Angelenos can come out to watch world-renowned polo player and event co-founder Nacho Figueras and his team, Black Watch, go head-to-head against some of the best polo players in the world, all while sipping champagne and enjoying fare from some of Los Angeles’ most beloved gourmet food trucks. To further support the preservation of the park, one dollar from each champagne flute sold will be donated to The Will Rogers Ranch Foundation, which aids the maintenance of the park’s grounds. Set on the idyllic grounds where Hollywood celebrity and polo connoisseur Will Rogers used to play polo himself, this historic site is located just outside Rogers’ former private home. Veuve Clicquot and Nacho Figueras are excited to bring professional polo back to the spot where Hollywood luminaries including Clark Gable, Walt Disney, and Spencer Tracy once enjoyed the ‘sport of kings.’ Offsite public parking areas will be provided with complimentary shuttles running continuously to and from the Will Rogers State Historic Park polo field.

Polo style tips for Women:
• Wear a hat and wear it proud. The bigger the better.
• Shoes need to be sensible and stylish. Go for a wedge and avoid a stiletto heel and avoid sinking into the lawn.
• Prints are your new best friend. A floral tea dress paired with a cashmere cardigan creates a great sophisticated, retro look that’s very Polo-esque.
• Dress the part: Throw on a pair of jodhpurs into your riding boots with a crisp polo shirt. Don’t be surprised if you end up on a horse, however!
• This isn’t a night club – leave the all-black wardrobe for the after-party!
Polo style tips for Men:
• Ask yourself, “What would Cary Grant wear?” Buy a grown up suit and dress to impress.
• Step out of the box and add some color to your wardrobe. An Etro print tie or pocket square with a colorful shirt exudes a bit of English-inspired eccentrics.
• It’s polo after all: When all else fails, a fresh pique polo shirt, slim flat front khakis, a cashmere pullover, and a gold Rolex will work wonders. Top it off with a fedora and aviators for a sense of mystery.
The LACMA’S $54 million dollar expansion of The Lynda and Stewart Resnick Pavilion opens to the public: October 2, 2010. The Resnick Exhibition Pavilion, designed by Renzo Piano, dramatically expands the museum’s exhibition space and unifies the western half of the museum’s twenty-acre campus.
The single-story, 45,000 square foot structure is the largest purpose-built, naturally lit, open-plan museum space in the world. This fall, it will house a trio of exhibitions that highlight both the diversity of the museum’s encyclopedic collection and the flexibility of the new building: Eye for the Sensual: Selections from the Resnick Collection; Olmec: Colossal Masterworks of Ancient Mexico; and Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700-1915
Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700-1915 will present a selection major collection of European men’s, women’s, and children’s garments and accessories to the public for the first time. The exhibition will tell the story of fashion’s aesthetic and technical development from the Age of Enlightenment to World War I. It will examine the sweeping changes that occurred in fashionable dress spanning a period of over two hundred years, with a fascinating look at the details of luxurious textiles, exacting tailoring techniques, and lush trimmings. Highlights will include an eighteenth-century man’s vest intricately embroidered with powerful symbolic messages relevant to the French Revolution; an evening mantle with silk embroidery, glass beads, and ostrich feathers designed by French couturier Émile Pingat (active 1860-96); and spectacular three-piece suits and gowns worn at the royal courts of Europe. The exhibition is curated by Sharon S. Takeda, Senior Curator and department head, and Kaye D. Spilker, Curator, LACMA’s Costume and Textiles department.

If you followed the trail of glitter through the Chateau Marmont Tuesday night, you found yourself magically transported to a private dinner party hosted by Mulberry. “It’s like ‘Hansel and Gretel,’ ” explained Mulberry creative directorEmma Hill of the event, which, she explained, borrowed from multiple cultural reference points, like Valley of the Dolls “and some naughty English royalty.”
To that end, Hill had the pool at the Chateau surrounded by larger-than-life (glitter-covered, of course!) leopards and hung sparkling roses from the trees. Taking in the spectacle—and Mulberry’s new fall line—were guests like Kelly Osbourne, Jessica Joffe (in a Thakoon tie-dye dress that matched the psychedelic-inspired scene perfectly), Jessica Stroup, and Nathalie Love, all of whom were given masks and Fuji instant cameras to capture the festivities. “I want delicious!” Cat Deeley called out to her tablemates, camera in hand, while Kate Bosworth (who was wearing her own Fashion’s Night Out T-shirt) fended off playful punches from Hill. “I love her,” Hill said, laughing. “I really love her!” After the dinner, the evening’s DJ, Alexa Chung, kept the night going as Teen Vogue’s Andrew Bevan danced with Gia Coppola until the wee hours of the morning. —Jessica Kantor
