Each designer will take over a private cottage at the Chateau Marmont Hotel in Hollywood to showcase their SS14 red carpet pieces for the duration of the event. STYLEBOP.com will take over a bungalow showcasing current season red carpet designers for VIPs to wear at the BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards on Saturday night. West Coast stylists, press and VIPs will have the opportunity to meet the designers in person and view the collections in a unique environment.
