Designer Claire Powers is bringing meaning and purpose back into the fashion world with her sustainable, eco-friendly fashion line KINDOM. 

Claire introduced her exclusive limited summer collection on Thursday, July 19 at a Summer Soiree pop up event held at the chic Downtown LA boutique Alchemy Works. Continuing with the brands commitment to the betterment of the environment and humanity as a whole the proceeds raised at the pop up event went to benefit the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which works to end the destruction and slaughtering of the ocean’s wildlife.

KINDOM prides itself on using organic, recycled and plant-based materials like organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, Tencel and recycled polyester. Not only are the clothing items sustainable and compostable, but the packaging and bags are also as well. In a nod to 90’s fashion, the latest collection re-imagined popular styles like baby doll tops and dresses, embellished denim, wide leg patchwork pants, and casual maxi dresses all with the importance of versatility and sustainability in mind. KINDOM is proving that you don’t have to sacrifice quality or fashion while improving the world around you.

TV personality and fashionista Vanessa Simmons was all smiles as she rang in her 34th birthday at the W Hotel for Splash Night Fridays sponsored by Paris Night LA and French Tuesday in Los Angeles last Friday.

At 34 the daughter of hiphop legend Rev Run of Run DMC proves getting older just means getting better and even more stunning. With her newly launched fashion line, Bad Butterfly 2017 is proving to be a year of continued success for the star. In honor her birthday festivities the Splash Night waitress all donned swimsuits from the line on Friday night.

Vanessa celebrated with a group of close friends including Ray Cunningham from Love & Hip Hop and Spring Mooney, daughter of comedian Paul Mooney. She and her guests spent the night enjoying music and the  fun atmosphere while sipping on VieVite Rosé wine and specialty cocktails with Bulldog Gin and Perrier flavored sparkling water.

With the summer in full swing, and LA’s great weather all year around the W Hotel in Hollywood is leading the Friday night fun this summer with it’s weekly Splash Night Fridays. Splash Night kicked off the fun on the hotel’s rooftop June 16th and the festivities continue all the way to September 9th. This isn’t just your simple rooftop party with a great view it is also fully stocked with specialty cocktails, A-list DJs, a dance floor, and surprise performances. Each week’s theme this year is based on a famous beach or hot vacation spot from around the world. So if you’re not going on vacation this summer no worries Splash Night has got you covered.

What sets Splash Night apart from other events you’ll find this summer in Hollywood is the attention to detail the staff puts into planning things each week. From making sure each week’s theme is perfectly executed for guest upon entrance to the amazing cocktail menu that feature some of the hottest spirits from around the world as well as some refreshing non-alcoholic rinks. Bulldog Gin is among one of the alcoholic spirits on the menu that is making an impression on guest this year. Gin is an already popular favorite in the European cocktail scene that is slowly making a name for its self in the states as well. Splash Night’s signature cocktails French 75, #SplashNight VIP, and French Tuesday put a fun and refreshing spin on gin. But if gin isn’t your thing Splash Night also offers Canard Duchene Champagne, VieVite Rose Wine, and low calorie cocktails by SlimChic.
