BCBGMAXAZRIA kicked off the holiday season on Thursday, December 13, with a Holiday Party at its Fashion Island boutique in Newport Beach. The night welcomed a slew of guests who were granted the rare opportunity to meet with BCBGMAXAZRIA’s creative director, Bernd Kroeber, and New York City-based celebrity stylist Kate Young.

The evening was a festive prelude to the California-based fashion label’s 30th anniversary, which it celebrates in 2019, and the launch of its Spring 2019 campaign starring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Young, who styled the upcoming collection, says, “I’m so excited about this. I have a sort of old-school love for the brand. For me, it has this association with moving to New York, which sort of goes with the ambitious working stylish girl. It’s fun collaborating with Bernd on colors and shapes while bringing a little of my aesthetic in.”

“[It] celebrates the preciousness and opulence while introducing new and effortless proportions,” says Kroeber of the new collection. “It’s a play of artfully balancing the opposites and going with your instincts…[and] Kate Young gives the collection an unexpected dimension.”

Attendees had the pleasure of discussing the collection and styling tips with Kroeber and Young as they satisfied their palates with cocktails and appetizers from Hungry Bear Catering. The party concluded with one lucky winner receiving a $1,000 gift card along with a special on-site styling session with Kroeber and Young. “I enjoyed meeting the BCBGMAXAZRIA woman,” says Young. “She is modern and empowered while romantic with a feminine sensibility. I witnessed her loyalty and excitement for the brand, [which] I share…as the future looks bright for BCBGMAXAZRIA.”
