Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and Mytheresa gathered friends and creatives for a moonlit evening in Beverly Hills at the John Lautner–designed Sheats-Goldstein residence on Friday, May 12, to launch Anderson’s escapist Paula’s Ibiza capsule. The hillside house, built into a sandstone ledge and known for its extensive gardens and grid-like views of Los Angeles as well as the detailed architect-designed interiors, was the setting for an intimate dinner followed by an Ibiza-inspired dance party with Taylor Russell, Dan Levy, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, Camila Mendes, Kit Connor, Ali Wong, Omar Apollo, Greta Lee, and Spanish singer Bad Gyal on hand.

Anderson’s collection, inspired by endless summers on Ibiza—the Spanish island that evolved into a mecca for musicians and counterculture creatives—is also an homage to Armin Heinemann’s legendary boutique in the area’s Old Town. Paula’s, the cultish shop he opened in 1972, embraced flora and fauna prints that have become synonymous with the liberated energy of the place and Anderson’s new skin-baring silhouettes and boldly colored designs seemed particularly eye-catching and evocative on this L.A. night. The house’s beLEAF technology was also on display as Mendes donned a top crafted from Alocasia macrorrhiza leaves bonded with jersey. The backless design is included in Mytheresa’s edit along with an exclusive selection of dresses, tops, and handmade basket bags of woven raffia and Iraca palm from the capsule that highlights braided and textured pieces and crocheted polo shirts, skirts, and dresses. Guests got a first look at the party-ready designs before dancing into the night to beats by Ibiza club favorites The Blessed Madonna, The Martinez Brothers, and Pascal Moscheni.
