Last Tuesday night, Rosetta and Balthazar Getty hosted an exclusive reception at their residence in the Hollywood Hills to celebrate the start of Frieze Week in Los Angeles.
Guests included Frieze CEO Simon Fox, Frieze Americas Director Christine Messineo, Getty President and CEO Katherine E. Fleming, Serpentine Galleries CEO Bettina Korek, Art Production Fund Executive Director Casey Fremont and Frieze Focus and Made in L.A. 2025 curator Essence Harden alongside artists Kelly Akashi, Delfin Finley, Kohshin Finley, Alex Prager and Torbjørn Rødland.

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 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.
Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus has debuted its spring campaign, 'Café Society,' a vibrant celebration of the synergy between fashion and culinary culture.
Captured by Bobby Doherty and shot at Mr. Chow Beverly Hills, the campaign honors Neiman Marcus' culinary history and how restaurants have always served as places to see and be seen.
The campaign stars Pat Cleveland, Michael Chow (aka Mr. Chow), Kathy Hilton, Ivy Getty, Lucky Blue Smith, Nara Smith, China Chow, Cindy Rachofsky, Mobolaji Dawodu and Pierce Abernathy.
'Café Society' continues Neiman Marcus' 360-degree campaign strategy, appearing across digital, social and print media in addition to its owned online channels. In stores, customers can experience the magic of the campaign through window displays, interior presentations and immersive events as part of its dynamic 'retail-tainment' strategy. By partnering with celebrated chefs and offering access to the most desired dining destinations, these activations create new, engaging ways for clients to connect with luxury.
'Fashion and food have always been the most stylish companions, serving as catalysts for connection, creativity and cultural exchange. The most coveted restaurants around the world have long been gathering places for tastemakers and visionaries, where ideas flourish and trends are born,' Nabil Aliffi, chief brand officer at Neiman Marcus, said.
'Café Society' will unfold across exclusive, curated culinary collaborations in select markets throughout the season, including a dinner in Los Angeles with Michael and China Chow along with an exclusive retail partnership featuring Mr. Chow merchandise.
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 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.

Costco adds famous name brands (and those brands aren't happy)
Going to Costco is never the same experience twice. Of course, you'll always find the same staples like detergent and dog food, eggs and meat, but I've yet to walk out of a Costco without at least one item that wasn't on my list. I have never set out with a plan to buy sheets, towels, or a Vitamix at Costco, yet somehow all of these items have found their way into my cart. The treasure hunt element of a Costco visit is one of the things that makes it so much fun. I know I'm not alone in feeling that way. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter So you've been warned: if the price is right, that patio pergola you didn't know you needed just might find its way into the back of your SUV. While Costco always has most of the groceries and household goods shoppers expect, the company also strives to keep things interesting with seasonal products like that pergola or camping essentials. Costco doesn't just throw caution to the wind when it adds special products, however. The company's stated priority makes it clear: "Our mission and our business is to continually provide members with quality goods and services at the lowest possible price," said Costco CEO Ron Vachris at a talk he gave at Seattle University in March. Costco's return policy is legendary, so you can bet the company isn't going to gamble by selling garbage that customers end up returning for refunds. Image source: Shutterstock Cost is key, but quality comes in a close second at Costco, even in the clothing department. In every Costco, there is a huge section of clothing that sometimes includes legacy brand names like Frye or Levi's. And there is also always plenty of Kirkland-branded clothing. But sometimes Costco management decides it's better to let the brands speak for themselves. That's the case with the new Saks Fifth Avenue collaboration. Related: Costco puts famous New York City brand on shelves Costco will soon carry a line of men's apparel made by Centric Brands in collaboration with Saks Fifth Avenue; a women's line is also expected, according to a report in WWD, Centric Brands has a deep roster of well-known upscale brands, including Joe's Jeans, Buffalo, and Izod. Last year Saks formed a joint venture with Authentic Brands Group, which licenses dozens of well-known brands, ranging from Barneys New York, Judith Leiber Couture, Hervé Léger, and Vince. The Saks/Costco collab is thought to be part of this new venture. Related: Costco vs. Sam's Club: Memberships & product prices compared The presence of the Saks Fifth Avenue name at Costco is causing concern among some of Saks' current vendors. Several brands that sell through Saks say the partnership could damage the upscale image the department store has long cultivated. "You can't take a prestigious name like Saks and put it into Costco," said one vendor who regularly does business with Saks, according to the WWD report. He believes this move could further erode the retailer's high-end reputation. "They're trying to monetize the trademark," he added, expressing frustration that the Saks brand might lose its exclusive appeal. The vendor also questioned whether shoppers would still associate Saks with luxury if they begin seeing its name on display at a value-focused warehouse club. Related: Costco members need to know these shopping secrets "Where is luxury going?" he asked, highlighting the growing tension between prestige branding and mass-market exposure. Meanwhile, Saks has been expanding its e-commerce footprint through a new partnership with Amazon. Earlier this year, it launched Saks on Amazon, a dedicated storefront on Amazon's Luxury Stores platform. More retail: Aldi releases viral Trader Joe's item that is always out of stock Home Depot, Lowe's rivals strategic growth planTrader Joe's making huge mistake not copying Walmart, Target The online boutique debuted with a curated selection of designer labels, including Dolce & Gabbana, Balmain, Etro, Stella McCartney, Giambattista Valli, Erdem, Fear of God, Jason Wu Collection, Rosetta Getty, and Johanna Ortiz. High-end beauty brands such as Chantecaille and La Prairie also joined the online boutique. Saks is likely just looking for a way to survive. Like every other retailer on the planet, Saks has been closing stores, and earlier this year Saks Global shut down a fulfillment center in Tennessee resulting in 450 people losing their jobs.

