Los Angeles locals gathered in Beverly Hills last night to support the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund. Brett Heyman, the creative director and founder of Edie Parker, hosted the intimate, family-style dinner at the old-school Italian restaurant and bar La Dolce Vita, joined by close friends Jennifer Meyer, Sara Foster, Erin Foster, and China Chow.

Guests including Selma Blair, Rachel Zoe, Samantha Ronson, and Ali Larter passed around bowls of penne pasta and meatballs while mingling in the restaurant’s cozy red leather booths. Besides the delicious Italian food, what everyone really wanted to get their hands on was Edie Parker’s custom Time’s Up clutch. The black clutch, on display throughout the evening, was specially designed by Heyman and says Time’s Up in silver mirror block text with black hardware.

Heyman explained that this unique creation was inspired by the red carpet: “The red carpet is really important to us and we were inspired by everything that’s happening with the Time’s Up movement. This is our way of acknowledging it. Anyone with a platform and an audience should use it to stand up for what they believe in.”

Edie Parker will be donating 100 percent of the proceeds of the Time’s Up clutch to Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, which subsidizes legal support for individuals who have experienced sexual harassment or related retaliation in the workplace. The custom creation is now available to order online. Plus, following the party in Los Angeles, a percentage of proceeds from Edie-Parker.com overall will benefit Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund from February 1–8.
