and ask them to give me a job. I told them I would sweep the floors if they wanted me to. If they had a stylist that needed a third or even a 10th intern, I wanted to be there. Deborah Afshani finally called and said she need an assistant the next day, and I’m pretty sure I googled “How to be an assistant.” [Laughs] She really taught me a lot of things.

Who else did you work with?

I did ad jobs working for Edward Enninful, who is one of the smartest, kindest, and funniest people.

I was just a second assistant with a fanny pack, but I observed a lot about how he treated people. Then I started working full-time with Nicola Formichetti.

How did you make the leap from the world of styling to design?

Inez & Vinoodh were the ones who first told me to do this, and Nicola was really the one who helped me plan everything. He and Gaga sat me down at Milk Studios one September and Nicola said, “You need to start going out on your own in December. Here’s the plan, and here’s how I’ll help you.” And he did. I felt so lucky seeing them three years later at my first show.

Your show at Monkey Bar was very intimate.

Will you be able to maintain that kind of atmosphere going forward?

I think so; I don’t know if I’ll ever be comfortable showing to 400 people. It doesn’t work with my clothes, which are mostly black and white, with a lot of detail.

Any plans to incorporate more color?

I’m going one season at a time at this point. I spend a lot of time making the clothes by hand—draping them, and fitting them on the woman. Black is my favorite color, and the focus is on the trims, details, and construction. I’m a very emotional designer—I create alone, with music, and the colors really reflect how I’m feeling. Maybe next season, I’ll be in a different mentality, and that might be in color.

Where did you learn tailoring?

I did not attend a traditional fashion school.

I’ve been working as a stylist now for seven years, and in styling, tailoring and fit is the most important element. I also grew up in a store that my grandmother ran, and I was there every day after school. I spent a lot of years being around women who were fitted for dresses and suits. I’m a Virgo, so I’m a perfectionist. That’s how I’ve always approached the design process.

What was your concept behind the collection?

I always wanted to create a uniform for women at this price point that could be worn 10 or 20 times. My sister is at that age where she’s going to weddings, and for a young working woman, a $1,200 dress should be worn a lot. I’m always thinking, “What’s a little black dress that has something extra?”

What do your family and friends back in Texas think of your success?

They are so excited for me, and they are the reason I do what I do. I’m really proud to be from Texas. My sister is always here with me days before the show, so I get her opinion all the way through.

You’ve started selling at Bergdorf Goodman.

The first woman who came in bought nine pieces! It was the EARLY ADOPTERS Kate Hudson, Iman, Lady Gaga, and Zendaya are among the top talents who have worn looks from Maxwell’s first two collections. first time I had ever seen the clothes in a store. It was a really exhilarating feeling to see the women buying the clothes. I worked on the tailoring with each of them, because that’s a key component of the brand.

Both of my parents were there to see it.

What did you learn about your clients?

When we started, I really wanted to dress everyone from the granddaughter to the grandmother, and that day, we did that. I learned that women

just want to feel special when they are shopping; I hope that our clothes make them feel that way.

You still manage to style. How do you keep up with the stamina that your double career demands?

I have first and foremost a great team. I could never do it without them. I never approach my work like I’m tired and stressed out, because I’ve been dreaming of doing this my whole life. The fact that I am able to go to L.A. for the Grammys and style Lady Gaga, and the next day, do my own show in New York, is all a dream come true!

Do you hope to continue styling and designing?

They both feed my soul in very different ways, and I hope I get to continue to do both.

You are a finalist for the LVMH Prize. What would it mean to you to win?

I started this company with my own money, and then my dad, who is the CEO, invested in the company, and we run it together. What we do in our brand is very expensive—it is done by hand. The LVMH Prize would mean two things for me: Financially, it would mean quite a bit, and to be in the room with all the people I’ve admired my entire life…I would probably fall over and have a heart attack.

What have you learned from styling that you’ve brought into your collection?

I have so many years of experience working with incredible designers and working closely with them on custom pieces; I’ve assisted some of the best editors in the world and met so many incredible people who taught me so much. Those great people helped me get this off the ground. In terms of the aesthetic for the brand, I do love a dramatic moment, which you can see toward the end of my shows.

Who was the first celebrity to wear your clothing?

