ALTITUDE AND ATTITUDE
BEVERLY HILLS FASHION WEEK TAKES FLIGHT WITH ‘RUNWAY TO RUNWAY‘

ACCA JOURNAL | Exclusive Feature

Beverly Hills is a city synonymous with the gold standard of luxury, where every street is a gallery and every evening a curated event. But its ambition extends beyond the famous palm-lined boulevards. It is staking its claim as a new global fashion capital, one defined by West Coast glamour and international savoir-faire.

This October, Beverly Hills Fashion Week (BHFW) is set to present its second, highly anticipated edition, dramatically titled: “Runway to Runway.” From October 10th to 12th, 2025, co-founders Tammy Barr and Edgar Saakyan are transforming the city's most exclusive venues into dynamic stages for a vision that marries high fashion with the ultimate expression of freedom: aviation.

The Art of Elevation: A Cultural Trajectory

The “Runway to Runway” theme is more than a clever pairing; it is a profound metaphor for the spirit of the West Coast fashion industry itself. As CEO Tammy Barr articulates, the concept is inspired by the connection between two worlds built on aspiration and impeccable design—aviation and fashion—symbolizing movement, exploration, and the artistry that takes flight.

In a world increasingly focused on the digital, BHFW anchors its experience in the tangible luxury of exquisite textiles and unparalleled presentation. The theme speaks to the global jet-set culture that Beverly Hills naturally embodies, framing the event not just as a local showcase, but as a crucial connector in the international fashion dialogue. It is a cultural statement that asserts: the West Coast is not following trends; it is launching them.

Exclusive Destinations for Visionary Design

For a premier luxury platform, the setting is paramount. The 2025 BHFW has carefully selected two exclusive venues that are, in themselves, works of art and luxury:

Gravitas: The Golden Triangle Opening
On Friday, October 10th, the journey begins at the Gravitas Private Club, nestled within the coveted Golden Triangle. The intimate setting, surrounded by spectacular landscaped grounds, is the perfect canvas for a sensory experience. This is where designers and guests engage directly, allowing the artistry of the collections to be felt up close—a necessary intimacy before the designs take full flight.

Explore Gravitas
Villa Andalusia: The Private Panorama
The momentum soars on Saturday, October 11th at the majestic Private Villa (Villa Andalusia). This multimillion-dollar estate offers a stunning panorama, providing a dramatic, luxurious backdrop that underscores the exclusivity of the BHFW platform. The Villa will host an evening of luxury brand activations and a red-carpet experience designed for connection and glamour.

Designers Taking Off

The strength of BHFW lies in its fusion of local flair with international pedigree. The 2025 event will see the triumphant return of international heavyweights Cristallini and Fashion Drug by Anahit, whose collections promise to bring a vibrant European sensibility to the West Coast stage. Their presence, alongside other debuting luxury fashion houses, cements Beverly Hills as a critical stop on the global circuit.

The two-day event is highly curated, designed for the discerning few. Access is primarily by invitation to key industry figures—the stylists, buyers, press, and celebrities who shape the future of fashion. For those seeking to immerse themselves in this essential cultural gathering, a limited number of VIP tickets are available for sale, offering a rare passage into the nexus of luxury, style, and art.

BHFW is not merely showcasing clothing; it is curating an entire culture. The "Runway to Runway" theme promises an artful spectacle that will cement Beverly Hills’ position as the premier stage for luxury, proving that the most influential designs are those that embrace the movement toward the future.

This prestigious gathering transformed a private restaurant into a luxurious setting, where champagne flowed freely and new members were inducted. Her Highness, Princess Karen Cantrell, presided over the evening with elegance, highlighting the sponsors and current projects of members, as well as the missions that drive them. ACCA Journal was honored to donate a whimsical artwork, "The Little Prince" by Shen Jingdong, to the CONFRERIE DU SABRE D'OR.

Lu Monteleone goes beyond the gallery walls. Read the story in ACCA Journal's Rodeo Drive Edition.

In the heart of Las Vegas, where artistry takes many forms, Lu Monteleone emerges as a multifaceted creative force. Best known for her striking, large-scale monochromatic portraits, Lu's oil-on-canvas works capture the emotional depth of cultural icons like Freddie Mercury and the Dalai Lama. Her portraits are more than visual likenesses—they are meditations on character, each piece drawing viewers into the inner world of its subject. From up close or at a distance, the intensity of her brushwork keeps the eye moving and the soul engaged.But Luann—affectionately called Lu by those who know her—doesn't stop at visual art. She is also a skilled musician, with a background as a drummer that influences the rhythm and energy of her painting. That pulse—the driving force behind every beat and every brushstroke—infuses her work with a unique, dynamic quality. Her studio is often filled with music; the percussion of her practice echoes the tempo of her canvases.Lu's work has been exhibited in galleries throughout Las Vegas, in the art hubs of Laguna Beach, CA, and most recently at the Sustainable Swim Week International Miami event in South Beach, Miami. These shows are just the beginning. With a growing body of collectors and admirers, she is now preparing for a series of future exhibitions that promise to blend her personal story with community impact.

