Etro and Lawren Howell Celebrate The Spring Collection

It’s official that spring is in full swing in Los Angeles with temperatures hovering close to 90 degrees on Thursday afternoon and there wasn’t a day better suited to celebrate Etro’s spring 2015 collection. Lawren Howell and Vogue hosted the intimate gathering inside the terrace at the Sunset Tower Hotel, after it was decided that the sun was just a little too hot, even with many guests, like Ali Larter, Irene Neuwirth, Judy Greer, and Togetherness’s Melanie Lynskey, dressed in head-to-toe flowing dresses and colorful separates from the spring line.

During lunch, a light fare of salad and chicken paillard, Howell remarked, “It’s wonderful to get a group of women together like this, especially when the occasion is to celebrate a brand as beautiful as Etro.” She added it was also the perfect excuse to wear her floral Etro shorts.

Other guests and good friends of Howell’s who made it out for the afternoon gathering included Susie Crippen, Jessica de Ruiter, and jewelry designer Liseanne Frankfurt. No one left empty-handed; guests wrapped the table floral arrangements in custom-printed Etro napkins.