Bankrupt retail chain closing down all stores, laying off 1000s
There are probably a few stores you can think of that shattered your perception of the retail space when they shut down. Maybe it was your favorite local mom and pop shop downtown, which catered to locals for years. Related: Famous retail chain closing more stores amidst chaotic new change Perhaps your favorite sporting goods store closed down. Or it could've been the local hardware store. Maybe it was even a popular restaurant. If you're like most people, though, the closure of a smaller store doesn't always seem like a surprise. Even if the closure is devastating to the local community and the hardworking folks who run it, smaller businesses close all the time. In fact, it's estimated that about 50% of restaurants and small businesses fail within five years of opening. Those aren't great odds, and in this new retail landscape, it can seem like a wonder that Main Street businesses remain functional at all. Image source: Bloomberg/Getty Images Given these odds, it's not always a huge shock when a small, niche business shuts down. But it certainly does seem surprising when a huge stalwart sputters to a halt and closes down operations. Take Forever 21, for instance. More closings: Popular Mexican chain closing all restaurants, no bankruptcyIconic mall chain shuttering more stores foreverMajor gym closing multiple locations after franchisee bankruptcyAfter Chapter 11 bankruptcy, beloved retailer closes all stores The discount fast fashion retailer was a staple in nearly every mall in the U.S. It had a massive, multilevel store in Times Square in Manhattan and was renowned as the place to go for everything from cheap formalwear to bathing suits. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2025 and shuttered hundreds of stores around the U.S., coming to a complete and rapid end. The same is the case with Joann Fabrics, which is now bankrupt and closing down all stores. These retailers were iconic locales with hundreds of locations across the U.S. So their closures will be felt by many shoppers who once relied on them for products. The same has been the case with Hudson's Bay, the Canadian department store. Hudson's Bay is North America's oldest retail chain, but its history hasn't protected it from issues. Hudson's Bay -- which also operates several Saks Fifth Avenue and Saks OFF 5th Canada locations -- had been planning to shutter stores after it was revealed that the company was struggling financially and filed for a Canadian version of bankruptcy in March 2025. Related: Forget Rite Aid, another struggling drugstore closing down stores But it received a lifeline in mid-May, when Canadian Tire Corporation agreed to buy it for $30 million CAD. The lifeline, however, is hardly a bid to keep stores open. Now, Hudson's Bay has announced it will shutter all 96 locations, which include: 80 Hudson's Bay stores13 Saks OFF 5TH outletsThree Saks Fifth Avenue stores All 96 stores will close forever by June 1, 2025. About 8,000 employees will also be terminated. This represents nearly 90% of the total Hudson's Bay workforce. Liquidation sales are also currently being held; they will last until June 15 and all sales are final. The Arena Media Brands, LLC THESTREET is a registered trademark of TheStreet, Inc.
