An important message from LAVA – September 9, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dear friends,<\/p>\n

It is with no small amount of regret that we are putting the monthly LAVA Sunday Salon and Broadway on My Mind walking tour series on hiatus, effective immediately. Both events take place at Les Noces du Figaro restaurant, which is closing down for several months of renovations.<\/p>\n

We will be working closely with Jonathan Mgaieth of Figaro to determine a relaunch date as soon as the restaurant reopens, hopefully in early 2015. So stay tuned, and we hope to see you at other LAVA events in the meantime.<\/p>\n

Please know that your continued thoughts and good will are the rock upon which LAVA builds its house.<\/p>\n

With thanks for your understanding, we remain,
Richard Schave and Kim Cooper
LAVA – The Los Angeles Visionaries Association<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Join LAVA<\/span> for our revived free monthly Sunday Salon series. We return to South Broadway, to the mezzanine of Les Noces du Figaro<\/a>, which was recently opened by the family behind Figaro Bistro<\/a> in Los Feliz. This handsome space was formerly Schaber’s Cafeteria<\/a> (Charles F. Plummer, 1928), and the mezzanine features wonderful views of the Los Angeles Theatre<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the last Sunday of each month, LAVA welcomes interested individuals to gather in downtown Los Angeles (noon-2pm), for a structured Salon featuring formal presentations and opportunities to meet and connect with one another. If you’re interested in joining LAVA as a creative contributor or an attendee, we recommend Salon attendance as an introduction to this growing community. We also recommend the eclairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

LAVA Visionary of the Year Lecture: Forgotten Artists: The Master Tailors of Hollywood’s Golden Age<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Who made Clark Gable look the part of a superstar? Who dressed Humphrey Bogart, the Ice Follies, and an entire generation of Filipino migrant workers? Who led Liberace from traditional white tie and tails towards outfits shimmering with Swarovksi crystals? The long-forgotten master tailors of Hollywood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s golden age, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s who! While Tinseltown\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s great dress designers \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Adrian, Irene \u00e2\u20ac\u201d remain well-known, the tailors whose genius rendered Fred Astaire and William Powell impossibly suave have faded into obscurity\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 until now. Join Los Angeles retail historian, and LAVA<\/span> Visionary of the Year, Marc Chevalier<\/a>, as he reveals the marvelous, surprising stories of Hollywood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s top three tailors, whose extraordinary careers rose and fell with the movie industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marc’s presentation will be divided into two sections, each about 45 minutes in length, with a 15 minute break in between.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Salon will be followed by a free walking tour, The Flaneur & The City: Broadway on My Mind walking tour #13<\/a>. Please visit the tour series <\/span>Landing Page<\/a> for videos and descriptions of past tours and the goals of the series.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
