GRANDMASTER RECORDERS RESTAURANT / 1518 CAHUENGA BLVD. LOS ANGELES / 6 NOVEMBER
NAME: Drew Cockrell
OCCUPATION: Stylist Extraordinaire
SUM OF THE PARTS: “These vintage Louis Vuitton glasses are from 2012, got them from a vintage dealer. The necklace is also vintage, it’s Lanvin – I bought it on Beverly Blvd in Burbank. Reyvon bought this jacket for me from Wasteland for a music video – it’s Burberry. Pants are vintage. Belt is Escada.’ (which does not make menswear) “It was worn by Gaga. Now I own it. Bag is Prada, shoes: Escada.
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “My philosophy is mix and match. Eclectic flamboyance.”
NUGGETS of i-CANDY:
Why does Drew remind me so much of a new romantic Oscar Wilde? That’s a gigantic compliment, by the way. He has nothing to declare but his fabulousness. If you don’t see it, you’re blind or boring. Or both.
i-CANDY RATING: Drew’s a bestseller. Not an author. He knows how to sell it. A look, I mean.
NAME: Randi Molofsky
OCCUPATION: Vintage clothing collector and owner of the LA/NY jewelry showroom “For Future Reference”
SUM OF THE PARTS: “I’m almost always in vintage, but tonight I wanted to wear something Wolk Morais – I wanted it to do a lot of texture mixed with some fitted things and some oversized thing. I love this flared Wolk Morais sequin skirt and bustier – it’s two pieces. The jacket brings it down from all the texture. The shoes are Chanel. The jewelry is a mix of vintage pieces and some by my clients.”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “For me, it’s a mixture of texture and patterns. Whether that’s the handbag, the accessories, there has to be a mix somewhere. I don’t like anything one note – that’s my main thing. And this: if I’m going to a fashion event, my look starts with the clothes. If I’m going to a jewelry event, it starts with the jewelry. It always starts with the event.”
NUGGETS of I CANDY: Randi is one of L.A.s true OG fashionistas: meaning, she has very own iconic style. This lady doesn’t just have an eye. She has x-ray specs. And she wisely leaves the hair and makeup pretty understated, so as not to compete with the rest of her look.
i-CANDY RATING: For one of the most stylish women in Los Angeles – if not the world – Randi has earned a crate of Vosges Haut Chocolat – the U.S. originated fine luxury chocolate brand.
NAME: Megan Duffy
OCCUPATION:“Actress and music video director. Tyler, the cinematographer on the Wolk Morais film, is a good friend.”
SUM OF THE PARTS: “I’m wearing a vintage gown that I picked up in New York eight years ago. I think it’s a 1990’s piece. It looks very 1940’s, I think. So do my shoes. But they’re Jessica Simpson! Gucci necklace and shoes.”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “Tyler said the fashion film they made paid homage to the 1940’s, so I wanted to conjure that. Just to be on theme. Most of the time, I like to mix modern and vintage. I love that store What Goes Around Comes Around. That’s my fashion fusion.”
NUGGETS OF CANDY: Megan, Ms. Teacup, knows herself/her own vibe well. She’s the perfect retro channeler. I love when people identify with a different time and own it. I utterly relate to that.
i-CANDY RATING: TEN NESTLE’S CRUNCH BARS: Ten Dots Gum Drops – from the 1940’s. Relevant, right?
NAME: Rey Von Miller
OCCUPATION:Singer
SUM OF THE PARTS: A beaded two-piece black pajama with silver studs look by the brand pronounced “God” –its name is spelled GCDs. Somethin’ a little Wolk Morais inspired – my friend’s coming in a while with a Wolk jacket so I can change – do a double take! I just love WM’s suiting – to be honest, I wasn’t a huge suit wearer till I met Wolk Morais. Honest. They turned me! They’re so good, their suits make me feel good and confident. The glittery shoes are Louboutin” (tk, famous style).
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “My style is connected to my music. I want my image and how I look to represent my music and the vibe that I put off, to make me feel comfortable to perform. If I throw on something good – okay, I’m ready now. It’s an extension of the music. And you have to have fun too! It depends on your mood – I’m kind of a mood dresser. But you can even make sweats look cute – it’s all about the vibe you’re. As Rupaul says, “We’re all born naked and the rest is drag.”
i-CANDY RATING: Ten peppermint Lifesavers – to go with those shiny studs.
NAME: Maryam Malakpour
OCCUPATION: Creative director and super stylist; a longtime client is Keith Richard.
SUM OF THE PARTS:Kickass dark magenta print herringbone Wolk Morais suit, with unique cropped flared pants: The studded bag is vintage Thomas Wylde by Paula Thomas. “It’s good protection, too.” Long earrings are vintage Saint Laurent. Shoes are Celine. (the Hedi Slimane Celine)
STYLE PHILOSOPHY:
“Am I a suit girl? I didn’t used to be. But Brian (Wolk) and Claude (Morais) are friends, so I get to wear their amazing suits. Good thing I’m sample size! I often find myself thinking, ‘What about that dress?’ Then I say – nah! So I’m gonna own it. I’m now a suit girl. If it’s Wolk Morais. Whatever they tell me to wear, I’ll wear. My ultimate fashion philosophy is: classic. With a rock n’ roll twist. I can’t deny it. Even if I try to go different!’
NUGGETS OF CANDY: Maryam is being extremely modest. Not only is she one of the coolest girls in L.A., she’s one its best dressed. Always. She’s the first person I ever saw wearing Balenciaga jeans.
i-CANDY RATING: Ten sharp edged Christmas cookies – because they are so well and carefully cut – with a sprinkle – a twinkle – of sugary stuff.
NAME:Alex Lee-Aillón
OCCUPATION: Fashion model, content creator, unofficial book club leader, nutritional science and dietetics student (at an accredited university…obviously!) , mother of Chiweenies, and fluent in Spanish and sarcasm.
SUM OF THE PARTS: I was dressed by the creative force, Claude Morais and Brian Wolk in head to (almost) toe Wolk Morais. I completed the look with a pair of stunning silver heels from Amara London. Claude originally wanted me to wear this gorgeous short black dress but I’ve noticed that as the weather has gotten colder and more gloomy, I tend to wear more muted or dark colors. That being said, I opted for this electric and vibrant hot pink set which gave me the pop of color I desired. I felt like a doll in this look!
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: Fashion should be playful, laid-back, and above all- impeccable. Definitely mix it up and strive for that effortless “I’m trying but I’m not trying too hard” look.
i-CANDY RATING: Jaw dropping/sexy. She gets 25 jawbreakers in bright colors of course.
NAME: Carlton DeWoody
OCCUPATION:Artist and design director
SUM OF THE PARTS: “The glasses, I think they’re called Shady Spex, they’re cheap. So chic for twenty five bucks. The fuzzy yellow sweater is by Beans. Aether tan desert boots. This thin wool shirt is by a British company – I think James Bond wears these shirts.”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: It’s mix and match, break the rules: I’m wearing a black belt and blue navy pants. There’s this Italian term – ‘Sprezzatura’ – it means ‘effortless.’ Clothes should always look effortless.
i-CANDY RATING: No candy for Carlton – he deserves ten bottles of Italian sparking water, like Pellegrino, which is clear, clean – but effervescent.
NAME: Laura Dromerick
OCCUPATION: “Actor, creature performer” (I think this means she plays creatures in fantasy and horror projects? Whatever. It’s Cosplay to the max.)
