For the third year in a row, PAPER is showing off the annual LA issue and throwing a series of events: art, concerts, dance parties, dinners and much, much more! And it’s just to celebrate all things Los Angeles!
The L.A. Project storefront, designed by Barbara Bestor, is located at 233 South LaBrea (near 3rd Street) and is open to the public from November 8 to November 11.
While Paper invades L.A., they are bringing some of their favorite non-LA peeps — Sarah of Paris-based, super-, super-cool legendary boutique Colette,
those lovable, long-haired, matchy-matchy fellows Andrew Andrew,
Ludlow Street staple-slash-artist Marc Razo,
Polaroid snapper Henny Garfunkel and
photographer/filmmaker Cheryl Dunn.
