Hi, and welcome back to Line Sheet. Happy Presidents’ Day?
I spent the weekend in California, healing my central nervous system. It was an actual pleasure bumping into several of you on Thursday night at Arroz & Fun, retailer-turned-restaurateur Humberto Leon’s Lincoln Heights spot. The party—pegged to an exhibition of Spike Jonze’s photographs of Björk, selected by Leon—attracted several New York transplants, including Leon’s Opening Ceremony co-founder Carol Lim, Hommegirls’ Jen Brill, and Kim Gordon. (Never-New Yorkers including Scott Sternberg were there, too.)
As one friend texted, “That party was like a time warp back to 2009. It was sweet.” (Except that the sponsor was WeTransfer, not Stolichnaya. Apparently Rivers Cuomo was also there, but I didn’t see him.) Anyway, everyone lives on the Eastside of Los Angeles now. To my dear Phil, whom I hadn’t seen since before the pandemic: I swear I am not on Ozempic, but I appreciate the sentiment!
By the way, if you’re still reading the top of this email and convincing yourself that’s enough, fix your embarrassing misstep now. Look, you at least know how to read your name, right? It’ll probably end up in here someday, so worth getting ahead of things.
And for those of you who just left the Burberry show in London: Can’t wait to see you in Milan. Before I hop back on a plane, though, I’m tying up some loose ends from last week’s utter deluge. Enjoy this gathering of fun-sized intel across many of our favorite topics, from a new creative director appointment of sorts (no, not Alessandro’s new job, not yet) to all the fashion-media news fit to gossip about.