SUM OF THE PARTS: “It’s a jumpsuit, I got it from Nordstrom for a wedding cause I didn’t want to wear a dress. Now I’m obsessed with it, I wear it all the time. My bag I got at a vintage sale. My necklace is from Arson, a queer jewelry line. Everything else is from Melrose Trading Post.”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “I’m mostly vintage. It’s retro, vintage. I love travelling through time.”
NUGGETS OF CANDY: Lauren’s a tall drink of water, she can wear anything. But something about her definitely conveys another time.
i-CANDY RATING: Those little wax bottle with colored sweet liquid inside. I think they’re from the 50’s or 60’s, you might see them in those “old-timey” candy stores. But otherwise, stuck in the past – they ain’t comin’ back. Neither are your teeth, if you devoured them.
NAME: Glynis Costin/Art Streiber
OCCUPATION: (Glynis)Magazine editor at W/WWD, In Style, now independent talent booking consultant at Costin Consulting. (Art) Photographer extraordinaire of celebs for editorial, advertising, television and movie posters
SUM OF THE PARTS: I got this gold sequin skirt about ten years ago. Tonight is the first time I’ve ever worn it. Studded Diane Von Furstenberg bag. Black men’s blazer – I think it’s Theory – Art (my husband) got this necklace at Malibu’s Crosscreek. Shoes – I think are Michael Kors. I normally never wear high heels!”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “I go to my closet, I mix and match and see whatever I have. There are things I forget I have. Shopping in my closet. I don’t buy new clothes very often anymore.”
NUGGETS OF ICANDY: Glynis has worked at so many major fashion publications – W, Women’s Wear Daily, Los Angeles Magazine, In Style for many years – that even when she’s not trying, it’s just in her blood. Second nature.
i-CANDY RATING: Ten packs of mixed nuts – cause she’s absolutely no nonsense practical.
NAME: Kevin Roldan
OCCUPATION:Influencer, fashionista, Instagram wizard
SUM OF THE PARTS: “This is an asymmetrical high slit black dress that exposes a little bit of bosom – but it covers what needs to be covered. My white stilettos are from a designer you might know – AmaZONE! Accent on the second syllable. Nails by Nina on Melrose.
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “It’s all about self-expression. You don’t have to ask permission for anything! from anyone.”
NUGGEST OF CANDY: Kevin Roldan’s like a walking posing bolt of lightning. A living incarnation of a rave.
I CANDY RATING: The hell with candy. Give this shining star a crate of Crystalle and a case of caviar.
NAME: Julia Clancey
OCCUPATION:Fashion designer, lover of life.
SUM OF THE PARTS:“This electric blue number’s actually a jumpsuit, one of my own designs. These tassel earrings are attached to the turban (her design) but you can remove them. This crazy necklace: this was part of something bigger, it was by Christian Dior, looks like a little camera bag – but it holds your lipstick. I bought this bag in Spain. Good story about these pink suede Zara boots: many many years ago, I saw them on a friend. I said, ‘I have to have them!’ She said – ‘give up. You won’t find them.’ Not long after, I walked into a Zara – and there they were. I called to them. They came to me.”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY:“You know, life is SO short. Therefore everything you do should be about joy. I love dancing, movement. I design for that, and that’s how I dress. It’s fun when you go out and feel excited about what you’re wearing. It’s about celebration.”
NUGGETS OF CANDY:Julia is a turban and kaftan designing/wearing Mae West – she wears the party, she brings the party wherever she goes. It’s not just an attitude – it comes from her core. Glitter, fringe, tassels, gold, lame, color – she emanates it all.
i-CANDY RATING: Boxes and boxes of M & M peanuts in every color of the rainbow. Sweetness, light, bright – but a very strong core.
NAME: Tyler Curtis
OCCUPATION: Still Photographer/ DP/ Artist. Cinematographer for the RECTO/VERSO – 11th Collection of Wolk Morais Short Film
SHOOTING THE FILM “Brian, Claude, Kat and I had a lot of discussions about what we wanted to accomplish in the influences that we shared- but the concept was completely Wolk-Morais- from there it became a true collaboration. I was drawn to Run Lola Run, Brazil and In the Mood for Love as reference films for camera tracking and movement within confined spaces- but also as films that really made the location a character. With Western Costume, it’s impossible not to be overwhelmed while also inspired by its presence. For the runway shots, we knew we’d have to move quickly- both backwards and forwards and had to be extremely mobile as we shot during working hours- so we chose to put a Sony A7SII on a handheld Ronin which I manned and while my AC ran behind me with a handheld LED tube. This kept our footprint tiny and gave the models all the room we could muster. In between filming the models, we shifted from motion to one of three strobe setups for the corresponding lookbook. All in all we did about a week’s work in two long and productive days. I’m beyond grateful to the team, Kat’s incredible edit and Brian and Claude for trusting we could get it all done!
NAME: Rey Von Miller/Drew Cockrell (See earlier entries for both Rey and Drew from this event.)
NAME: Carlton DeWoody/Brian Wolk
OCCUPATION: Brian Wolk, one of half of the Wolk Morais womenswear and menswear design team. (Carlton bio please find earlier.)
SUM OF THE PARTS:Both members of the longtime work/life team always (wisely) dress in their own designs. Brian is particularly partial to sharp tailoring, often, flowy oversized suits and pieces.
STYLE PHILOSOPHY:Wolk Morais! The best fabrics, skilled cuts, subtle colors, killer textures.
NUGGETS OF CANDY:Wolk Morais suits, coats, jackets, with their natty cloth and shapes, simply make everyone look better – what’s better than that?
i-CANDY RATING: These guys are a gourmet meal, soup to nuts. Hold the candy.
NAME: Fran Roberts
OCCUPATION: “I’m a photographer and a creative director. I started in entertainment, was a model.”
SUM OF THE PARTS: “This blue shaggy coat is so warm and fuzzy. This is the first time I’m wearing it. It was made by a Swedish woman, a friend of mine who just sends me things. Pants are vintage Bebe from the 80’s – Bebe gets cooler as it gets older. Really. The earrings are from a thrift store.”
STYLE PHILOSOPHY: “I really like texture. I don’t mind wearing all black or all white, but I need varied textures. Layers.. I like jackets, scarves. Without all that, I feel naked.”
NUGGETS OF ICANDY: Tall and stately with fabulous auburn hair, Fran could wear literally anything. But instead of literally anything, she paired a crystal sky blue shaggy coat with auburn hair. That takes an eye.
i-CANDY RATING: A fluffy cloud of azure cotton candy (food coloring: not a flavor.)
HERE COMES THE FUZZ
L.A.`s perennial fashion trend: layering - went full frontal at this weekend`s Pickwick Vintage Fair: chill weather vintage coat`s ruled, though most were far from chill. Fuzzy: faux fur, chubby`s, woolly bullies, animal prints: the coat is the thing right now. So are popcorn knits from the 70`s - the fluffier the better. Suede and leather were standouts for sale: leather looks in lipstick red, fluorescent lime, butter yellow - and suede jackets, fringed or plain fun, in every shade of 70`s brown: cigar, burnt umber, chestnut, smoky topaz - and of course, this year`s new/old hue: mocha mousse. How 70`s can you get? Answer: At Pickwick, very.

