Dek: Some people come to fashion week to be seen. Top LA influencer Jacqueline “Nami Mami” Laurito came to cheer. We found her in line and asked the only question that matters.
The line outside the Bureau Fashion Week LA tents is a runway of its own: phones up, coats on, everyone acting like they aren’t checking who’s behind them. Somewhere in it we found Jacqueline Laurito, better known as Nami Mami (@nami.m0mmy).
Had they been there the day before? “No, we’re just here for a friend.”
Which friend? Laurito didn’t have to think about it: “Kyla Dodds.”
Good taste in friends. Dodds opened Krissy King Swim at the Bureau Finale and went on to take bronze in The Venus Games. That’s a Nightlife Report editors’ pick, not a Bureau award; the Bureau named no winners. Read: The Wings That Closed the Finale: Kyla Dodds Takes Bronze.
That was the whole exchange. The crowd swallowed the rest of the audio, and we only print words we can actually hear. So no reconstructed sound bites and no “sources close to the line.” Just two answers, and the second one says a lot.
Jacqueline, the line was the warm-up
We’d like the full sit-down: your LA tables, the bars worth the wait, where the night actually ends, and the neighborhood you’d defend to the death. Our door is open, and the questions are good ones. editor@nightlifereport.app.
