L.A.-based costume designer Erica Nicotra O’Neill feted the launch of her new ultrafeminine line, Lavinia & Co., with an intimate soiree at the Laurel Canyon home of actress Susan Traylor on Saturday, May 7. Hosts Amelia Fleetwood, Apple Via, Patrik Milani and Zoe Cassavetes welcomed fellow tastemakers and friends to preview the collection of summer-ready dresses and smocks, which hung on racks beside a pop-up dressing room. Named after O’Neill’s two children, Lavinia and Cassius, the debut line was heavily inspired by her grandmother’s closet during post war Sicily, resulting in a vintage-looking range of modest hemlines and soft floral prints. Guests including Minnie Driver, Marisa Tomei, Gregory Parkinson, Jessica de Ruiter and Moby joined the designer in toasting her new venture, which launched online this past weekend.
