The intersection of Sunset Blvd. and the 405, better known as the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel, was the place to be for the Friday and Saturday of Emmy Awards weekend.
That location was where Nathalie Dubois and her company, DPA, hosted its pre-awards luxury gifting lounge.
The two-day event saw a number of Emmy nominees, presenters, past winners and talent including Alex Borstein and Adina Porter, along with other VIP guests come through the doors to check out new products, fabulous trips and unique experiences.
Making the rounds were stars from shows up for Emmys like Abbott Elementary, The Morning Show, Palm Royale, The Bear, Lessons in Chemistry and True Detective: Night Country.
The event is well-known for sourcing unique brands from all corners of the planet to bring to the City of Angels in preparation for and celebration of top awards shows like the Emmys, the Oscars and the Golden Globes.
Among them: Jeweler Katherine Wallach, whose work has been described as naughty, elegant, fanciful, raw, talismanic, but almost always one of a kind. From Milan, Italy, Swiss DeMarquet returned to DPA with its new line of chic bags, stepping into the world of art deco elegance and playful monograms. Another find is from Bali, Acambha studio, a limited edition and handmade accessories for the conscious fashion enthusiast. And Fallen Stars returns to the Luxe with its unique Herkimer diamond jewelry made by Vin D’Aleo, with quartz extracted from a mine in Herkimer, New York.
