Ilaria & Danny's Confederacy With Mick Rock's Photograph Of David Bowie & Mick Ronson

One of our very favorite stylists Ilaria Urbinati and Danny Masterson co-own the amazing Confederacy store in Hollywood and tonight, benefiting the lovely Jennifer Howell’s charity, Art of Elysium, they opened their doors to Hosts Riley Keough (this is Elvis Presley‘s Grandaughter if you did not know) & Artist Shepard Fairey to present Mick Rock’s exhibition and launch of his new bok, Mick Rock Exposed: The Face of Rock n’ Roll. Portion of the proceeds go to The Art of Elysium’s Elysium Project, Mick was on site signing books and taking pictures, saying, ” What the Art of Elysium does is incredible, anything I can do to support I will do!”, he added to Jen Howell “I want to do a whole series of photos and benefit your foundation.” Mick’s work is curated by L.A. Gallerist Annie Wharton and will be on display through February.

DJ Momjeans (that’s Masterson) played music that would make any of the rock legends proud, it didn’t hurt that there were tons of real life musican’s out supporting tonight too, including; Juliette Lewis, Perry Farrell, Tommy Lee, Taryn Manning, Duffy, Linda Ramone, Monet Mazur and Cisco Adler.

Mick Rock At Confederacy

Sponsors of the night included Mick Rock themed drinks by Absolut Vodka and Thompson Hotel Group’s Co-owner Jason Pomeranc brought Mick Rock images from his famed Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel for display. The party was scheduled from 7-10 but went well past 11 as guests were enjoying the music, drinks, artwork and of course the shopping!

As we enjoyed the evening, we also came across the most adorably dressed guest, recent Berkeley Graduate Jeremy Bamidele who rocked out with his black vintage top hat from the 1800′s, a gift from his friend Jan, owner of Berkeley Hat Store.

Actor David Arquette enjoyed some coffee provided by Coffee Bean, a co sponsor of The Art of Elysium 2nd annual Genesis event. David also shared with us that he matched his duck print tie with his duck tattoo. He wanted us to take close up photos of his tie and tattoo as proof, since he knows we focus on fashion, but we had "technical difficulties." Next time David! Photo Credit: Style Seen Daily.
