Fashion designers Sue Wong opened Los Angeles Fashion week with the Pre-Code Hollywood-themed "Glamour Goddesses" party and fashion presentation at her historic Wilshire Center Atelier on Friday, October 15, 2010.
Guests, who included fashion editors, stylists, and celebrities such as Brooke Burns ("Melrose Place," "Baywatch"), Bridget Marquardt ("The Girls Next Door"), Melinda McGraw ("Mad Men," "The Dark Night") and Charlotte Ross ("Glee"), roamed the loft-like space where the Sue Wong Spring 2011 Collection was presented on live models and installed mannequins surrounded by the designer's expansive modern art collection. Event sponsors included Napoleon Perdis, Matt Adams for Sally Hershberger, Famous Cupcakes, PAMA Liqueur, Hpnotiq Liqueur, Hansen's Soda, Vita Coco, Icelandic Glacial and Michael Antonio.
A tribute to the iconic glamour goddesses of the Silver Screen, the evening was a decadent celebration of Hollywood glamour and fashion. Many guests rose to the occasion and arrived in period attire or dressed in Sue Wong as their favorite Pre-Code screen legend including Bella Thorne ("Wizards of Waverly Place", "Shake it Up") who played with a fun Marie Prevost flapper look, and Brooke Burns who resembled Ava Gardner in her Sue Wong feather gown. "Sue Wong never fails to make a woman feel glamorous and feminine in her dresses, and tonight was no exception. ... However; I never wanted to take this feather dress off!" said Burns.
