“I just wanted to hang out with my friends and do something,” Jamie Mizrahi said of bringing together her crew — Nicole Richie, Jen Meyer and Kelly Sawyer — for a night of crafting.
With the help of Berry Stein of Art Life Practice, the women were invited to adorn Seven For All Mankind denim jackets and velvet ribbons with beads and faux pearls.
“We like doing activities together,” the Los Angeles-based celebrity stylist, who counts Adele and “The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White among her clients, went on. “And I think we all go to a lot of dinners where we sit and eat and talk, and it felt really fun to have an activity we could do, an art project.”
Hosted at San Vicente Bungalows on Thursday night in L.A., the evening was held to celebrate Mizrahi’s partnership with the denim company; she was tapped to style its latest campaign: “Forever L.A., Forever Mankind.”
The imagery was on display at the party, shot by Sonia Szóstak and Jeremy Everett in Los Feliz off Sunset Boulevard, at Wright Ranch with a view of the Santa Monica Mountains and at Westward Beach in Malibu — an ode to the city and its vast, diverse landscapes (where Seven For All Mankind was launched in 2000, now owned by Delta Galil). It’s a fitting backdrop for the Californian Western theme of the campaign and line, featuring the new Willow cut with an ultra-wide leg and Ryan jeans, a relaxed, straight fit.
Guests — which included Liat Baruch, Simone Harouche, Olivia Perez, Babs Burchfield, Lauren Kassan and Ryan Scott — sipped on Cameron Diaz’s Avaline organic wines while enjoying a casual dinner.
“I have such a deep nostalgia for 7s,” Mizrahi said. “I remember my first pair of 7s.” She was working at boutique Scoop NYC at the time. “I was so excited to have a pair.”
