On Saturday night, Abbot Kinney traded its usual Venice cool for French Riviera heat. American Vintageāborn in Marseille, raised on Californian easeāthrew its 20th anniversary bash in its newest U.S. store, turning the boulevard into a runway, dance floor, and neighborhood fĆŖte all at once.

The week leading up was a pre-party in itself. Locals queued for Cha Cha Matcha lattes on Monday, munched popcorn on Tuesday, and dipped into churros and lemonade midweek. By Friday, a collab with TRIAAANGLES had fans lining up for freshly screen-printed collector tees, smoothies in hand. Saturday afternoon brought Carmela ice creamājust enough sugar to carry the crowd into the main event at sundown.
The guest list read like a cross-section of young Hollywood and global cool kidsāEyal Booker, Rocky Barnes, Christina Masterson, Christian Isaiah, Corbyn Besson, Clara Berry, Justine Cuenco, Jade Hallyday, and moreāall weaving through racks and sipping cocktails under the soft Venice air. Photographer Gabriel Perez Silva captured the scene, while influencers slipped in and out, phones raised, every corner turned into content.

āVenice feels like the right place to celebrate,ā founder and CEO MichaĆ«l Azoulay said earlier in the week, reflecting on the brandās South of France roots. āThereās a natural exchange hereāsunlight, colors, freedomāthatās in our DNA.ā

When the in-store lights dimmed at 10, the crowd spilled down the block to The Butcherās Daughter for the invite-only afterparty. Twee and IZY kept the beats alive until closing, the same faces from the store dancing in tighter corners, the mood looser and louder.
For a brand that built its name on elevated basics, American Vintage made sure its 20th year felt anything but basic. Between a week of neighborhood treats and a finale that pulled in fashionistas, actors, musicians, and locals alike, the anniversary marked more than a milestoneāit set a tone for whatās next. Expect more color, more community, and more reasons to party on both sides of the Atlantic.