Players Gonna Play, Play, Play: Taylor Swift’s Game-Day Fashion
By Merle Ginsberg
Some people love sports sweepstakes. But give me fashion sweepstakes anyday. NFL football celebrates strength, agility, speed, grit.
Yet Taylor Swift`s sartorial presence has added another dimension: Kansas City Chief`s games are now non-stop red carpet runway, where we get to see the world`s biggest (richest) pop star dressing up - and dressing down - for her biggest audience of all time. Two hundred million people catch the Super Bowl.
My story in The Hollywood Reporter illustrates how Taylor`s played the game: she`s the Chief`s cheerleader, but she`s also their smartest weapon: wielding her unique combo of sporty spice with high luxe fashion. And everything she touches (wears) turns to cash register gold.

COSTUME PARTY:
Four-time Oscar nominated costume designer Arianne Phillips (A Complete Unknown, Walk the Line, W.E., Once Upon a Time In Hollywood) woke up to her fourth nom on Jan. 23; she`d already scored a BAFTA nom for her work in the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown. But weeks before this, ASU’s FIDM fashion school then honored her with costume exhibit down at their downtown HQ, with many of Timothee Chalamet, Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning’s looks right there to touch and feel. “I grew up in the West Village,” Philips, an old pal (and former Madonna stylist), told me. “I grew up with Bob Dylan. What people don’t know is that he actually was a style icon. He never wore shoes – only boots – now true of many guys. After he met The Beatles in 1964, he amped up his game with more mod swagger. I think he influenced Bob generation of male dressing. Timothee had sixty-seven costume changes!

