Fashion Group International (FGI) threw its “The Designers & Their Muses” party at the Standard Hotel last night — luring a hodgepodge of acclaimed and, well, totally unknown designers, who were asked to attend with their “muses” — models dressed in looks from their latest collection (Gen Art asked the same of its participating designers on Tuesday night, but FGI spearheaded the formula last season).

Lloyd Klein (who isn’t L.A.’s trendiest designer, but could very well be its most skilled) came with his Natalie Cole, who was dressed in a jaw-dropping bright green gown meticulously draped and cut. “I feel so good in this,” enthused the singer. “This is how a dress should fit!”

Nony Tochterman from Petro Zillia, Project Runway grads Mila Hermanovski and Jesus Estrada and L.A. fashion vet Sue Wong also turned out for the event with gussied-up models in tow.