Gaga, of course. She wore one of my dresses to the Emmys. But Gwyneth Paltrow was also a major moment for me. It happened in the middle of the night when I was in Paris, right after the first collection. She wore one of my designs to Variety’s Power of Women luncheon, which was amazing, because she was a reference for me growing up.

Gwyneth’s pink Ralph Lauren gown at the Oscars was engraved in my memory. We actually added that pink in the show—I kept saying, “We need Gwyneth Paltrow pink.” It was so funny and serendipitous when she wore one of my pieces that my whole body was in shock. Since then Reese Witherspoon, Uma Thurman, Kristen Wiig, Iman, Mariah Carey, Kate Hudson, and Zendaya have worn my designs.

Do you have a favorite Hollywood moment?

When I went to the Oscars as Gaga’s date three years ago. She always knew that was my dream. We sat in the front row, right by Whoopi Goldberg, Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, and Jared Leto. I’ll never forget it. ß

THE RICHIE RECIPE CHIC EMCEE: NICOLE RICHIE

Okay, it isn’t exactly an “award,” per se, but Nicole Richie’s podium prowess is a force of nature. As one of the original tastemakers behind Los Angeles’ style renaissance, this hometown icon both wears fashion and designs it with gusto. The style maven and House of Harlow designer explains the city’s eternal appeal.

You’re behind one of the major fashion brands that has made L.A. such a style capital. How have you seen it evolve over your career?

It’s funny—you’re hearing more and more people talk about how much they love L.A., and I kind of sit in the background, thinking to myself, Well, I’ve told you this from the beginning. I feel like the old grandma on 227 who has known this all along. I personally love L.A. I love the space, I love that there’s green around me.… L.A is so spread out that you can have different versions of it. I work downtown a lot, so that’s a part of my life, but I live in the hills, so I get to hike and be out of it in the mornings. There are so many different parts about L.A. The weather’s nice, the food is good, and for me, it’s an overall inspiring place.

Any favorite spots?

I love driving down Mulholland and listening to the same song 30 times in a row. For me, that’s kind of like a meditation. There’s nobody on the road, and you’re kind of out of it. I can roam the streets and do the turns and take myself out of reality for a minute.

There are so many beautiful parts of L.A. I love the hills, and I personally love the valley, which a lot of people aren’t on board with. But I’m telling you, it’s the jam.

What’s happening at House of Harlow?

We moved into tech! We did a partnership with Best Buy on phone cases. We’re still doing jewelry, and I have another exciting collaboration coming up in the apparel space.

How do you divide your time among all the different things you’re working on?

House of Harlow is where I spend most of my days.

That’s what I’m doing consistently every single day, because the calendar doesn’t stop. That’s where I’m putting most of my everyday focus, and then I sprinkle in other things whenever I can.

How do you hope to grow the business?

Ultimately, I imagine it as a lifestyle brand, so I’d love to move into home and kids. For me, House of Harlow is really a place where I can celebrate being

an individual, and share my love for the ’60s and the ’70s, and the freedom of that time, as well as the music and movement. It gets me really excited.

Is there a particular woman in mind when you’re designing the collections?

I try not to pigeonhole it to a specific girl, but I would imagine that the House of Harlow girl is well-traveled, she’s a free spirit, she likes to celebrate life and have fun and not pay attention to the rules and what she’s told to do—not necessarily meaning that she’s a rebel, but she’s comfortable in who she is.

You’re really vocal about your friendships. How are they important to you in your work life?

Because I did grow up in L.A., most of my friends have been my friends since we were 2 years old, or 10, or we met when we were teenagers. I have this group of friends that has been in my life for a very long time, and we’ve gone and done different things in our lives. Some of my friends are in entertainment; some are not necessarily directly in the entertainment industry but do things on the outside that are on some level linked to it. Katherine Power is a perfect example. She runs Who What Wear. We don’t do the same thing, but her business helps me, and it’s really important that I understand the business of social media and being online. It’s really nice, because I have these people who are very safe people to me that I can turn to and talk to about different areas of my business, and they do the same for me. That’s really important, especially in a business like this, because there are so many different ways to go about creating your own brand.

Which is awesome, by the way, that there’s not one way to do it anymore. There’s no locked-in formula.

