In her first stand-alone boutique in Los Angeles, designer Vera Wang has created a 3,500-square-foot space that flows between two areas. The front space, decorated in dark purple, showcases Wang's ready-to-wear designs. In the rear of the store, Wang, who collaborated with the architecture firm, RNA Associates, created a sunny and modern bridal salon.
The two areas are separated by a mirrored fireplace. Feng shui elements such as water features, stone fixtures that represent earth, an airy space, and an outdoor fireplace makes guests feel instantly at home. And as we would for any guest in our home, we offered them a drink to begin the evening...
Working with the event planning firm of Details Details, our goal was to create a menu that matched the beauty, simplicity and elegance of Wang's designs and the space.
You could say a fashion event is certainly a time when good taste matters. Certainly this Burger Lollipop Cone represented culinary couture of the most satisfying kind...
As did the Croque Madames -- grilled petite country ham and gruyere cheese sandwiches topped with a quail fried egg. Dios mio.
And the Wild Salmon with Cilantro. A sushi of salmon with coriander pesto and leaves wrapped in rice paper...
And clear the runway for more s'mores! We've done them many ways but this one is a keeper. House-made marshmallows with chocolate crackers are served with a shot of hot chocolate cream float ...
Like Vera Wang's dresses, this was a timeless menu that we hope will become a classic.
