Fall styles were on stage at Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles during Macy's Passport Glamorama event Sept. 23.

Macy's Glamorama event was AMAZING! Macy’s Passport has been hosting this event to raise money for charities that help fight HIV/AIDS, among other causes.

The fashion event was a red carpet production that was far more than a fashion show. It infused the latest pop-culture music, dance performances, art and fashion all in one show at the Orpheum Theatre in downtown L.A. The presenter for this year's event was the stunning Sharon Stone. I only hope to produce an event close to this caliber in Hawaii. One day!

Many celebrities showed up to support the cause. I had the privilege of meeting and walking Jennifer Love Hewitt down the red carpet as part of the media team. Jennifer wore a form-fitting electric blue Herve Leger dress.

Hawaii's Courtney Arndt was among the models.

I was also proud to see Hawaii's Courtney Arndt, who moved to L.A. to further her modeling career, walking the Macy’s runway, which featured all the latest fall looks from Macy’s collections, including designs by Rachel Rachel Roy, Bar III, Armani Jeans, Calvin Klein and Tracy Reese.

Musical performances by multi-talented Cee Lo Green and Far East Movement were fantastic, and headlining the next Glamorama show in San Francisco is our own Bruno Mars.

After the show, Macy's turned the Downtown Cal Mart into a lavish after-party with endless food, specialty drinks by Patron, Pinkberry frozen yogurt, sweets by See's and candy swag.

It was very really special evening for a great cause.

XOXO from L.A.,
Crystal
