 Models danced between rows of records and CDs at Hollywood's
landmark Amoeba Music store, dressed in "fur-free fur" or
embroidered coats and jackets adorned in cat motifs and leopard
and tiger prints.
Light dresses bore graphic circles while loose blouses were
paired with loose trousers. Known for her neutral color
palettes, McCartney's pre-fall line came in cream and earthy
tones with dabs of indigo, orange and pink.
The designer, who presents her main collections in Paris,
follows on the heels of Tom Ford, who showcased his fall 2015
line in Hollywood in February. Last year, Louis Vuitton held its
"LV Series 2" exhibit in Hollywood while Burberry took over Los
Angeles' Griffith Observatory to show its 2015 collection.
"We'd always wanted to have a party in LA and it just really
felt like the right time," McCartney said.
"I have so many close friends here and I spend a lot of time
here and it just feels like a moment when music, film, fashion,
the arts, it's all just come together for LA."
McCartney often dresses select celebrities for the red carpet.
At Sunday's Golden Globes, Taraji P. Henson, who won best drama
TV actress for "Empire", wore a custom McCartney strapless white
dress.
"We don't go out and, kind of, attack people and we don't pay
people, we just go with the flow of whatever happens that
season," she said.

The show drew big names like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Katy
Perry and Anjelica Huston to the store. McCartney, daughter of
former Beatle Paul McCartney, said music is a key influence.
"I've been brought up with music, so it's something that I feel very
comfortable around, probably more comfortable around than fashion,
quite frankly," she said.
The fashion spotlight on Los Angeles centers on the red carpets
rolled out during the two-month awards season.
Saint Laurent will present its fall/winter 2016 menswear and part of
its womenswear collections in Los Angeles on Feb. 10 ahead of the
Grammy Awards five days later.
The curtains come down on the awards season on Feb. 28 when the
Oscars are handed out at the Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood's
Dolby Theater.