It’s definitely really nice to have people I can sit and bounce ideas off of, and feel that they have my best interests at heart.

Jennifer Meyer is winning our Jewelry Designer of the Year award. How did you two meet?

I’ve known her since…I can’t even remember. Our parents are friends, and we kind of grew up together.

I’ve been wearing her jewelry for years. We’ve had many stages of friendship, and we became moms around the same time, that developed to a new level.

I love her. And I love her as a jewelry designer—she has a deep-rooted aesthetic, and it’s really true to who she is. That’s something I really, really respect.

I’m very proud of her.

You’re very funny, as anyone who’s seen you on TV can attest. Who or what makes you laugh?

I love to laugh. I love crying from laughter, every single day. It definitely happens to me at least once a day. I definitely find things funny that other people don’t. I find my friends really funny. For me, I love being around my girlfriends. I love when they make fun of me, and we make fun of each other. Weirdly, when I watch TV, I like dramas. I don’t watch a lot of comedy TV shows. But as far as movies, I’ll watch Tina Fey or Amy Poehler at any moment.

How is social media useful to you?

Social media is a great way to promote whatever you need to go out there and promote. If it’s used the right way, I can use it as a platform to show my inspirations, what’s exciting me, what projects I’m working on.… It’s definitely a good way to take back your voice, and not rely on other people to say what you’re about. I’m new to Snapchat, and it’s so fun. I like Snapchatting videos of my chickens and putting bows on their heads afterward. I don’t necessarily know if that’s doing anything for my business, but it’s doing something for me on a personal level.

You recently appeared on RuPaul’s Drag Race.

How was it?

We shot it so long ago, and they are so top-secret that I almost forgot I even did it. It was so much fun.

My hair and makeup teams were the ones who were like, “You have to go on this show—it’s so important.”

When you’re on set, they give you a tour, and it’s like walking through a museum. There’s such an art to everything they do. It’s so cool to watch them transform themselves—I’m still learning to draw on my eyebrows! ß

The proverbial red lip got a much-needed (and subtly retro) makeover with designers from every city opting for deeper wine-inspired shades.

Using a full spectrum of rich berries and deep plums, makeup artists nodded to sirens of Hollywood’s golden age while referencing the ’90s trend, which continued to reverberate on the runways.

Outlining the lip using a dark burgundy pencil adds precision, allowing you to contour and define the lip while preventing any smudging.

Glitter, crystals, shimmer—any form of sparkle was welcomed this season. Lids were encrusted with silver, gold, and beyond, adding a much-needed festive feel to the wintery collections.

But why wait? This is one inspiration that will work for all seasons.

Add a layer of shadow base primer before applying liner or shadow to ensure the color blends evenly.

Why use only mascara when you can create extra impact with lash-like designs with eyeliner as well? This technique was seen at myriad shows, while other makeup artists took the idea even further, creating slashes of sharp lines on both the top and bottom of lids.

REVOLVE REVOLUTION How did you end up in the fashion industry?

Michael Mente: We don’t have fashion backgrounds—we were in tech. We started REVOLVE in 2003 after realizing that people were starting to search online for fashion, and especially jeans. We were looking for things to sell on e-commerce, and a friend suggested the jeans that Jennifer Aniston wore on Friends—7 for All Mankind. Hollywood, fashion, and celebrity are so intertwined in L.A., so we were able to understand trends, which influenced the REVOLVE aesthetic.

What’s REVOLVE’s fashion story?

Mente: We were a little hesitant to identify ourselves with L.A. fashion because we thought it lacked a certain credibility—it was the time of Juicy tracksuits and Von Dutch hats, which we ended up carrying because they were relevant. And L.A. was viewed as a denim world. Now, our customer is focused on complete looks.

L.A. is very influenced by the runways, and vice versa. The world has become more integrated in terms of high fashion and mass because of social media.

What are the most memorable trends you’ve carried?

Mente: Definitely the Von Dutch hats! A couple of years ago, wedge sneakers were all the rage, from Isabel Marant to athletic brands like Puma. It’s interesting to see how trends evolve and hit mass quickly.

Why work with digital influencers and bloggers rather than take the traditional advertising route?

