We shot both at the visually stunning and architecturally significant home, The Stahl House Case Study #22.

The Williams Collection was shot by good friend and collaborator, Carl Lindstrom.

The Kerouac Collection was shot by another close friend and  collaborator, J. Everette Perry, who in addition to being a photographer, also doubles as the West Coast Editor of Paper Magazine.

A big thank you to the entire cast and crew who made this 15 person, 10 hour day one of the best in recent memory.

GENTRY was part of Thrillist’s Valentine’s Day Gift Guide for men today, which was broadcast on FOX TV NY. Although Taboo was a little awkward, we were still happy to see our friend Hayden, Senior Editor at Thrillist, captivating audiences with all the best things to get your man this year for Valentine’s Day.

Here are several notes we’ve gathered over the years of hosting dinners that we feel are essential to a successful dinner party:

+ Guests : A balance of familiar and unfamiliar- there should always be a dark horse or two who are new faces, they always add a sense of novelty to the conversation. The 80-20 rule of vocation- Not everyone should work in the same industry

+ Restaurant / Food : Family style is always the best. Sharing food is a communal experience.

+ Seating : The art of the seating chart is truly an art form. Split up couples where possible and the boy-girl seating vs. the girl-girl seating is always preferable.

+ Host : Should always sit in the middle of the table.

+ Drinks : Before all sitting down, find a spot near the bar- or when available, around a fire pit outside- where people can ease into the dinner

+ Have a guest list like the ones pictured here:

Mr. Ashby – Michael Kors

We previewed our S/S 2011 collection along with the custom ties and tie bars we designed expressly for the staff of The Soho House.

Thank you to all our friends, family, stylists, editors, buyers, and members who came to support.

A special thank you goes out to Ashley Lent and Shelley Armistead of Soho House for all the hard work they put into making this partnership a reality.

The crowd, made up of mostly Los Angeles’s fashion elite, were all dressed impeccably, looking ready for a 1920′s pre-prohibition ball.

GENTRY loves Ms. Laury Smith.

Meet Robbie Makoto Melendez.
