Lisa Love and her daughter Laura hosted a dinner honoring the British clothing brand ME+EM at Dean’s pub in SoHo on Monday night. Guests enjoyed British fare amid stylish company, including ME+EM founder Clare Hornby. The event highlighted intergenerational style and the duo's upcoming Mother's Day collaboration.
The mother-daughter pair Lisa Love, Vogue’s longtime West Coast editor, and Laura Love hosted an evening for ME+EM’s spring collection at the newly opened Dean’s, a pub and eatery in SoHo from the team behind King and Jupiter. Attendees included Chloe Malle, Derek Blasberg, Devyn Garcia, and Pamela Hansen, who gathered around wooden banquets lined with vintage ads. They were welcomed with fresh oysters and Guinness bread served with Marmite, followed by martinis, fish and chips with malt vinegar under candlelight. Clare Hornby, founder of the London-based label, thanked Lisa and Laura for assembling an “incredibly stylish” crowd. Hornby’s daughters, Grace and Maddy, traveled from the UK to join the celebration, emphasizing style across generations and coasts. Lisa Love arrived in a sleek black leather jacket and her signature square-framed sunglasses. Speaking about an upcoming ME+EM Mother’s Day photoshoot, she said, “She corrals me into doing these things and I tell her, ‘I’m not a model—I am your mother.’ Then she told me this was a mother and daughter thing.” Laura, a former ballerina sidelined by injury, credited her mother for inspiring her individuality: “I think what I got from her was my individuality. She’s steadfast in how she dresses, and she has her signature style.” Laura had earlier described her mother as “mother to all.”