Michael Karanikolas: Fifteen years ago, the major influence in the fashion world was fashion publications, which were largely New York–based. Of course, New York is still the U.S. fashion capital, but today many people’s fashion is informed by the blogger world. A magazine like Vogue might have a circulation of around 2 million, but a blogger like Chiara Ferragni has more than 5 million followers on Instagram, and a lot of the top bloggers are based out of the L.A. area.

3

Mente: And models, too. In the past, model recognition was reserved for those on the runways and magazine covers. Now, some are Internet famous before they’re industry famous, and have huge social followings. We also had to keep up with the shift in the customer. Millennials are shopping online. That might be obvious, but it’s still not completely embraced by the industry. The first time we ever worked with a blogger was in 2008. It was when Rumi Neely was still known as [her blog name] Fashion Toast. She was local and she had style, but she developed her own audience and exposed our brand.

What made you stay in tech after you watched the dot-com bubble burst?

Karanikolas: Being on the inside of the industry helped give us perspective. We saw a lot of the problems at the time: excess, too much hype, not enough focus on fundamentals, and trying to grow too fast. That gave us the confidence to go about it in the right way.

How have you stayed in the game?

Mente: Every decision that we make is driven by what we think the customer is going to like. I think that might be different from some other fashion businesses.

How do you know what customers want?

Mente: From user testing and constant surveys with our consumers. We read every single piece of feedback. On the fashion side, we have complex systems to constantly analyze, project, and provide data to our buying and merchandising teams.

Who’s in charge of spotting the trends?

Mente: It’s a diverse team of 30 to 40 people; we have talented leadership, a broad buying team, and a strong analytics team.

Was it always that way?

Mente: In the beginning, we were developing the analytic systems and had to

Michael Karanikolas and Michael Mente (aka The Mikes) were on the e-tail scene before it evolved into e-tail as we know it. Since its launch in 2003, REVOLVE has grown to become a leader of the L.A. fashion pack.

identify people on the team who were smart, hardworking, and who lived the lifestyle of our customer. As we learned to trust and empower them, it helped transform our business.

How do you know when a trend is fading?

Mente: That’s where our analytical background helps; it’s easy for us to identify when the acceleration of a trend has ceased to exist, even when it appears a trend is still going strong. It’s that combined with our team’s natural instinct— there’s a science and art to defining when the market will be saturated with a trend or when our core customer will no longer be excited by it.

Who is the REVOLVE customer?

Karanikolas: This is always a fun question. [Laughs] The words we use are young, fun, trendy, sexy, and she tends to be social and have a vibrant personality and style.

How are people shopping online today?

Karanikolas: There’s been a huge shift toward mobile versus desktop, toward apps versus websites. Our customers used to shop our site by brand. As we’ve gained the consumer’s trust over time and as our brand has strengthened, the majority of customers are shopping by category or what’s newest.

Which brands does REVOLVE own, and are you looking to scoop up others?

Mente: We started the brand called Lovers + Friends, and then we launched Tularosa and NBD. We also have Privacy Please, L’Academie, and shoe line Raye.

We sell a lot from these brands to our competitors—Shopbop, Nordstrom, Saks, Neiman’s, Bloomingdale’s, and Intermix. We have some others in the works, and we’re always looking for new designers who need help to bring their fashion vision to life. It’s so challenging to start a fashion brand from scratch and manage the creative, operational, production, and finance parts. We have a great platform for emerging designers.

Tell us about FORWARD by Elyse Walker.

Mente: It’s the part of our business that’s focused on the true designer market, like Saint Laurent and Givenchy. That’s about 20 percent of our business, but a

quickly growing segment that competes more with the likes of Net-A-Porter. It infuses that L.A. fashion aesthetic at the designer price point.

And your men’s market is expanding…

Mente: Dudes, just like girls, want to express themselves in the way they dress now more than ever. Our male customer is no longer satisfied with going to the mall and buying whatever—he’s more knowledgeable and fashion savvy. He’ll come to us for what’s new. That’s a huge long-term opportunity.

You’re based in Cerritos. Why not the heart of L.A.?

