"No Pressure!" exclaimed actress January Jones as Net-a-Porter s Chief Executive Officer Alison Loehnis rose from the candlelit dinner table to make a toast to ring in the evening’s celebrations for the launch of the exclusive Erdem Vacation collection.

Loehnis proceeded to express her admiration for her longtime friend, designer Erdem Moralıoğlu, lauding the sophistication, intelligence, elegance, and joy that his collections bring. "We need joy more than ever," she added, raising a glass to its power. "Hear hear!" called out Clara McGregor; another guest chimed in, "I love that word, joy."

Set poolside at the Chateau Marmont, the dinner table was a vision, covered in linen and decorated with delicate wildflowers. No detail was overlooked; branded matchbooks were thoughtfully placed at the bar, and the candlelit pool illuminated the lounge chairs adorned with branded pool towels.

Moralıoğlu told his guests, "It s so rare that I get to come to Los Angeles to celebrate with friends that are old and that are new, so thank you." The designer s collection, "Vacation," launching exclusively at Net-a-Porter, draws inspiration from the beauty of nature and the urge to travel. As a brand renowned for its exceptional fabrics, intricate details, and signature Victorian floral prints, this collection continues the tradition with sundresses, sun hats, and pareos.

The event was attended by a diverse mix of fashion and Hollywood personalities, including Rashida Jones, Niecy Nash, Jasmine Cephas Jones, Hillary Rhoda, Gillian Jacobs, January Jones, Ava DuVernay, Dita Von Teese, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, and more.

To cap off the evening, guests were presented with coup glasses filled with berries and cream, which prompted Ava DuVernay to cheerfully exclaim "Cheers!" and clink glasses with Niecy Nash, Jasmine Cephas Jones, and Andrew Chapelle, sending a cascade of cheers down the table.
