L.A. Project Presented by PAPER Magazine
For the third year in a row, we here at PAPER are bringing it to the City of Angels. We're putting together our annual L.A. issue and throwing a series of art events, concerts, dance parties, dinners and much, much more! All in the name of celebrating Los Angeles!

In order to properly invade L.A., we'll be bringing some of our favorite non-LA peeps -- Sarah and Nadège of Paris-based, super-, super-cool legendary boutique Colette, those lovable, long-haired, matchy-matchy fellows Andrew Andrew, Ludlow Street staple-slash-artist Marc Razo, Polaroid snapper Henny Garfunkel and photographer/filmmaker Cheryl Dunn.
