Aimee Teegarden, Maurice Marciano and Cio Soler at Mr. C
There could not have been a more perfect night for Guess by Marciano to present its 2011 holiday collection in conjunction with fashion bible Vogue.
It was unseasonably warm as guests navigated their way from the mobbed valet parking and crowded into the pool area at the new Mr. C Beverly Hills, which is technically in Los Angeles, on the site of a formerly dumpy hotel at the corner of Pico and Beverwil, now gone upscale.
Flowing Perrier–Jouët and specialty cocktails? Check. Hot models? You betcha. A synchronized swimming troupe in sexy black one-piece suits, the Aqualillies? Over-the-top fun.
Aimee Teegarden, Carmen Electra, Shay Mitchell and Christian Serratos were among the guests looking stylish in Guess by Marciano as attention turned toward the pool and the show by the Aqualillies, alternating with sets of models sashaying from the poolside runway on stage to show off pieces from the new collection.
It is retro-inspired and ranges from high-glamour evening wear and versatile separates juxtaposed with effortlessly chic classic denim pieces. Sequin and lace accents complemented the rich indigo blue, red, black and winter white tones of the gowns and mid-length pencil dresses.
On-trend women will love the romantic sheer ruffled blouses and suit separates in earth tones that go day-into- evening when paired with cigarette-cut jeans and patent leather pumps. Faux fur and sequin embellishments, animal prints and bold, asymmetrical cuts were other trends that dominated the poolside runway at the event.
Everything looked great, even if it got a little wet.
