The series features ready-to-wear items including Under Armour’s hallmark athletic base layer pieces and innovative reversible garments including windbreakers, quarter-zip pullovers and track suit separates. Also offered are zip-up hoodies, sweatpants and Balenciaga’s signature baggy denim, interspersed with the athletic brand’s sportswear detailing.
The footwear offering features special editions of the Balenciaga Runner, 3XL and the new Hyper Sneaker, while accessories include silver plated jewelry with the Under Armour logo, single-mold wraparound sunglasses, duffle bags, backpacks and crossbody messenger bags in shiny leather and recycled nylon with the House’s signature washed, pierced and distressed finishes.

Following that, Jennifer Garner welcomed guests while board member Julie Bowen and Jesse Tyler Ferguson led the fundraising portion of the evening, resulting in a record-breaking $17 million raised.

Hedges Projects announces the exclusive representation of The Jon Gould Collection of Andy Warhol Photographs
Hedges Projects, the world’s leader in the purchase and sale of Andy Warhol photography, has announced the exclusive representation of The Jon Gould Collection of Andy Warhol Photographs.
The Jon Gould Collection of Andy Warhol Photographs includes hundreds of unique silver gelatin prints gifted by Andy Warhol to Jon Gould during their relationship. Upon Gould’s death in 1986, due to complications related to AIDS, the collection passed to his family, through whom the works are now available exclusively through Hedges Projects.
The most photographed subject of Andy Warhol’s art-making career, Gould was born in Massachusetts to an East Coast establishment family with lineage back to the Mayflower and is best known as a Paramount Pictures film executive and Warhol’s final partner. Warhol photographed Gould constantly when they were together and created a silkscreen portrait of him in 1981.
The Jon Gould Collection of Andy Warhol Photographs features scores of heroic portraits of Gould along with other notable subjects such as Mick Jagger, Bianca Jagger and Robert Rauschenberg. The works in this collection depict events and activities from The Andy Warhol Diaries (editor Pat Hackett) and the Netflix series of the same name. They are also found in The Andy Warhol Photography Archive at The Cantor Arts Center of Stanford University.
The combination of Warhol’s Diaries and the Photo Archive enables scholars, students, curators and collectors to research and contextualize these works in a singular manner providing insight into the artist and his subjects unlike any other medium. These works have never been commercially exhibited nor made available for purchase. A series of exhibitions is planned for venues in the United States and Europe in 2025.

Maison Louis Marie pops up at Platform
Los Angeles based fragrance house Maison Louis Marie has opened a holiday pop-up store at Platform in Culver City. The boutique showcases the brand’s full collection, including candles, perfumes, discovery sets, home fragrances and more.
Founded in 2013 by Marie du Petit Thouars, Maison Louis Marie has a heritage rooted in botanical exploration.

Since its inception, Maison Louis Marie has remained dedicated to the art of perfumery, blending tradition with innovation to create fragrances that evoke emotion and leave a lasting impression. Each scent is meticulously crafted using the finest botanical ingredients sourced from around the world, ensuring a supreme sensory experience that transcends trends and fads.
“Our commitment to quality and craftsmanship is at the core of everything we do,” Marie du Petit Thouars said. “We believe that luxury is not just about owning something exquisite, but about experiencing the beauty and artistry behind it. That’s why we pour our passion and expertise into every fragrance we create, ensuring that each one is a masterpiece in its own right.”
The pop up can be found at 8850 Washington Blvd. through the end of December.
Dôen and RMS Beauty introduce The Soirée Set
Los Angeles-based fashion brand Dôen has teamed up with RMS Beauty, the clean beauty brand by makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift, on a limited edition holiday makeup and skincare trio.
The limited edition Soirée Set includes curated full-sized RMS skincare and makeup staples including Kakadu Beauty Oil and cult favorites Lip2Cheek and Luminizer in two new exclusive shades, Pinot and Champagne, all wrapped up in a black velvet drawstring pochette.

To catch and reflect a golden moonlight glow, we included our newest shade of Luminizer. The best looking makeup starts with radiant skin, and this set has it all — wrapped in velvet — including our Beauty Oil made with my preferred blend of adaptogenic herbs.”
The set retails for $128 and is available online and in-store through Dôen and RMS Beauty.
