T
he neon sign flickering above the front desk just off Melrose
Place says it all: sisterhood works. Debbie Wosskow, a
tech entrepreneur, and Anna Jones, a former CEO of Hearst
in England, founded the private members club AllBright
in 2017 with the express purpose of “changing the world for
women who work,” Wosskow declares. “That can mean
networking opportunities, business education, or just a welcoming space
to have a client meeting, a drink, or even a pedicure.” Buoyed by a thriving
online community, AllBright opened its first brick-and-mortar club in
a London town house in 2018. After launching a second London location
earlier this year, AllBright has now christened its inaugural Stateside
outpost, under the sunny skies of L.A., in a sophisticated yet playful setting
devised by AD100 designer Brigette Romanek. “There’s so much noise
about social clubs these days, but I really responded to the vision that
Debbie and Anna articulated,” Romanek says. “This project is all about
showcasing female creativity, from the art on the walls to the wine at the
bar.” Features include an entry sheathed in emerald acrylic; dining and
lounge venues with plush seating covered in velvet and houndstooth;
a full-service salon; and a rooftop terrace with 360-degree views of the
Hollywood Hills. Says Romanek, “You don’t have to sacrifice pretty to
celebrate the power of women.” allbrightcollective.com —MAYER RUS
