Beverly Hills — Drew Barrymore was sipping on French champagne. Dashing Southern Californian men were taking in the modern French aesthetic. It was a special day at the Façonnable boutique in Beverly Hills.

For the second time Façonnable, the venerable French fashion brand, teamed up with California’s premiere magazine, C, for an in-store cocktail to toast the easy, refined vibe of both Façonnable’s fall collection and the SoCal lifestyle.

C Magazine editor Will Kopelman held court in Façonnable’s Beverly Hills boutique as guests got an up close look at Façonnable’s key fall looks. The collection’s mix of perfectly curated outerwear, handsome knits and tailored blazers all spoke to today’s contemporary gentleman.

Although thousands of miles separate Beverly Hills from Nice, the home of Façonnable, the C Magazine event underscored the elegant easy aesthetic shared by both cities. A bi-continental joie de vivre indeed!
