LOS ANGELES, CA – July 31, 2025: In true LA fashion, last Thursday night was not just another evening on the calendar; it was a celebration of refined masculinity, cinematic flair, and unmistakable West Coast cool. Held in a private space tucked discreetly in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles–based menswear brand Urbane & Gallant unveiled its highly anticipated latest collection with an exclusive event that felt more like a scene from a film than a fashion launch.
The guest list was intimate but star-studded, with tastemakers, industry insiders, and press all gathering under a canopy of warm California twilight. Co-hosting the event was Mary Bonnet, breakout star of Selling Sunset, who turned heads in a deconstructed custom ensemble from the brand, a perfect harmony of structure and softness. The dramatic look was elevated with heirloom-worthy TACORI fine jewelry, proving that statement menswear and luxury sparkle are not mutually exclusive.
The Collection: A Reimagining of Masculinity
Urbane & Gallant's latest offering is a modern ode to the multidimensional man. Known for its tailored silhouettes and subtle provocations, the brand continues to challenge traditional boundaries of menswear with elevated essentials and unexpected details. The new collection leans into soft suiting, breathable textures, and asymmetrical design elements, each piece crafted to mirror the evolving identity of the modern man: grounded, expressive, and unapologetically refined.
Mary Bonnet: A Muse Beyond Gender Lines
While the collection is anchored in menswear, Mary Bonnet's styling reminded everyone that fashion, especially great fashion, has no gender. Her commanding presence, matched by her willingness to play with structure and contrast, made her the perfect co-host for the evening. "I love pieces that make you feel powerful without saying a word," Bonnet told LA Living. "Urbane & Gallant designs with intention. This looks like the brand tells a story without ever needing to explain itself."
A Culinary Affair to Remember
No celebration is complete without a feast, and this one was helmed by none other than Chef Dafne Mejia, a standout from Hell's Kitchen Season 21. Known for her bold Latin-infused cuisine and fearless flavor profiles, Mejia delivered a dinner that felt indulgent yet deeply personal. Guests dined al fresco under string lights and the soft hum of conversation, enjoying a curated menu that celebrated California's seasonal bounty with elevated touches, think duck confit tacos with truffle crema, blistered heirloom tomatoes on smoked burrata, and a show-stopping grilled branzino with charred lemon. "It's important that my food tells a story just like fashion does," said Mejia. "Tonight was about bringing bold energy to the plate, in a way that feels elegant and fun."
Sip, Savor, Celebrate
The drinks flowed freely, thanks to an impressive lineup of beverage sponsors that turned the bar into its destination. From the clean, refined edge of Hard Cut Vodka, to the tropical depth of Sonrisa Rum, and the smoky allure of Hedonistas Mezcal, guests explored the world of premium spirits with cocktails explicitly curated for the evening. Wine lovers were not left out, thanks to pours of RUMOR Rosé, a French favorite beloved for its crisp, pale pink perfection, and De La Torre, which added a rich and elegant finish to the night's offerings. Each brand added a layer of texture to the event, inviting guests to explore, sip, and linger longer.
The Art of Intimate Luxury
What set this evening apart wasn't just the fashion or food; it was the feeling. Urbane & Gallant didn't just unveil a new collection; they curated a lifestyle moment. From the carefully placed florals to the vinyl-only DJ set spinning vintage soul and Parisian lounge beats, every element worked in harmony. "It's not about doing something big," a rep for the brand shared. "It's about doing something intentional. We wanted to create a night that reflects our customer, discerning, grounded, and quietly bold."
A Look Forward
As the final toast was raised and the lights dimmed, the message was clear: Urbane & Gallant is not just shaping the next chapter of menswear, it's redefining what luxury looks and feels like in 2025.
Effortlessly stylish, rooted in culture, and unapologetically original, the brand's newest chapter proves that great fashion isn't just about the clothes, it's about the people who wear them, and the moments they help create.
