Day of Stationery for the ABC OC Coordinator Luncheon at Foundry Vintage

As always it is a privilege to work with and contribute back to the community that I work in.  I thoroughly enjoy watching how the industry is consistently growing, changing, and flourishing.  It is inspiring to see the innovative sense and imaginary creativity of event designers and coordinators.  This past Tuesday, June 11th, 2013, the ABC OC Coordinator's Luncheon was hosted at Found Vintage Rentals in Fullerton, CA.  Topic of the season for the June meeting was on fashion styling by personal stylist Leslie Christen and beauty tips and demonstrations by Design Visage. 

Here is the link to the listed and contributors to the gleaming afternoon affair.  Included in the link are stunning photos provided by Studio EMP

Timeless Touch of Craftsmanship: Vacheron at LACMA

The newest inspiration cones from the craftsmanship of Vacheron.  As I was working on their stationaery for their grand event at LACMA, I was learning that quality and craftsmanship are not to be compensated.  It's the details that make the biggest different.  

If you didn't know Vacheron Constantin is a watch brand that has dotted the "i" and crossed the "t" for almost a century.  They follow the Haute Horologerie Spirit of watch making and timeless pieces.  At this event everything from invitation to menu, to table, location, and guests were treated to the finest finishing touches of Vacheron values in technique, aesthetics, and finishing.  In short statements as written like a timeless legend in the invitation:  "sharing our passion, passing on traditions, openness to the world, pursuite of excellence, and fostering creativity."  And lastly, in words of Francois Constantin, "  Do better if possible...and that is always possible."

Event Favors from Vacheron

Like Vacheron Constantin's values and craftsmanship, Chef Alain Passard also takes his craftsmanship of food and fine dining to the level of articulated art.  He is a french chef and owner of the 3 star Michelin restaurant L'Arpege  located in Paris, France.  In particular, Chef Passard is drawn to vegetables, spices and herbs; a trinity that releases the true character of our earth and the essence of life:  water.