Beyond the gallery walls, Lu’s most meaningful work may be happening quietly in hospitals, shelters, and recovery centers. Born from her personal experience with grief, Art Healing Hearts is a community art program she founded after losing a loved one—a moment that changed the course of her life and art. What began as a personal outlet for pain soon became a mission to help others process trauma through creative expression.

" By Drawing and Painting. Patients are increasing Connectivity Between the Right and Left Hemispheres of the Brain and Growing New Brainn Cells."

Today, Lu brings healing through art to over 250 people each month. She teaches participants to paint, not for technique, but for transformation. Her program reaches survivors of s*x trafficking, veterans, first responders, adolescents struggling with self-harm, and individuals dealing with addiction, traumatic brain injuries, or severe mental illness. Each brushstroke offers a moment of peace, clarity, and connection.
Lu’s approach is rooted in empathy, not instruction. She believes that the act of creating art—even without prior experience—can help people reclaim parts of themselves long buried by trauma. Many participants continue painting on their own, turning art into an ongoing journey of recovery and self-expression.

"Art Reduces Stress and Anxiety Increases Positive Emotions"

As Art Healing Hearts expands, Lu plans to bridge her professional and philanthropic worlds. Upcoming gallery shows could feature not only her own pieces but also work created by participants in the program—elevating their voices and stories to a wider audience.

For Lu Monteleone, the canvas is both a stage and a sanctuary. Whether she’s holding a drumstick or a paintbrush, her rhythm is steady: create with purpose, connect with heart, and always keep moving forward.

Philip A. Corley is a renowned artist and living legacy born in post-World War II Dublin, Ireland. His uplifting and lyrical subjects served as a balm to a nation recovering from devastation. Recently, his work was showcased at Sonder - The Abbey by Marriott Bonvoy in Miami Beach, his family's gallery in Delray Beach, Florida, and the Palm Beach Convention Center.Corley's early influences included post-impressionists Walter Frederick Osborne, Joseph Malachy Kavanagh, and Daniel O'Neill, who shared a deep connection with nature and uplifting subject matter. His artwork, spanning portraiture, landscapes, and everyday life, inspires heroism and bravery. A lyrical painter and Renaissance man, Corley's stunning seascapes and rural scenes have been captured in murals and canvases during his travels across Europe and the United States.Guided by mentors Sean Keating, Maurice McGonical, and John Kelly, Corley began his artistic journey at a young age. By 15, he was the youngest exhibitor at the Royal Hibernian Academy, and later qualified as a teacher. A private scholarship at the Academy de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris further enriched his personal vision under the tutelage of Yves Brayer.Corley's work continues to flourish, with annual exhibitions at the Royal Hibernian Academy and distinguished galleries. His sons, Stephen and Tom Corley, and wife Geraldine, now purvey his artwork. Upcoming exhibitions include a show in Washington DC in June 2025 and a limited edition release through the ACCA Art Gallery in Beverly Hills, California.Fellow artist Daniel Stanford aptly sums up Corley's perspective: "Every brushstroke...tells a story, a fusion of soul, memory, intuition, and emotion." Stanford adds that supporting living artists allows them to create, evolve, and transmit beauty in a chaotic world. Let's build a world where artists thrive.

Meet sculptor J'aime Leilani Spezzano-Moulin from ACCA Journal's Rodeo Drive Edition

Bio: Born and raised on Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, she draws inspiration from the natural world’s raw beauty and power. Her artistic journey has taken her from Los Angeles to Paris, where she studied under renowned sculptor Alexandre Haulet, and then back to LA, where she continues her learning with Alejandro Buchner and David Simon. With a background in acting, J’aime approaches sculpture as a narrative art, shaping figures that resonate with universal human experiences. Her work has been exhibited at Mama Shelter Hollywood Artists Night, The Bendix Art Event, and DTLA ArtNight (April, May, + June), as well as sculpting live onstage for the Surrender musical event—each piece inviting viewers to find fragments of their own stories within them.

Statement:Sculpture is my language, my way of carving emotion into form, of capturing the intangible and making it tangible. Born and raised on Oahu, Hawaii, I have always felt deeply connected to the natural world—its raw beauty, its fluidity, its power. This connection informs my work, guiding my hands as I shape each piece, seeking to imbue it with both presence and soul.My artistic journey has taken me across the world in pursuit of mastery. At 18, I moved to Los Angeles, driven by an insatiable desire to create. In Paris, I had the privilege of studying under the renowned sculptor Alexandre Haulet, refining my technique and learning to trust the interplay between material and concept. Back in Los Angeles, I continue my learning with Alejandro Buchner and David Simon, deepening my understanding of form, anatomy, and narrative in sculpture. For many years, I lived within the art of transformation as an actress—embodying roles, giving them depth, history, and mystery, turning characters into fully realized people. In many ways, that same process continues in my sculpting. These figures, these stories, feel as though they have always been a part of me, emerging from within, each one carrying echoes of the many lives I have stepped into. And yet, perhaps they are not just mine. Perhaps we all share these characters, these stories, in one form or another. We are all connected, each of us living out fragments of these narratives at different moments in time.Sculpting is not just what I do—it is who I am. It is the pulse that drives me, the discipline that challenges me, and the passion that defines me.
