Los Angeles Magazine Celebrates Music Lovers Issue at the Sunset Marquis

Los Angeles magazine and PR maven Kelly Cutrone threw a rockin' soiree at the Sunset Marquis last week to celebrate our October print issue with singing sensation Benson Boone on the cover. Themed "The Music Lover's Issue," the print edition offers interviews with Nick Cave , Kate Pierson , Linda Perry, and Megan Moroney alongside the cover feature on Boone by Steve Appleford. Senior Editor Lina Lecaro also penned a piece celebrating Grammy-recognized albums made in L.A ., with a curated playlist that she spun from all night for party attendees. The issue also features a look at the legendary Sunset Marquis' history and its upcoming renovations by editor Jasmin Rosemberg. The hotel's chic poolside area made for the perfect party backdrop, with Boone's cover image overlooking the soiree.
