Our launch party - the planning, the glam, the guest list, and what really happens when you throw something in LA.

From early morning extensions to custom drinks, merch details, and curating the perfect room, we’re breaking down how it all came together and who showed up. Who stayed. Who surprised us. And whether there was any drama (obviously).

We’re also talking LA nightlife now vs. 5–10 years ago, clubs vs. house parties, and the kind of vibe that actually makes a night feel iconic.
