All posts related to Carven on Guest of a Guest for Carven.

From red carpet movie premieres and elegant luncheons to appearances at The Grove, stars were out putting their most fashionable feet forward all over town this week. Fresh new takes on the always appropriate LBD, pantsuits, bold colors and inspired spring prints were all among the biggest hits but we've narrowed it down to our favorites. See who won a spot in our top 10 looks of the week in this edition of L.A.'s Best Dressed Guests.
Opening a boutique with staying power in a city like NYC is no small feat, but Claire Distenfeld was up for the challenge. She opened her Upper East Side fashion mecca, Fivestory, last spring - and one year later, it's still going strong, hailed by critics as one of the best curated high-fashion boutiques in the city. The multi-story townhouse carries everything from Balmain to Carven, but no matter what she puts in her store, her goal is to always make women feel good, telling us, "I'm never gonna buy pieces that won't make a woman feel good. She can feel different, she can feel unique, but you're not gonna see a garbage bag with holes in my store." Click through to see how Claire Distenfeld was able to use her background in fine arts to make a name for herself in the cutthroat fashion industry, and stand out from the rest. More>>
