DOWNTOWN GOES WEST: Looks seen at the S Magazine issue 10 release party in West Hollywood were fit for a Silver Lake street corner. And we mean that in a good way. (all images by Chad Wilson for Style Section L.A.)

Street Style: S Mag Party

Downtown darlings celebrate S Magazine's latest issue.

On Wednesday night, while others were polishing up their Manolos in preparation for Sex and the City 2, the city's underground style elite feted S Magazine's latest issue at the Eighth Veil gallery in West Hollywood. 

And while there were no Manolos or cosmos to be found, the crowd of designers, photographers, filmmakers and artists mimicked the envelope-pushing pages of S — a conceptual, photo-heavy fashion glossy — with a whole lot of vintage. And continuing the magazine's tradition of using the human body as art, there was some nudity, too.

Guests were given a limited-edition American Apparel T-shirt featuring images from the current issue — a woman with, uh, boobs on her butt and a Danielle Levitt-shot appreciation of the zaftig form. 

But the party, which was produced by publicist Jessica Trent, didn't end at the gallery — Dj Ana Calderon shepherded the crowd to Bardot in Hollywood for an after party. 

Here are some of the East Side-heavy looks that we loved.
