Designers and Tastemakers Gather for MOTHER and Fashion Trust U.S. Celebration in Los Angeles

A star-studded evening unfolded on the fire deck at Petit Ermitage this week, as MOTHER co-founders Lela Becker and Tim Kaeding, along with Fashion Trust U.S. founder Tania Fares, brought together members of the design and creative world for an intimate celebration.

Abigail Spencer, Ashley Madekwe, and Ava Phillippe were among the stylish attendees who mingled under the stars at the rooftop gathering. The guest list also included Abby Elliott, Chriselle Lim, Mahjong Megachurch co-founders Jared Eng and Eileen Foliente, Henry Samuel, Olivia Keegan, Mei Kwok, Tinx, Lauren Perez, Langley Fox, designer Christy Cham, Peter Dundas, Jacquie Aiche, and Kadi Lee.

Set against a backdrop of twinkling lights, guests sipped margaritas while catching up with friends in the intimate atmosphere. The evening centered on celebrating independent designers making their mark within Los Angeles' fashion landscape.

"Los Angeles has always been at the center of what we do, from design to production," Tim explained. "For the past 15 years, we've made the majority of our collection here, working with local craftsmen and continuing to invest in the talent and infrastructure that make this city so special. Bringing everyone together tonight, alongside Fashion Trust U.S., felt like the best way to celebrate that community."