ANGELS IN WEHO????
We know about Angels in America. But till this pre-Thanksgiving sighting, we had no idea angels roam the streets of WeHo. Driving down Santa Monica Boulevard on a chilly Sunday, we spotted a shirtless youth with longish hair strutting, sans shirt – with only giant fluffy white angel wings fluttering from his shoulders for protection. When ask why, he smiled ear to ear: “I think we’re needed more than ever right now.” We can’t argue with that. Then he soared into Bottega Louie for one of their heavenly almond croissants. @visitweho @angelsinweho @angels.in.america @angelsinamerica_teatro
Le Superbe at Church Boutique
What better place to host a holiday season/Christmas/Hannukah shopping party than a boutique named Church? Shopping is a religion at Rodney Burns` and David Mulvaney`s emporium of eclectic eccentric furnishings, art and fashion from far-flung tk. They served vino and chocolate fondue to rabid LeSuperbe shoppers, the L.A. brand designed by this town`s fashion fixture Jeannine Braden. Holiday, the brand`s most coveted season, is famed for its chunky faux furs and sequin bodycon slinks. Among the high profile guests: Bananarama /Shakespeare`s sister singer Siobhan Fahey, the GoGo`s Charlotte Caffey, Michelle Laurita and Thomas Drotar. Oh, and me - all decked out in LeSuperbe celebratory leopard. Me-OW!

