A brighter constellation of stars and scions is seldom seen assembled in one setting. Some of L.A.'s biggest names--Rosetta Getty, Eric Buterbaugh, Gia Coppola, Jacqui Getty, Irena Medavoy, Jennifer Meyer, Brigette Romanek and Kelly Sawyer--consolidated their cache to celebrate the launch of _London Uprising: Fifty Fashion Designers, One City,_ a broad documentation of the rich creative community of the London fashion world edited by Tania Fares, "a passionate supporter of the London fashion industry" and co-founder of the non-profit BFC Fashion Trust.
The celebration took place within the intimate confines of Rosetta Getty's private abode which was lavishly enlivened for the event by floral arrangements designed by Eric Buterbaugh. Guests mingled among spirits and bites by Jon & Vinny's and explored the new book. Notable attendees included Rowan Blanchard, Toni Garrn, Jennifer Stallone, Mario Testino, Crystal Lourd, Kimberly Muller, Naomi Nelson, and Natalie Joos. LA-based designers were also in attendance including Ambre Dahan, Gela Nash Taylor, Erin Fetherston, Justin Kern and Stephanie Danan of Co., Lisa Marie Fernandez, Pamela Skaist-Levy, Rachel Roy, and Rebecca de Ravenel.
