Catching up with artist Chuck Arnoldi this past week was a real pleasure. Not only is he an extremely talented painter/sculptor and designer, but Chuck's a walking history book of Southern Californian culture dating back to the 60's. Without a doubt, one of the most interesting people you could hope to meet. And his work just gets better and better. #chuckarnoldi @charlesarnoldi

Maybe the best thing about wearing vintage - and there are many: those great prices, harkening back to cooler eras, a way of showing a penchant for individual style (no one will have what you're wearing), the joy of sifting through a quarry to find what speaks to you - is the story behind the piece. Yes, fashion as storytelling. What you're wearing is suddenly a conversation piece: its era, its provenance, how you chose to style it. There are beaucoup de conversations at the monthly Pickwick Vintage Show at The Row DTLA: its 70 plus vendors and their loyal flocks don't do costume party. They do them - splendiferously. Singularly. I used to think vintage chicks, vintage chic, were camp - even kitsch. Shopping Pickwick a couple times, I now see them - us - as full-fledged epicureans.

You always know a soiree at Maxfield on Melrose is going to be a visual feast. Designer Willy Chavarria, fave of Billie
Eilish, had his spring/summer collection debut at Maxfield, which brought out muse, rapper YG, in head to toe Willy wear - including silver gloves - lots of Willy wannabe's - and a full gamut of thrifters, goths, leather lovers and neo-punks who spend big bucks to look rebellious. Viva Maxfield! CFA-award winning NY designer Willy Chavarria, who has worked for Nick Graham, Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein, is so CFDA-winning major with his namesake line, he's broken into Maxfield. One his muses, rapper YG, came to the Maxfield opening party in all-Willy, while Chavarria says his other muses include: "Billie Eilish - and Madonna."

OR BAR OSCAR PARTY
It was my pleased-as-punch pleasure to guest host the First Annual OSC-Or's party at my home-away-from-home, Weho's divinely-decadently-decorated Or Bar. Co-owners Rob Novinger, Stevie Schestag, mgr Darren Kendrick and dj Jason Wimberly held down the fort; I welcomed guests to the Art Deco styled lounge. Of course, Or denizens dressed appropriately.

HOLLYWOOD FRAGRANCE
What does Hollywood smell like? Some might say green grass (both kinds). But now there are twin fragrances claiming to bottle Hollywood:
Hollywood Sunrise and Hollywood Sunset, created for the Hollywood sign's 100th birthday. What??? it doesn't look a day over 50!
Therelease party brought out a well dressed, well tressed and sweet-smelling crowd. Let's face it, the smell of Hollywood is
indeed green: money.

Art Deco Society Los Angeles

Art deco architecture abounds in our fair city - as do fashion shows, of late. But it took The Art Deco Society of L.A. - which supports
preservation, Deco walks, holds dress up balls- to bring them together. An Art Deco fashion show, held in that most beauteous of
L.A. Deco temples, Bullock's Wilshire (now Southwestern Law School), included costumes from famed films worn by appropriately marcel
waved models - all from the storied collection of Hollywood historian Greg Schreiner. The direct link to this show may be seen at https://lamoodboard.com/icandyla-events-2/ This will include the members who showed up for the show dressed to the 9’s highlighted here.

The fourth annual Frieze Los Angeles blew into town - more specifically, Santa Monica's Barker Hangar - on Thursday Feb 29, housing eclectic art work from over 95 international galleries. Born in London in 2003 out of the 1993 British art magazine of the same name, Frieze LA opened on the Paramount Lot in 1999, instantly becoming the cultural/social event of the season. Thursday night's excitement had local culture collectors whipped up into an anything-but-chill frenzy, extending their costumes - a word I use to describe these sartorial choices because aesthetics aren't just an outside job: they start in your gut and work their way out. We spotted lots of walking works of art at Frieze - heating up the big tent into a kind of cultural circus.

