Last night the surfing community along with some A-list celebs (Jake Gyllenhaal & Ashlee Simpson) took over Paramount Studios for Billabongs 5th annul Design for Humanity fundraiser! This year's event was benefiting VH1's Save the Music, and there was music everywhere. It was a straight up a New York City block party in the heart of LA.
Billabong created the perfect mini festival atmosphere, with a little blissful taste of Coachella. The streets were filled with live art, blasting music, head turning fashion, drinks, and the crowd favorite the Grilled Cheese Truck! The GC truck's line literally wrapped around the block, and for good reason. According to my boyfriend Jeff, the signature pulled pork grilled cheese was the the best thing he's had between 2 pieces of bread. And since I'm the gluten freak, I had to watch and drool over his grilled cheese mouthgasm...JEALOUS.
Now most importantly, lets chat about the fashion show. Not only where the girls drop dead gorgeous, but Mandy Robinson, the design director of Billabong, brought surf culture to a whole new level of sohpitication. From the green fishnet one piece to the white lace bell bottoms, the 70's were prominate throughout the show. The crowd favorite was Mandy's show stopping white lace crochet mini dress with cut outs inspired by Jane Birkin, who of course we all LOVE!
Following the fashion show Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros took the crowd by storm, and we had the best seats in the house! Yes we snuck up the building and watched from the roof!
Thank you Billabong for an unforgettable event. A great time was had by all!
