Philippe Plein, the designer and father of four, held a glittering pre-Oscars party at his Bel Air estate, Chateau Falconview, on the eve of Hollywood's most celebrated night. The event was part of a social gathering and a private client preview of a capsule collection. Plein's evening-wear collection was inspired by the glamour of Los Angeles and the spectacle of the red carpet. The collection was produced in extremely limited quantities and requires three artisans to complete each garment. VIP pre-selling events connected to the collection generated around $400,000 in sales overnight. The party took place the night before the Academy Awards under heightened security measures amid global tensions and safety concerns.