Mente: I bought a house in Cerritos, and we started the business there. Nine months in, it was overrun with boxes, racks, and clothes, so we got a warehouse down the street. We built a team and slowly grew the company, and have moved to bigger warehouses. Today we’re in 160,000 square feet about a quarter mile from our original 3,000-square-foot office. We also have a design studio of 60 people in downtown L.A. for REVOLVE-owned brands, and we’re in the process of opening a marketing PR showroom in West Hollywood. We’re exploring opportunities in New York as well. Our heart and soul are in Cerritos, but to have a global reach, we’ll have people everywhere.

What else will we see from REVOLVE? Mente: We have a couple of awesome clothing lines that are still in the development phase. They’ll launch in the next year. That’s really important to us; develop good product first. ß

BOULEVARD BOYS

Talk about a power couple—Joey Gonzalez, CEO of Barry’s Bootcamp, and Jonathan Rullo, founder of Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop, are taking over Hollywood Boulevard one leg lift and specialty salad at a time. The duo, who recently welcomed a baby daughter and each opened a Hollywood outpost, certainly have a lot to discuss.

BY KRISTEN HEINZINGER PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA SAMPLE

How’s the CEO role at Barry’s going?

Joey Gonzalez: It’s going well—my life has gotten much more sustainable, because I’ve been able to hire a talented infrastructure. I have a CFO, a VP of real estate, and a director of retail. It’s great to have more support and be able to focus on the bigger picture.

Do you still teach classes?

Joey: I have one regular class at Hollywood, and I’ll do guest spots and sub. With my workload and a new baby, that’s about as much as I can do. I was a client, then a trainer, and then manager/operator, and finally CEO. I understand it from so many different angles.

How is fatherhood treating you both?

Jonathan Rullo: It’s awesome! It’s so fun to see how our daughter reacts to everything.

How did you two meet?

Jonathan: We were set up through a mutual friend. I was taking his class, and it went from there.

Do you remember that class?

Jonathan: Oh, yeah! When we were doing pushups, [Joey] came over and picked up my feet so it was harder to do. I was like, I have to impress this guy!

Joey, how’d he do?

Joey: The instructors joke that the most attractive student is the one who is equally strong and fast.

John was the fastest in the class and had the biggest weights. He was the first student I ever dated.

Jonathan: And the last! [Laughs] What are people wearing to class in Hollywood?

Joey: People are buying and loving the Barry’s stuff. One of our goals was to design our own brand. Now, about 80 percent of what we carry is Barry’s. We do so many different things in the class, from sprinting to lunging to planks. We could sense that our students wanted apparel to complement the workout.

What’s the design process like?

Joey: We collect photos and pieces off the runway for inspiration. We have a graphic production department and a graphic artist, and every piece is screen-printed. The current collection is called the Midas Touch—every piece involves something gold.

Our next one is Leather and Lace, which has fun designs, like peekaboo lace down the sides.

Will you continue to collaborate with designers?

Joey: Definitely! It’s so fun to work with artists. We’re doing a collection this summer with Julia Clancey of mostly lifestyle pieces called Resort Luxe.

And what’s new at Greenleaf Gourmet Chopshop?

Jonathan: We opened a year ago, and to be part of the new wave of restaurants and lifestyle businesses is exciting. When I was growing up in L.A., Hollywood was a strange no-man’s-land. Families would run into Hollywood, go to the Pantages Theatre, and leave as fast as they could. Now it’s a great destination.

What’s the scene like on Hollywood Boulevard?

Joey: It’s awesome! It’s been branded as this lifestyle, health, and fitness center.

What celebs and movie stars have you spotted at this Barry’s location?

Joey: A lot...Juliette Lewis comes regularly, Naomi Campbell, Adriana Lima, Katie Holmes, Jake Gyllenhaal, Elizabeth Olsen.

Who are frequent celebrity diners at Greenleaf?

Jonathan: Jon Favreau, Michelle Monaghan, Teri Hatcher... We have incredible loyalty from the nearby studios. Casts come as teams or we send food.

How do you manage the tourists?

Jonathan: We make sure [the celebrities’] experience is excellent, just as everyone else’s. We have a strict social media policy—I don’t want customers disturbing their experience. A lot of celebrities have become big clients for personal events, partly because they know we take care of them that way.

Joey: And there’s a nice back room, if they’re not looking to be highly visible. Barry’s has had a celebrity following for so long so clients are used to it. Our classes are darker, so they can have anonymity. I had Justin [Timberlake] and Jessica [Biel] take my class and was able to get them in and out without anyone noticing. It’s nice to be able to have that.

