The Darling “dream team” transformed Nathaneal’s downtown Los Angeles loft in to a Darling wonderland for the Summer Issue No. 8 launch party held on June 22.

The loft was adorned with all of our signature pieces. Large prints of our last seven issue covers and mission statement hung on the walls, and our Issue No. 8 cover greeted guests as they entered the loft. Vivian Khanh provided the gorgeous vintage furniture that decorated the rooms.

Music, courtesy of Banta, filled the air as our guests enjoyed light snacks, desserts and drinks provided by Pretzel Crisps and Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream. There was also a consistent line of excited guests waiting to take their pictures in the photo booth graciously provided by Flipbooth La.

Milena Mallory, our photography intern, captured photos of the night as it unfolded.

The celebration was dedicated to all our hard-working and talented staff, writers, photographers, stylists, designers, models and interns. They are the ones who make each issue possible, and their contributions make each issue a unique work of art.

Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed the night with us, and thank you to all of our supporters for being a part of the #darlingmovement.