PICKWICK VINTAGE AT THE ROW
Downtown Los Angeles
16 November 2024
Sweater weather has finally landed at the Pickwick Vintage Fair. Just give these antique clothes devotees a little drop in degrees - out come the boots, suede jackets, tights, faux furs, leathers, plaids. Layering`s a distinctly L.A. obsession - particularly here, when, given the chance, L.A.`s sartorial stalwarts pile onfringe, feathers and funky footwear. Duly noted: fashionista shoppers like designer Trina Turk, designer/stylist Jeannine Braden and dresser par excellence, Judy Jimenez.
This past Saturday we returned to The Row for the always exciting Pickwick Vintage. This time we concentrated on the Vendors and asked them how they find such treasures. Passionate and dedicated all, there responses did not disappoint. Please find said clips on our website https://lamoodboard.com in the next week

MaxMara
Chateau Marmont | Hollywood
At the at least decade long annual event, the cocktail party for the MaxMara "Face of the Future" - this year awarded to Joey King - we noticed something seriously cool: the retro elevator to the first floor garden where it`s held, has long curtains tied at the sides in front of it - and a small round mirror behind it. It looks like a Vermeer and van Eyck reference, don`t they? "Girl With the Pearl Earring" and "The Arnolfini" - or what? And appropriately, there were a lot of pearl earrings headed up to the event, produced by David Rodgers Inc.

A.L.C. STORE OPENING
CAPTURING THE CROWD AND CELEBRATING HER NEW STORE
Everyone thinks fashion events: upscale store openings and dinners and the like, with editors, designers, stylists and requisite celebs are so glamourous. Problem is – they are. But along with that tasteful turf: the pressure of what to wear - dressing in the style of the designer/brand? Or is that trying too hard? Constant small talk, obtaining quotes (for coverage) – and a degree of formality that comes with being “on,” can take a toll - physically, mentally, socially.
Which is why the mid October opening of the new Beverly Drive ALC store – the third L.A. locale from founder/designer and L.A. homegirl and former stylist Andrea Lieberman (Pacific Palisades, Malibu – plus Soho, the Upper East Side and Hamptons in NY) was so – warm and fuzzy? Yes.

TODD SNYDER IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR
For spring/summer 2025, former J. Crew designer Todd Snyder, now the purveyor of two Los Angeles stores - The Grove and Abbot Kinney - went softer, flowier, prettier, pinker, peacher and sky-blue-er than his tweedy fall fare. In classic mens` club spot Le Rock at Rockefeller Center - an uptown eatery for well-heeled martini culture - showed soft suits, soft layers and shorts suits that push the envelope of menswear.

BEHIND THE SCENES | TODD SNYDER
NYFW SPRING/SUMMER 2025
For spring 2025, Todd Snyder – never one for conventional shows or conventional clothes – presented his menswear collection late afternoon at the Art Deco Stylist boite Le Rock at 45 Rockefeller Plaza on Sunday September 8.
Assembled in all their pastel glory in an empty floor upstairs, the guys in varied trench coat, shorts suit, satin jacket, baggy white linens looks, showed off slouchy silhouettes – one soft suit in a three piece wood rose hue – vogueing it up for the shutterbugs, under the steady gaze of Snyder himself, he and his tailors checking fits and stylish designer flip flops before the male entourage wound its way through Le Rock’s tables, like a style army staking out the best oysters and martinis the city has to offer.

TANNER FLETCHER: CAPTURING THE CROWD
Today we release the digital magazine (i-zine) of the innovative Tanner Fletcher show where we also “Captured the Crowd.” Those attendees decked to the 9’s. The full regalia may be viewed exclusively at LAmoodboard.com And be sure to check out our Tanner Fletcher: Fluid Luxury is more interesting than Quiet Luxury digital magazine; released yesterday and also exclusively available at LAmoodboard.com
Fashion Commentary from Merle’s Closet.
If there’s one thing more unique, joyous, iconoclastic and excellently eccentric than the adorable Brooklyn design duo Tanner Fletcher - Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell - is their buoyantly flamboyant - and rabid - crowd of (mostly young) fans and followers who practically vogued their way down west 26th St. on the way to their spring/summer show. Were they getting stopped to pose for their one-of-a-kind mash-up outfits - or were they fashion editors, layered up, posing as downtown boho`s? "I like to look at the collection and have it look like somebody`s closet,” Kasell explained as he and Richie greeted the TF faithful as they entered the multi room tableau theater, where actual models acted out the clothes. "There`s everyday stuff that`s easy to wear, but at the same time it`s fashion." Nothing every day about this cabal.
We ask you to follow us here on Instagram at #icandyla and visit us at https://LAmoodboard.com to get an overview of the latest fashion and cultural trends happening in Los Angeles (and in New York this upcoming week.) Capturing its myriad essence is our goal.
