Right on the heels of The Newport Beach Film Festival, It’s So LA’s™ Kellie Koppel and Mamz’elle Margalette’s Stephanie Audoin created buzz for the upcoming Cannes Film Festival with a pre-Cannes salon tease of the French Rivera at Newport Beach Harbor on the Paradiso yacht celebrating fashion, film, and music.

There was creative stimuli everywhere to be found, including French Film sneak-peeks. Celebrity DJ’s Christos Kedras and Sonikem were spinning live on the decks, while guests perused and bid on designer and luxury silent auction items.
