“She was everybody’s mother,” Laura Love said gleefully, describing her mother, Lisa Love. fashion magazine At dinner Monday night, long-time West Coast troops. The mother-daughter duo are preparing to host a party in honor of British clothing brand ME+EM at Dean’s, a new bar and restaurant in SoHo.
Chloe Malle, Derek Blasberg, Devyn Garcia and Pamela Hansen were among those who came to toast the London label’s spring show. Guests amble through the charming pub, the latest project from the team behind King and Jupiter, past wooden banquettes and vintage advertisements displayed on the walls, pausing only when they encounter an assigned seat, where they are greeted by fresh oysters and Guinness bread with Marmite.
Speaking over a candlelit feast of martinis, malt vinegar fish and chips, ME+EM founder Clare Hornby warmly thanked Lisa and Laura for putting together an “incredibly stylish” team. Intergenerational style—coast to coast—was the theme of the evening, with Hornby’s daughters Grace and Maddie even traveling from across the pond to attend.
For the celebration, Lisa wore a stylish black leather jacket, which she paired with her signature square-frame sunglasses. When asked about ME+EM’s upcoming Mother’s Day social media photos, Lisa laughed and gave all the credit to Laura. “She forced me to do these things, and I told her, ‘I’m not a model—I’m your mother.’ And then she told me it was a mother-daughter thing.” As for Laura, she didn’t always pursue fashion as her chosen career path. But after suffering a serious injury, the former ballerina naturally found herself even more curious about her mother’s world. “I feel like what I get from her is my personality. She has a strong sense of style and her signature style,” Laura praised.
