🌟 We’re Over the Moon to Have The McLarens (@2mclarens) as Our DJ for the Alexis Project Fundraiser!🌟   When it comes to setting the vibe for an unforgettable night, no one does it quite like The McLarens. True icons in every sense!    Marsha Molinari’s (@@marshamolinari ) not only an LGBTQIA+ fashion trailblazer and successful business owner but also a passionate human rights activist who continues to make waves in the world of culture, fashion, and nightlife. Her role as the Creative Director of J.Molinari Jewelry further showcases her unparalleled creativity and vision.   Meanwhile, Breck Lombardi (@brecklombardi), the fashion director for Resurrection Vintage, brings an undeniable sense of precision and artistry to the pair’s creative endeavors. His background in fashion and design makes every choice deliberate, with a refined eye for detail that elevates every moment. Together, Marsha and Breck curate not only sounds but entire atmospheres, blending their creative backgrounds into a cohesive, elevated experience.   The way The McLarens combine music and style feels like a well-tuned performance—elegant, smooth, and distinctly theirs. Their sound evokes luxury with a pulse, creating a mood that’s undeniably chic and timeless. It’s a harmony of fashion and music, bringing both elements together to create something that resonates long after the final note.   Their influence extends far beyond the DJ booth. As the creative masterminds behind some of LA’s hottest clubs and most exclusive parties with The h.wood Group, they’ve crafted experiences that define what it means to be at the cutting edge of cool.
