It took 20 crates, shipped from the Netherlands to Los Angeles, for Amsterdam-based label Extreme Cashmere’s recent sartorial – and culinary – takeover of Just One Eye, a concept store housed in a vast, gallery-like space in Hollywood’s buzzy Sycamore district.
In them were the ingredients for hosting a dinner in Extreme Cashmere’s distinct style – each fashion week, its team invites guests to impromptu-feeling home-cooked dinners and lunches, and have also hosted gatherings in cities around the world – including their own green-glass wine tumblers, table cloths, linen napkins, salad bowls and cutlery. They even shipped over (albeit in the cabin of the plane, rather than in the cargo) the maître d’ from Zoldering, their favourite restaurant in Amsterdam, alongside a chef with whom they’ve long collaborated.