And what about your next project, Au Fudge?

Jonathan: Joey and I partnered with Jessica and a few other women to open a family-friendly restaurant, Au Fudge, in West Hollywood. It’s very much where our lives are headed.

Joey: Nobody has titles; we refer to each other as OGs. Estee Stanley is the brains behind the creative.

Jon and I always said we wanted to have a business together. This is a meaningful addition to our work and personal lives. Who better to do it with than Jessica Biel, who’s one of our best friends?

What are some hot items on the Au Fudge and Greenleaf menus?

Jonathan: Some of the most interesting at Au Fudge are our vegan Caesar and vegan burger. At Greenleaf, one of my favorites is the turkey melt. We built our business on our salad, so those are cult classics.

This Barry’s location is the largest on the West Coast—what’s inside?

Joey: It embraces the bones of the building. It’s more modern with a lot of industrial concrete floors and exposed ceilings. The studio is totally unobstructed— there are no columns, making it easy as an instructor to see every person. And the lighting package is different and on a bigger scale.

Are Barry’s and Greenleaf connected?

Jonathan: We face each other, which is really fun. We have a group of friends who now do Joey’s Barry’s class on Sundays and walk across the hall to Greenleaf for brunch. We call it Barry’s and brunch. ß

HAUTEProperty

THE KLEIN FACTOR Ten years ago, hospitality magnate Jeff Klein officially reinvented the iconic Sunset Tower Hotel. We checked in with the ex–New Yorker to both reminisce and look forward.

BY EDDIE ROCHE PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA SAMPLE

COURTESY

How did this place fall into your lap?

I’ve always been in the hotel business, and my former business partner [Peter Krulewitch] told me there was a building for sale in L.A. that we could get really cheap. I didn’t want to be in L.A. or even schlep out here, but I did, and I fell in love with the place. At the time, it was The Argyle hotel. They couldn’t give it away.

What condition was it in?

Rooms were $99 a night, and so dumpy. This building was built in 1929, and it has incredible history. It was really beautiful and glamorous when Howard Hughes

“SOMEHOW, THE PLANETS HAVE ALIGNED FOR THIS PROPERTY. IT’S THE LOCATION, THE FACADE OF THE BUILDING, DIMITRI, THE DESIGN… MAYBE EVEN I PLAY INTO IT.” —JEFF KLEIN

and Bugsy Siegel lived here. John Wayne lived in what is now the spa! By the ’70s, it became a derelict building, because Sunset Boulevard was part of the beatnik culture. I have pictures of the building with windows broken; there were squatters living here.

They were going to tear down the building, but it became a historical landmark. It was finally opened up as a private club in the late ’80s. The décor was tacky, and they eventually went bankrupt. An Asian investor bought it, and he couldn’t make money, and then I bought it.

What was your vision?

I knew right away it should be a younger and cooler West Coast version of the Carlyle. Everybody thought I was crazy.

Why? At the time, places that had super trendy nightclubs in the lobby were working. They didn’t think that Los Angeles was sophisticated enough for this kind of product. I wish I was smart enough to say I knew it was, but I didn’t. I was young and stupid. I could have lost everything, so I’m happy that it worked out.

How did you bring the place back to its original glory?

The exterior of the building is historically protected, so I didn’t touch that. I hired the designer Paul Fortune, who did Marc Jacobs’ apartments in Paris and New York. Marc was very fond of him. Paul has great taste, and he was the absolute right choice. He gave it his heart and soul.

The Tower Bar is now a regular haunt of the

A-list. What kind of place did you aim to create?

Hotels often get their personalities from their restaurants. I wanted the Tower Bar to be super sophisticated but never too formal or fancy. Last night, Bruce Weber was there in his jeans and T-shirt with a bandana on his head because he feels completely comfortable. The first year was a constant battle as I tried to make it casual chic. [Storied maître d’] Dimitri [Dimitrov] was very fancy. Like an old-school maître d’. You almost picture him with a napkin on his arm.

He came to you through Tom Ford?

