The event included a cocktail party as well as a fashion show presentation of the brand’s Fall 2014 collection. Guests sipped on custom-made Chloe cocktails while celebrity DJ Soko spun an eclectic mix of tunes.

The event benefited the Harvesters, a woman’s auxiliary supporting the Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County that provides children, family and seniors with much needed food.

The fete brought considerable attention to the newly designed boutique, showcasing a new concept for the French fashion house. Its Costa Mesa boutique drew its inspiration from the Maison Chloé on Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris with a more contemporary approach.

The light-filled space showcases a complete collection of ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes, accessories and fragrances and introduces a new large pink monolith with inserted show cases in an elegant environment that features a natural stone floor and a Rose Aegean Marble cash desk. Haute!
