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. Frieze Los Angeles with Rosetta and her daughter Violet Getty also debuted a limited edition T-shirt at the party, featuring exclusive artwork, created to support the LA Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, aiding artists and arts workers affected by the Eaton and Palisades fires. The shirts were available for sale exclusively at Frieze Los Angeles over the weekend and will be available on for a limited time with 100% of profits donated. 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. For more information on the latest news and events at Neiman Marcus, visit 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.

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.

The portraits include shots of well-known individuals including Glenn Close, Diana Vreeland, and the Duke of Beaufort. The Hoodoos, quietly monumental, were captured by Rattazzi as a statement against a political act that threatened their continued existence.