Tom and Mitch Glazer both recommended him. He was the maître d’ of this really weird caviar house, where there were, like, four tables and he had a staff of 20 queens behind him, and he’d snap his finger and two would walk out and pull out your chair. It was almost like a Monty Python movie. Dimitri got to know a lot of Hollywood’s inner circle there. Even though there were only four tables, they would be filled by people like Tom Ford and Tom Cruise. Those relationships have ended up becoming very important here. People always say the Tower Bar is like a rich person’s Cheers. You always know a lot of people in the room.

Why do famous people feel so comfortable here?

We’re super private, so that helps, but it’s a combination of 1,000 things. Somehow, the planets have aligned for this property. It’s the location, the facade of the building, Dimitri, the design…maybe even I play into it.

What do the customers adore about Dimitri?

He’s so welcoming and hospitable and sweet to 80 percent of the people. But if he doesn’t like you, he doesn’t like you, even if you’re famous. Mostly, he’s not nice to people if they aren’t nice to him or the staff.

You hosted the Vanity Fair Oscar party here for five years.

It was so great. It totally put us on the map. We were an insidery thing before, which is probably why Vanity Fair wanted to do the party here. But once they came, boom! There was international publicity. It was wonderful for us.

Do you ever get starstruck?

It sounds so cheesy, but I see movie stars here all

the time, so of course seeing Leonardo DiCaprio is impressive, but it’s the more unexpected customers who excite me. The last time I was impressed was when Lisa Vanderpump came in. I was like, “Oh, my God! Oh, my God! I’m wearing the totally wrong outfit.” The day before Lisa came in, Brad and Angelina were doing an interview with NBC News in their suite.

They’ve been here before, but I didn’t go say hello or bother them. But when Lisa came, I introduced myself and told her that I love both of her shows.

Have you been to [Vanderpump’s West Hollywood restaurant] Pump?

Of course! Caitlyn Jenner is another one I get excited about. I like her!

Any paparazzi moments over the years that have been memorable?

We have great security. We’re very protective. We make it difficult for the paparazzi to get in. We put umbrellas in front of their faces, which is legal. We don’t want to become “that” place. That’s my fear.

Celebrities get so much swag. How do you make them feel special?

I don’t give anything for free, and I think they like that.

Making them feel welcome is important, but also not like you are begging them to come.

When is your next hospitality project, the San Vicente Bungalows, going to open?

Probably in two years. We’re going to close down for construction probably in June, and we’re going to reopen as a very high-end hotel and restaurant. It’s full of super-cute bungalows that were built in the 1800s.

There will be a bar and screening room.

What kind of restaurant?

There’s a lot of outdoor space with an outdoor grill and rotisserie, so it will have a wood-burning oven and a Mediterranean menu.

What’s next for Sunset Tower?

In the next year or so, we’re going to be doing lots of refreshing. We are taking down the ceiling in the Terrace Room, so there is more indoor/outdoor availability, which will be great, because everybody loves outdoor space. We’re going to be replacing a lot of the furniture. I’m also refreshing some of the rooms. It will still feel the same, just fresh and new. I’m constantly fine-tuning the Tower Bar, but I can’t touch it, because people would rebel!

Have you always been so detail-oriented?

I started as a bellman and worked myself up in the hotel business, and that’s part of the recipe. We’re focused on service and delivering a great experience.

There are a lot of people who own hotels, but I am a hotelier. I mean that humbly. I work. I come here every day to make sure that everything is working well. ß

Ray Garcia is making some of the tastiest tacos in all of Los Angeles.

(We’re partial to the carnitas, served with a side of duritos, but that’s just us). Is the non-GMO heirloom corn masa to credit? Perhaps! While you’re at it, make sure to enjoy a cocktail by Michael Lay, especially the holy mole, made with mescal, crème de cacao, lime, cardamom, and habanero.

This crowd-pleaser from Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo (of meat mecca Animal and fish-centric hot spot Son of a Gun) is known for its pizza, meatballs, and dipping sauces. At breakfast, try the bomboloni and date scones.

The 86-seat fine-dining flagship of the Northern California butcher shop slash farm is Santa Monica’s go-to spot for grab-and-go meals, as well as prime cuts of choice. But the Belcampo cheeseburger, made with grafton cheddar on bread bar brioche, is best served at the table, and enjoyed along with one of the expertly crafted cocktails.
