West Hollywood is a magnet for creativity and trend-setting professionals who exert a powerful influence in the highly prized Los Angeles demographic. WEST HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE, a quarterly magazine presents the residents, officials, artists, cultural institutions and lifestyle dynamics that have made this city renowned both nationally and overseas.

Incorporated in 1984, the City of West Hollywood is a magnet for creativity and trend-setting professionals who exert a powerful influence in the highly prized Los Angeles demographic. WEST HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE Magazine (a quarterly magazine) presents the residents, officials, artists, cultural institutions and lifestyle dynamics that have made this city renowned both nationally and overseas.

Our readers will know first-hand why Elton John, Oprah Winfrey and Jeff Klein, among many others, have been enticed to live, work and play in West Hollywood. Chosen for a VANITY FAIR Oscar party and by BRAVO to film a reality series, West Hollywood has quickly emerged as an unmatched center for art, design and progressive culture.

The City of West Hollywood is at the forefront of fashion, art and multi-cultural enterprise. From chic boutiques filled with top designers on Sunset Plaza Drive, Robertson, Melrose and San Vicente strips to the high-rise tower developments, enviable nightlife spots, and the new West Hollywood design district – the city infrastructure is growing exponentially.

WEST HOLLYWOOD LIFESTYLE Magazine will keep our readers in Southern California or across the nation, informed and engaged as we take a high-speed journey to the next phase in the community while celebrating life in West Hollywood and surrounding enclaves.

Starting with our cover story, the well-known Oscar statuette is changing—or changing back. For the first time in 33 years, it will be returning to its bronze form. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences earlier this year brought on the Polich Tallix foundry to not only return it to bronze but to get it as close to the original Oscar statue, which dates back to 1928. I encourage you to check out our story on the process of making the Oscar. 

Also in this issue, well-known artist Mauro Oliveira has created Living with Oscars, a series of paintings. We had the great joy of sitting down with him and learning about his amazing life story and this beautiful series of hand-painted Oscars on framed wood canvas that are well over five feet tall and, without a doubt, are statement pieces. 

Keeping up with the traditions of the red carpet, this season we bring you our “Underwater Red Carpet” gowns in the fashion pages of this issue. This is not only a beautiful shoot but a very touching one. It was produced with the charity Face Forward, which provides pro bono emotional support and reconstructive surgery to victims of violent and disfiguring crimes, such as domestic violence, human trafficking or any other criminal acts of cruelty. Thank you to the celebrities who got into the gowns and in the water with some of the survivors, and thank you to designer Dalia MacPhee for your beautiful gowns. Also a great thanks goes to Gisele Lubsen—one of the most talented underwater photographers here in L.A. To learn more about Face Forward, please visit www. faceforwardla.org.

Other profiles in this issue that should not be missed include Michael Habicht, one of West Hollywood’s best event planners to know this season; florist and event planner Jeff Leatham from the Four Seasons Los Angeles; and Marc Friedland, who is responsible for those beautiful Oscar invites along with the well-known envelopes and “the winner is” cards that come out with each Oscar presenter.

Fall fashion and art are always high on our list this time of year. In this issue, we bring you 16 pages of amazing fashion photography by Natasha Kertes. “Youthful Bliss” focuses on a young man with such a graceful youth but with an artistic edge, and it is a pure viewing pleasure. An exciting twist for our fashion pages was when Kertes decided to leave town and go to Paris to shoot our women’s fashion feature “Paris Blues.” Despite the hardships and/or blues that Paris has recently faced, we focus on the beautiful blues that still win our hearts in the fall months from one of the leading cities in fashion. 

Just over a year ago, we met photographer Karen Bystedt at her art opening here in West Hollywood. We fell in love with her work, but we also fell in love with her story. In short, she shot Andy Warhol in college … and lost the negatives. Over the course of living life, she also lost herself, but in the end, she found both.

W caught wind of another artist we were all too familiar with, and who made perfect sense to be included in this issue. Musician and lead singer of the rock band Incubus Brandon Boyd has a new artistic endeavor—a jewelry collaboration with designer Ali Grace that you will see in stores this fall. 

Other notable profiles we cover in this issue are Alexandra Von Furstenberg, Phenomenal Mark (who is a tour de force in fine art and fashion) along with Mitchell Binder, jewelry designer and owner of King Baby.

We encourage you to jump into our dining pages, which span seven pages. The West Hollywood dining scene is on fire.

Summer always conjures up visions of alfresco dining with friends, long picnics at the beach with family and dream vacations.

We took that wanderlust to the extreme in this issue with a trip to a private island in Tahiti once owned by Marlon Brando and followed that up with a trek to the Maldives. The latter was a once-in-a-lifetime journey that I’ve always wanted to take, and I was fortunate enough to embark on these luxurious trips almost back to back. I still can’t decide which island was my favorite (people keep asking)—but both were exceptional. We hope that you’ll agree and brave the jet lag on your own journey sometime soon.

Back down to Earth, our cover story on David Cooley, by writer Andy Wang, not only celebrates 25 years of The Abbey but offers insight into Cooley and his past that few have ever seen or heard. It’s nothing short of a great read!

We love the opportunity to celebrate an institution in this issue, but discovering new places in the neighborhood is always a treat, too—especially when they will help you to look and feel your best all summer. We have stories on amazing new beauty options from top-notch affordable facials to custom-blended perfume in a chic shop on Melrose Place to a cool man cave salon for men.

Your summer party plans might include spending time on the roof of the London West Hollywood with incredible sweeping views of the city, so be sure to read our pro le on its new lifestyle liaison Lindsay Luv, and nd out what fun is in store for guests this season.

For more nightlife and dining options in West Hollywood, sbe Entertainment Group brings us The Doheny Room, designed by David Rockwell, that should t the bill for an after-work drinks meet-up, while The Guild on Sunset will be perfect for that cozy dinner or long alfresco lunch on the patio—and don’t forget the rosé.

Cheers to a great summer!

Our cover story on Bravo’s Josh Flagg from Million Dollar Listing might help you decide not only what type of home to buy but where. Even if you’re not in the market, we think you will enjoy our interview done by talented entertainment reporter Lindzi Scharf, who was lucky enough to drive around West Hollywood with Flagg in one of his vintage Rolls-Royces while discovering what he loves about the city. 

Once you have found your dream home, you might want to call on designer and artist Thomas Schoos to create a space that people will never want to ever leave. I’ve known this brilliant designer for more than a decade, and his creative projects and global reach never cease to amaze me. If you spend even an hour with him at his West Hollywood studio garden — or his gallery, you will feel as though you just went on the most entertaining and exotic vacation. And now, we have Norah next door to his empire, where you can enjoy viewing his artwork and sexy design along with a great American-inspired meal and a cocktail.

Heading south of the border, we decided to take you down to Mexico, but not just the relaxing part where you drink margaritas by the pool, though we do share exciting updates on Cabo and a new retreat outside of Punta Mita, Mexico City is the heart of this section. While it’s not a relaxing city to navigate, it’s always invigorating with new architecture, art, shops and restaurants to explore at a fast pace.

Back home on the Sunset Strip, we are happy to see the Mondrian flagship eatery turn over a new leaf and become Ivory by Brian Malarkey with design touches by John Terizan of the h.wood group. Over on Melrose, we can’t wait to see what.
