Aerin Lauder hosted an intimate dinner at members club San Vicente Bungalows in Los Angeles on Tuesday night in celebration of her new, 1,140-square-foot store in Palisades Village. It’s the lifestyle brand’s first West Coast retail location, following openings in Southampton, N.Y., and Palm Beach, Fla.
Guests enjoyed drinks and hors d’oeuvres during the cocktail hour on an outdoor terrace, followed by dinner in the dining room, where the tablescape was dressed in linens, tableware and glassware from Lauder’s namesake brand, launched in 2012, and floral arrangements by Lily Lodge.
