Saks Fifth Avenue’s personal shopping and styling service lands at the London West Hollywood

Saks Fifth Avenue has partnered with The London West Hollywood to bring the retailer’s luxury personal shopping and styling service, The Fifth Avenue Club, to West Hollywood.

The standalone Fifth Avenue Club suites are an extension of the brand’s existing Fifth Avenue Clubs, which are located within Saks Fifth Avenue stores.

Available to both local customers and hotel guests, The Fifth Avenue Club West Hollywood is a by-appointment destination, providing every customer the chance to customize the store to their unique shopping preferences. Customers can shop a regularly curated merchandise assortment that complements items pulled specifically for appointments, based on an in-person or virtual consultation with a Saks Stylist.

A dedicated beauty counter is also available to further enhance the client experience. Select pieces from Saks Fifth Avenue’s fine art collection will be on display, as well as a QR code so clients can easily browse the full art gallery and visualize each piece in their homes. The Fifth Avenue Club West Hollywood can also be personalized for exclusive events, brand takeovers and customized shopping journeys.

The Fifth Avenue Club West Hollywood is the 21st location in the brand’s expansion of personal shopping, with additional locations set to open in new markets throughout the year.

“We are absolutely thrilled to partner with Saks Fifth Avenue to bring The Fifth Avenue Club to West Hollywood,” Terry Buchholz, general manager at The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills, said. “The London West Hollywood hosts a myriad of film screenings, junkets and events throughout the year, and we feel confident that having this offering on property will greatly appeal to those within the entertainment industry as well as to our hotel guests and locals.”

The Corita Art Center announces a new location in the Los Angeles Arts District

The Corita Art Center (CAC), the largest and most comprehensive collection of Corita Kent’s art and archives, has announced its new location will officially open March 8 in the Arts District.

Kent — a nun, educator, activist and artist who fused social justice, spirituality and pop culture in her bold, vibrant work — was often referred to as the “Pop-Art Nun” and pushed the boundaries of art and social practice.

“Of the few single-artist spaces dedicated to women artists, this marks a significant milestone as Los Angeles welcomes its newest cultural space dedicated to one of its most important artists, Corita Kent. Corita was a pioneering artist who challenged societal norms and used her creativity to inspire reflection, connection and change,” Nellie Scott, Corita Art Center executive director, said.

CAC’s opening exhibition, “Heroes and Sheroes,” pays homage to important figures that Kent believed inspired and uplifted society. Between 1968 and 1969, Kent produced 29 prints that she identified as “a set of heroes and sheroes.” The series represents a pivotal moment in her artistic journey, created shortly after she took a sabbatical from Immaculate Heart College and subsequently left the order of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

While Kent never directly participated in the radical activities associated with many of her contemporaries of the religious left — such as Daniel Berrigan and the Catonsville Nine — the “Heroes and Sheroes” artworks capture her evolving vision and powerful engagement with the social and political movements of the 1960s. The prints address topics such as labor and civil rights, nuclear disarmament and political assassinations while employing imagery and language from mass media. Notable figures in this series include Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King, Robert F. Kennedy and Cesar Chavez.

CAC is located at 811 Traction Ave., Unit #3A, Los Angeles, 90013.

Jennifer Meyer Jewelry debuts a new necklace to support Los Angeles wildfire recovery efforts

Jennifer Meyer Jewelry has launched the LA Necklace — a symbol of community and resilience — to give back to the Los Angeles community and help rebuild after the devastating wildfires.

Handcrafted in 18k gold and available in yellow, white and rose gold, 100% of net proceeds of the necklace will benefit both Baby2Baby, the L.A.-based nonprofit delivering critical items to children devastated by natural disasters and emergency situations, and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation, which collects donations to help cover the costs of essential tools and safety equipment for LAFD firefighters.

Meyer opened her first brick-and-mortar store in Palisades Village in 2018, 13 years after founding her eponymous label.

A native Angeleno who grew up in Malibu and lived in the Palisades until 2020, Meyer’s boutique has been closed since the fires ripped through its Westside town in January.

Neiman Marcus celebrates food and fashion with its “Café Society” campaign

Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus has debuted its spring campaign, “Café Society,” a vibrant celebration of the synergy between fashion and culinary culture.

The retailer will also host exclusive tasting tables at its restaurants in select markets throughout the spring. These coveted reservations will showcase luxurious tablescapes that highlight the brand’s elegant home décor collections from Versace, Ginori 1735, Jan Barboglio, Baccarat and more.

Barbie partners with Black in Fashion Council in honor of Black History Month

Barbie is celebrating Black History Month by honoring multiple generations of Black female designers, from the visionary behind the first-ever Black Barbie to today’s rising talents shaping the industry.

In collaboration with the Black in Fashion Council (BIFC), Barbie is spotlighting three trailblazing Black female designers — Larissa Muehleder, Nia Thomas and Fumi Egbon — through a series of interviews led by media personality Blake Newby. These designers share their personal journeys, highlighting challenges they have overcome. To address key barriers in fashion, Barbie and BIFC will introduce custom programming at the 2025 ENVSN Festival, an event dedicated to empowering young creatives through mentorship, workshops and interactive experiences.

Barbie is also celebrating the 45th anniversary of the first Black Barbie doll, designed by trailblazer Kitty Black Perkins. Before the iconic Black Barbie debuted in 1980, franchise characters like Christie (introduced in 1968) paved the way for diversity in the Barbie line. To commemorate the anniversary, Perkins worked with Barbie to create a celebratory doll, available for sale at Mattel Shop.

@BarbieStyle kicked off Black History Month with Aurora James, creative director and founder of Brother Vellies, styling a feature on the BarbieStyle Instagram channel to showcase dolls wearing a range of Brother Vellies’ signature styles including the Doodle Boot and two Vellies. “The Barbie Podcast” also spotlighted James as a special guest, featuring her journey of becoming a trailblazer in the fashion industry.

Fans can also celebrate Black History Month with Barbie through the 1980s Black Barbie Collection and Barbie Black History Month apparel lines available on Amazon. The collection, available now at the Barbie Amazon storefront, includes over a dozen graphic tees featuring iconic Black Barbie images in a wide variety of sizes and colors.

Knowing that Black designers make up only 7.3% of the fashion industry, despite the community’s significant influence on fashion, Barbie is committed to encouraging more young Black girls to consider a career in fashion design through partnerships that help break down barriers, unlock opportunity and inspire the next generation.
