A formidable mix of in-the-know investors and female entrepreneurs gathered on Thursday, April 4, at the Pacific Palisades home of venture capitalist and Muse Capital co-founder Assia Grazioli-Venier and her partner, David Schiff, on Thursday, April 4 to fete Blazé Milano’s new made-to-order blazer collection. The Italian brand’s co-founder Delfina Pinardi was also on hand to provide guests such as Sophia Bush, Gabriella Campagna and Natalia Bonifacci with expert insight on the garments’ various fabrics and fits.

In keeping with the affair’s sumptuous Italian vibe, guests noshed on bites from Angelini Osteria and sipped Fiol Prosecco while sampling Bacio di Latte gelato. In a brief but heartfelt speech to attendees, Grazioli-Venier — who discovered Blazé Milano via social media several years prior — credited the brand’s custom creations for getting her through some of her toughest corporate meetings, calling them her “lucky blazers,” and said she was honored to host the event. “Wearing a perfectly cut bespoke blazer allows any woman to walk into a room and own it,” she added. “Every woman needs a Blazé in her closet.”
