Hollywood Holiday
Los Angeles labels Simoneh by Saena Samadi and Peterphan were featured on the runway at the third annual L.A. Fashion Corner holiday event and fund-raiser, held Dec. 15 at the W hotel in Hollywood.
“American Idol” contestant Andrew Garcia kicked off the evening with a few songs—including a few holiday classics.
Models walked the new hotel’s dramatic circular staircase in designer Saena Samadi’s sexy silk party dresses, which featured plunging necklines, sky-high hemlines and pretty details such as draping, ruching and lace. Designer Peter Phan showed dresses inspired by old-Hollywood glamour updated with edgy details. The corset on a ruffled white gown was encrusted with silver studs and spikes. A black lace dress was sheer enough to reveal the corseted structure and ruffled white crinoline. A purple satin mini featured oversized sleeves and a dramatic slashed back.
The event was organized by London Moore, producer of the F.A.M.E. L.A. (Fashion Art Music Entertainment) events, and raised funds for the Cause and Affect Foundation, a Dallas-based nonprofit that raises and distributes funds to impoverished people and families around the world.—Alison A. Nieder
