Leave it to Spinelli Kilcollin to keep a crowd out past curfew on a school night—and just days after Coachella weekend one, no less. On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles-based jewelry brand went all out, hosting its first-ever large-scale bash to mark its 15th anniversary.
Held at an industrial-style space—a former art gallery that will soon become the brand’s new West coast flagship—and in its sprawling parking lot, the silver-themed setting was packed to the brim with partygoers eager to keep the momentum going post-festival.
“We’ve had some nice parties in our New York store, but it’s much smaller—and now we have this 5,000-square-foot space,” co-founder Yves Spinelli told Vogue. Much to the delight of its Angeleno fans, the new digs will also feature a listening room, design studio, and photo studio. “We were thinking of ways to bring our story to the new store,” Spinelli shared. Dwyer Kilcollin, the other half of the husband-and-wife duo, chimed in. “People always want to come over and listen to music,” she said, noting the professional concert hall-like acoustics in their own garage.
Upon arrival, guests were met with a Waymo—a partner of the evening—parked beneath an oversized disco ball. Just beside it, a claw machine filled with Spinelli Kilcollin’s coveted rings and fragrances became an instant hit. Word quickly spread that one lucky person had indeed scored some jewelry earlier on in the night, prompting many to try their luck at the notoriously tricky game.
In the main area, a silver bouncy house drew attention—though only a few mustered the courage to slide in after a cocktail or two. The Sapphire Spritz—nodding to both diamonds and the night’s other sponsor Chase Sapphire Reserve—proved popular, along with Suntory’s signature drinks. Nearby, a photo-booth was mobbed, with a steady line forming for hours. Guests even tapped into their creative side by doodling on a blank wall, and for those who arrived hungry, a food truck outside was stocked with burgers, chili fries, margarita pizza, and meatballs by Etra.
Justine Skye, fresh off her whirlwind Coachella weekend, was still in top form. “I’m feeling exhausted, but I’m here now with all my friends, so I’m rejuvenated and I feel good,” the Collide singer shared. Still buzzing from Justin Bieber’s viral set, Skye admitted she “cried hysterically” during the performance. “It was embarrassing, but you know, that’s my brother.” Naturally, she wasn’t about to miss celebrating with her close friends, DJs Simi and Haze, either. “The one thing about our friend group is that we love to dance. I’m trying to get everyone inside because I’m like, ‘let’s f—g dance.’”
Clad in an all-black look, Blackpink’s Jennie paused to hug Spinelli on the way to the dance floor. Kaia Gerber, meanwhile, kept a low profile in oversized black sunglasses. Rounding out the guest list were Fai Khadra, Giveon, Aminé, Luna Blaise, and Central Cee. Symone, the winner of season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, was among those who were decked out in Spinelli Kilcollin’s cult-favorite stacked rings. “Yesterday, we came in around 11 a.m., and they brought out a tray and told us, ‘Try on anything you like—you can have as many as you want!’”
The party hit a fever pitch once Kaytranada stepped behind the booth, with Lizzo among those who were most hyped about the performance. “Kaytranada is family for life,” the About Damn Time hitmaker, who strolled into the party just before 1 a.m, gushed. Additional sets from Pedro and HiTech kept the crowd sticking around well into the early hours—did Coachella even really end?
