Unique LA Event

               

  

The Venue @ the Historic Barker Hangar

The 2nd Annual Unique LA event in Santa Monica last weekend was the  go to spot for new trends in food, fashion, design, art...you name it, all created from local designers and artists. Corey, the newest addition to the LA office went to the event and came back with a good review. All hand picked, these designers were chosen to exhibit their goods (and passion) to hopefully get some major exposure and new customers. In addition, Unique partners with many non-profits and donates 10% of the ticket sales! Once your in-- not only do you get a free ticket to the Orange County Fair but they have food trucks, free drinks & food samples, silkscreen t-shirts, photo booths, massage center, DIY (do-it-yourself craft booths) and much more! There was far too much to see in a few hours and the venue gets crowded, a good tip is to go in the morning to get the first looks. Unique is still very new, having launched in 2008 the creator, Sonja Rasula's mission is "to bring modern Made-in-America design to the masses, my goals are to help designers and small businesses grow and become sustainable, to support the local economy, and to teach shoppers the value of conscious consumerism." 

A-Z | PARTY!!!!!

Just before Christmas all at P&W set off for the Christmas party (bar Jess swanning off to Paris and Akiko on Business in Japan). This was no ordinary party, it involved a 3 course cookery class at L'atelier des chefs. A challenge for beginners and accomplished cooks alike.

I decided that I wanted to experiment with a new Lomography camera which meant you could create a whole roll of continuous images as a panorama. Which was perfect for this event.