Bella Bella Bella! An awards season fete for the video release of “Poor Things” at the Wilshire Ebell showed off the film’s fantasy Victorian goth in an atmosphere bedecked with ‘baby Bellas’: small pale models in long black wigs, puffed sleeves, ruffle tops, wide shorts, boots (a la Emma Stone), dancing against a background of Holly Waddington’s award winning costumes on mannequins. Selfie stylistas in this Insta-influenced crowd created their own wildly inventive would-be Bella’s.

THIS PAST SATURDAY: It’s hard to believe I was a Pickwick Vintage virgin till recently. Busting my Pickwick cherry, I’m already an addict. The big baby of Big Daddy vintage king Richard Wainwright is no longer just the domain of thrifters antiquarians or 90’s obsessed kids. I found rare delights from Chanel, Gucci, Ferragamo, McQueen, Celine: bags, glasses, dresses, sweater, etc, goods – all pristine, all priced far lower than expected. Sure, Crossroads has deals – Out of the Closet has steals – but Pickwick is a true vintage lover’s dream, with better goods and better prices for them than I’ve seen anywhere else. I’m going back for jewelry, evening bags, 70’s dresses, patchwork leather jackets -

SIGNAL TO NOISE 13 January 2024

Art and fashion: they've been intertwined so long, it's hard to tell which influences what. Must art live only on walls - or can it enliven bodies? At Diane Rosenstein Gallery's "Signal to Noise" show, colorful work by 22 artists, curated by writer Michael Slenske, play on abstraction as described by painter Wassily Kandinsky's as "synesthesia": the subjective sensation of an image. The crowd's sartorial art was equally subjective: Self-as-Art is an art form, too.

More photos from LUNA LUNA in downtown Los Angeles. An extremely visual experience of this once German arty Amusement Park now reassembled in a warehouse. It is worth the drive out to Boyle Heights to experience its beauty. @lunaluna

LUNA LUNA There's a plethora of theme parks in L.A. - Disneyland. Universal City Walk. Legoland. You could argue the whole city's a Hollywood theme park.
But it's not all for kids/tourists/arrested development types. Finally there's a magical theme park for adults - though 'Luna Luna: Forgotten Fantasy' would spark childlike wonder in anyone who makes the trek down to Boyle Heights. Luna Luna is pastiche of art treasures, a visual feast - you could liken it to a sunken treasure ship filled with fully restored works created in the late 80's by David Hockney, Sonia Delaunay, Salvador Dali, Jim Whiting, Joseph Beuys, plus New Yorkers Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf. Surreal? Avant garde? Don't bother micro-dosing. You won't need to. @lunaluna @keithharingfoundation @keithharing_

DRESS LIKE PHARRELL
Camouflage goes Damoglage.

“I Candy,” as we call it, is in the “I” of the beholder. So, boy, did my eye – and eyes – get a lot of hard candy at the opening of Louis Vuitton’s Melrose pop up for the first menswear collection by new-ish LV Creative Director Pharrell Williams. The designer/producer/artist/singer applied all his hybrid talents to it: pixilating LV’s famed Damier check in camo colors (“damoflage,” his nickname for it), breaking LV legacy bag The Speedy out of its long time canvas neutrals with real leather rainbow colors. The pop-up is decked out in gold Damier checked floors, the overwhelmingly male crowd was decked out in a variety of LV looks. Celebs like Barry Keoghan and Jaden Smith each wore it in their own way – as did big time influencers, models, movie producers, actors – and LV staff. And there were more LV bags than on any LV women’s runway. “Bags are all unisex now,” laughed one LV employee. “The man bag is dead.”

In our Real Deal category we have decided to republish the article we wrote for Los Angeles Magazine this past February about West Coast artist Charles Arnoldi who had recently sold a print of one of his paintings to British luxe label Alexander McQueen for a dress and clothing pattern. Chuck’s enchanting wife, novelist Katie Arnoldi, who was sent a dress was even kind enough to model it for us. (You will find the article and photoshoot session at https://lamoodboard.com/realdeal/ I returned to Charles studio this past week to follow up and shot some of his newer works which as usual floored me.
